what is liquid kratom

Liquid kratom is a form of kratom extract that is combined with additives. Kratom is an herbal extract that comes from the leaves of an evergreen tree grown in Southeast Asia. Kratom leaves can be chewed, and dry kratom can be swallowed or brewed. Kratom extract can be used to make a liquid product, which is often marketed as a treatment for muscle pain, to suppress appetite, and to stop cramps and diarrhea. Kratom is believed to act on opioid receptors, and at low doses, it acts as a stimulant, making users feel more energetic. At higher doses, it reduces pain and may bring on euphoria. At very high doses, it acts as a sedative, making users quiet and perhaps sleepy. Kratom is also sold as a treatment for panic attacks, and some people take kratom to avoid the symptoms of opioid withdrawal and because kratom may be bought more easily than prescription drugs. However, studies on the effects of kratom have identified many safety concerns and no clear benefits. The US FDA has warned consumers to avoid using products containing kratom, and kratom is banned in some states and countries due to serious safety concerns.
