Akuamma Seeds
Akuamma is similar to Kratom alkaloid mitragynine in terms of effect and structure. With its distinct taste, it has the ability to prepare a supercharged product when it is combined with Kratom. Therefore, it’s a more suitable option for experienced individuals only.
Cayenne Pepper
One of the best Kratom potentiator, cayenne pepper is cheap, readily available and mixes excellently with Kratom.

Kratom Tea

the tea.

- Red
- Green
- White

The strains of Kratom are further sub-classified according to the place of origin. Different islands have been the source of the Kratom plants, such as Islands of Borneo, Sumatra, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc.; hence the names. So, usually, Kratom strains are named after combining the colour and the place of origin, for example,

Riau Kratom originates for the eastern coast of Sumatra. It has recently gained popularity due to its combined attributes of Sumatra and Indo Kratom in which it grows. It is available in red and green, each having its benefits. All in all, it’s best for long-lasting soothing and stimulating effects, which are not as potent as other strains.
Which Kratom strain is the strongest?
