Kratom Helps You Focus in an Increasingly Stressful World
Because of increasing stress, distractions like email, social media, and noisy offices, being productive at work is becoming increasingly difficult today.
With its calming yet cognitive enhancing abilities, Kratom is the perfect answer to a stressful working environment. It will give you laser like focus to get you into the flow state so you can perform at your best.
It’s in their flow state when artists create their best pieces of art, when musicians create the best music, and it’s also when you’re at your most productive and create your highest quality of work.
And this is what Kratom does. It helps keep you in the moment and gets your creative juices flowing. You’re able to forget about other thoughts, which would otherwise distract you, and can focus solely on what you’re working on.
How Does Kratom Help Focus and Productivity?
Kratom is able to do this as it contains active compounds known as alkaloids like mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine.
These alkaloids are opioid agonists. This means they bind to the opioid receptors in your brain which are responsible for improving your mood and increasing your cognition.
This is also backed up by research which has shown Kratom has a stimulating effect on the brain which increases your energy, helps you focus and makes you more productive.
However, there are many different types of Kratom strains. Not all of them enhance your work performance, some are better suited to pain and anxiety relief.
So when you want to crush it, which strains are best to take?
Here are three strains I recommend for getting you performing at your best.
Maeng Da
Maeng Da has nootropic-like properties which improve your mood and maximize productivity.
This is because it has a higher quantity of alkaloids and flavonoids compared to other strains.
One of its primary alkaloids is mitragynine – an alkaloid which the Journal of the American Chemical Society says mimics the effects of opioids in the brain. This means it enhances your cognitive abilities and allows you to concentrate better.
White Indo Kratom
While it is commonly taken to relieve pain and enhance mood, White Indo also boosts your energy and your ability to work harder.
Like Maeng Da, it also has a high alkaloid content. Its main one being 7-hydroxymitragynine.
Believed to be as much as 17 times more potent than morphine, this alkaloid is the reason White Indo Kratom gives you such a calming effect, yet at the same time allow you to focus at the job at hand.
Super Green Malay
The effects of Super Green Malay are unlike any other strain. Whereas other Kratom strains are known for producing mental stimulation, mood enhancement, and relaxation, Super Green Malay offers all these effects in one.
This is thanks to its its unique alkaloid blend as it contains moderate quantities of various alkaloids like mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine.
However, its mental stimulating capabilities are higher than other strains which is what makes it an ideal choice to maximize productivity, concentration and hard work.
Find Your Sweet Spot
It’s importantly to use Kratom wisely to get the most out of it.
This is why at the start it’s best to take smaller doses. For most people, 2 grams is enough to feel the effects. So it’s a good idea to start with this dosage and gradually increase it from there to find what works best for you.
Depending on the strain, the effects can last from 4 to 6 hours, so you may want to take two doses in a day. Just be sure to drink enough fluids and eat well as Kratom isn’t a substitute for a healthy diet.
If you take Kratom more than three times a week, to get the most out of it, you can cycle strains. Otherwise you’ll develop a tolerance and will need to consume more to have the same effect.
Done right, Kratom can be a great boost to your productivity and creativity and help your career grow. The three strains I’ve mentioned above are a great way to start.
