Originating from the humid region of Southeast Asia, kratom is a product that is creating waves in the West. Traditionally consumed by chewing the leaves of a plant named Mitragyna Speciosa, nowadays its powdered form has become all the rage. 

Kratom powder is a product that is made by grinding the mature leaves of the plant. The leaves of the plant have held high medicinal value for centuries. Nowadays, they are ground into powder on a commercial scale and transformed into capsules or sold as it is. 

Farmers hang the leaves either indoors or outdoors to ensure maximum dryness. They also limit sun exposure to ensure that its alkaloid profile is strong. After the drying process, the farmers then take the leaves, place them inside airtight bags, and send them over to factories for a fine-grinding process. 

What is the Difference between Kratom Powder and Kratom Extract?

New users of kratom products can often find it difficult to understand the main difference between the powder and extract form. This causes a problem when you are buying products at a store or making an online purchase. 

The main difference between them is that the powder is available in fine powder form while the extract is available in liquid form. The former is made by drying and then crushing the leaves, while the latter is produced by brewing the powder or distillation process.
