Which Kratom Product Should I Try for the First Time?

Kratom is no doubt one of the most preferred alternative remedies for conditions such as anxiety and pain relief. Concentrated 7-OH products like 7-hydro tablets offer long-lasting physical ease benefits without the side effects associated with conventional pain medications. 

But as a new user, which kratom strain should you try for the first time? Years ago, when I got introduced to kratom, I had the same problem most beginners face. Capsules, extracts, shots, tablets, powder, red vein, green vein, and white vein were confusing and made the decision-making process more complicated. 

Honestly, it was a lot to take in, especially because every product seemed to promise a slightly different experience. The good news is that you do not need to start with the strongest product on the shelf. In fact, you probably should not. The best starting point is usually a traditional kratom product that lets you monitor how your body responds before you start experimenting with concentrated kratom extracts. 

Here are three kratom strains that you can start with before upgrading to extracts.

Key Takeaways

• Red vein kratom is generally associated with a calmer, more relaxing experience, while green and white vein products are linked with more balanced and stimulating effects.
• Beginners should start with a traditional kratom product and learn how their body responds before trying concentrated extracts.
• Acend, Oxonol, and Pseudo are concentrated extracts intended for experienced users, with Acend being the only one of the three unaffected by the upcoming federal action.
• Acend contains 160mg of full-spectrum kratom extract per tablet, while Oxonol and Pseudo contain more concentrated alkaloid profiles with different serving recommendations.
• Users who want to explore concentrated kratom extracts should follow serving instructions carefully, and experienced users seeking an option that will remain available after August 5 can consider Acend.

Red Vein Kratom

Red vein kratom offers a calm and relaxing experience that most new kratom users can manage. You can use it to unwind after a long day, but make sure you start with the smallest dose to avoid overstimulation and excessive drowsiness

Green Vein Kratom

The green vein kratom is like a middle ground between white and red strains. Most people use this strain when they want a balanced experience that supports calm without feeling overly heavy. Green vein products are best used to improve focus and concentration, mood support, and moderate energy boost. 

Concisely, if red vein products feel too relaxing and white vein products sound too stimulating, green vein kratom may be a sensible place to start exploring. 

White Vein Kratom

White vein kratom has a reputation for providing a more stimulating and energizing experience. Choose white vein kratom products when you want to stay alert for extended periods, focused, and active. 

These three kratom strains can help you decide whether kratom is ideal for you. But do not assume that a more stimulating product will automatically be better. Start with the recommended serving and give yourself time to understand how the product affects you. 

Once you have gained some experience with kratom and understand how your body responds to different products, you can go ahead and explore more concentrated options. Real Botanicals offers three products for experienced users: Acend, Oxonol, and Pseudo. 

These products are more potent than ordinary kratom products, so you should only consider them after you understand how kratom affects you and feel comfortable managing your serving size. Let’s briefly look at the specific details of these kratom extracts and how to use them.

Acend Tablets

Acend is one of the 7-OH alternatives that will still be available even after the DEA’s temporary scheduling of concentrated 7-hydroxymitragynine products on August 5th. Each tablet contains 160mg of fermented Mitragynine and a host of other naturally occurring kratom alkaloids. 

Due to the concentration, you should not use more than one tablet in a 24-hour window. Also, you should start with ¼ tablet (40mg) and wait for atleast 90 minutes before redosing. 

Mellow calm, grounded focus, a mood lift without overstimulation, physical ease, mental clarity, and steady energy are some of the reported effects of Acend. The tablet is chewable and has a pleasant mint flavor that makes it palatable and enhances the overall experience. 

Oxonol Tablets

Oxonol is another new kratom extract from Real Botanicals that is formulated using ChromaPure technology. The main active alkaloid, MGM-15, is extracted, purified and presented in the form of a tablet.  

These 7-OH alternative tablets are available in 30mg and 60mg tablet formats. The latter contains more MGM-15, and so it’s more potent. Start with 1//4 tablet per serving. If you opt for the 30mg tablet, start with a ½ tablet per serving. 

Unlike other kratom products, extracts are meant for intentional use, and the effects are gradual. Wait for 30 to 45 minutes before redosing to avoid overshooting. Like Acend, you should not exceed one tablet in a 24-hour window.  Some of the effects of Oxonol are mental quiet, smooth focus, mood support, deep relaxation, and longer-lasting effects. 

Pseudo Tablets

Once you can comfortably handle the effects of Acend and Oxonol, upgrade to Pseudo. This is the most potent 7-OH alternative from Real Botanicals. It contains 50mg of mitragynine pseudoindoxyl per tablet. Most customers say it is more relaxing, grounding, and longer-lasting, but its active alkaloid profile makes it different from the conventional 7-OH products. 

The recommended starting serving is one-quarter of a tablet, which provides 12mg of mitragynine pseudoindoxyl. 

So, Which Kratom Should I Try First

There is no reason to jump straight to the strongest extract when you are still learning how kratom affects you. We recommend starting with traditional kratom products from Real Botanicals rather than concentrated extracts. Once you understand how kratom affects you and feel comfortable following serving instructions, you can explore more concentrated products if you want to. 

However, if you are an experienced kratom user looking for a concentrated product that will remain available after the upcoming federal action, Acend is the clear option among the three.

Real Botanicals is currently offering 20% off Acend, Oxonol, and Pseudo with code WTFDEA. The offer runs until August 5.
