Kratom: A Real Stimulant or Just Another Marketing Ploy?
If you're into the cult of the toned body, you've probably heard of "kickers" and "preworkouts." In most cases, these supplements have the task of increasing our energy level and helping us concentrate during training. However, they often contain a really high amount of caffeine, and their regular use creates tolerance very quickly.
Tree leaves Mitragyna speciosa seem to be a suitable substitute for kickers. But can we use the effects of kratom in our training? How to use it correctly for this purpose? Is there a specific vein color that can help us the most?
Let's break this topic down!
How to choose the right pre-workout supplement?
It is important that we realize what we expect from this supplement and what our needs are in this regard. Today's supplement market has experienced a huge boom in recent years, and most people often cannot make their way through the plethora of products. Let's focus on the main capabilities that our pre-workout supplement should offer:
Power supply
Exercisers often experience a lack of energy in the period just before training. This can be caused by, for example, demanding physical work or lack of sleep during a stressful period. Caffeine, which has been proven as a stimulant for centuries, is most often used in this regard. In addition to stimulation, caffeine also offers an increase in concentration, which is also welcome during training.
Enhancement of muscle growth
In the event that you research the composition of supplements more, you have certainly already encountered, for example, those that contain creatine. Worldwide, it is one of the most widely used supplements for gaining muscle mass or increasing physical performance. If you don't take it separately, it's certainly very convenient if your pre-workout drink contains it.
Alleviation of muscle fatigue
Many people also use substances in their pre-workout drinks that can delay muscle fatigue itself and thus perform more repetitions or, for example, run a longer distance.
Does kratom match these effects?
This is not the most common way to use kratom, on the other hand, its effects are very similar to those sought after among preworkouts. A significant number of people are turning to the use of kratom before training, precisely because of its very similar effects.
However, it is important to note that in order to achieve ideal results, it is necessary to use kratom only from reputable sellers who vouch for its quality and composition.
What kratom to use before training?
The truth is that as far as muscle growth is concerned, kratom does not show any positive effects in this regard. A balanced diet and supplementation of some dietary supplements (for example the already mentioned creatine) can show incredibly good results. It is important that supplements used before training are primarily intended to increase our energy level and concentration, not to directly increase muscle volume or strength itself.
When it comes to choosing a strain, users most often go for white and green veined kratom. It's absolutely simple, these vein colors have a proven stimulating effect in the right amount, and with the right dosage, there is no sedation, as could be the case with red veins, for example.
Safety first
Now we have to mention some principles that you should follow if you want to take full advantage of the power of kratom during your training.
Dose compliance
You've probably already heard about what the leaves of the Mitragyna speciosa tree can do if we don't measure their dosage and take too much. That is why we should be really careful about the administered dose before training, with a higher dosage we could fully experience sedation, which is the complete opposite of the state we are looking for during training.
Using kratom
Of course, it depends on the method of use (capsules, powder, drops), but in general it is indicated ideally 30 minutes before the start of training, which is very similar to pre-workouts.
Don't overexert yourself
Another and much neglected topic is the fact that kratom can reduce the level of pain we feel. Therefore, it can potentially reduce pain during training. Therefore, be careful, because if you do not follow the basic instructions, you can be close to the risk of injury.
Kratom after exercise?
Red kratom can also be used, which can be used after training to maximize muscle relaxation and help with sleep. However, nothing should be overdone, so follow the basic guidelines and be careful when dosing kratom.
