Choosing the correct kratom capsule dosage is key to achieving your desired effects, whether you seek energy, relaxation, or mood enhancement. Each capsule typically contains about 500 mg (0.5 grams) of powdered kratom leaf, making it easy to calculate your intake-two capsules equal roughly one gram.
Experts recommend starting with a low dose, especially for beginners: 1–3 grams (2–6 capsules) is ideal for increased energy and mild mood enhancement. Moderate doses of 3–5 grams (6–10 capsules) provide balanced relaxation and tension relief, while higher doses of 5–7 grams (10–14 capsules) are best reserved for experienced users seeking deeper relaxation.
Factors such as your personal goals, strain selection, body weight, and tolerance all influence the optimal dosage. To minimize side effects and prevent tolerance, always start low and increase gradually, taking regular breaks. For a detailed guide, see the original article at the San Francisco Examiner.
