Now, we will slowly get to the main topic standardized kratom extract. For your information, kratom leaves does not contain only one type of alkaloids and components. There are mitragynine, 7-hydroxymitragynine, and mitraphylline as well as cellulose, wax, and other resins and plant chemicals. The most necessary alkaloid needed to achieve stimulating and sedating effects is 7-hydroxymitragynine and mitragynine. But because extraction means that the plant part was only crushed and reduced into simpler forms, a lot of other materials can be found in it. In other words, full effects cannot be obtained.

In order to obtain, for example, pure stimulating and sedating effects of the strain “Maeng Da kratom”, we need to get only pure mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine. That’s where standardized extraction method is employed. With this method involving meticulous selectionand removal of different items, standardized Kratom seeds extracts are produced. They contain only 100% alkaloid such as mitragynine or 7-hydroxymitragynine or both. But almost 85% of standardized kratom extracts sold in the market contains pure mitragynine. It is because mitragynine is believed to be the most active component of kratom that is responsible for the stimulating and sedating effects. Therefore, a standardized extract is more potent, more efficient and more powerful if compared to normal kratom extracts.
