Can what you eat effect Kratom?

Can Diet Affect Your Session?

Simple answer? Yes.

They say "you are what you eat", but in this case, what you eat can
affect your "sniffer" when it comes to this plant. Of course, everyone
is different, so these are more guidelines than anything else. Always
make sure that you keep a well balanced diet and seek medical advice
before engaging in any kind of aromatherapy (either with this plant or
any other incense.)
                                                                                                                          
- Your first burn of the day is your most vital. If you want to see
how a particular strain or blend effects you, the absolute best time
to do this is in the morning after a good night's rest. Several even
swear on burning on an empty stomach and then eating a light meal when
the smoke starts to fill the room. My personal experiences mirror
these sentiments. My burner works best in the morning and right before
breakfast.

- Stay away from carbs or seafood right before a burn. It has been
noted from several customers that Fish Oil (either the supplement or
from the actual fish itself) has a profound effect on the length and
strength of a burn. Since I usually wait 2 hours after I take my
vitamins (with a light lunch), I can't say definitively whether or not
this had made my sessions suffer. The carbs, however, is another
matter. Bread, pasta, potatoes, and even carrots, will have a
substantial effect on my sessions. If I am going to consume a meal
that is heavily laden with carbs, I usually put off a burn for several
hours (or the next day if its dinner.) If you find that your sniffer
just can't seem to get a trace of smoke or if you find that your burns
aren't consistent, you might want to consider keeping a journal and
marking down the time of your burns as well as anything you've eaten
during the course of the day. If you find a pattern, you know what to
tweak in your diet in order to maximize the benefits of your session.
Many connoisseurs keep a journal and recommend this practice to
beginners.

If you have sugar issues and you need to eat small meals throughout
the day to keep your sugar balanced, it has been recommended that you
burn two hours after consuming anything. These recommendations come
from past customers.

- Be careful on the foods you do consume. Some of them are
potentiators and can intensify a session. I won't go into all of them.
The research is out there for anyone who is curious enough to read
about it. I will say that grapefruit has long been known to be a
potentiator for several things, and not just Kratom. Several
prescribed medications have warned against the consumption of
grapefruit because of what it does. Please make sure you talk to your
doctor (if you are on medication) about the foods and vitamins that
you should avoid. Your pharmacist should also have the answers you
seek regarding food and medication.

- Dairy will stop a current session in its tracks! If you find that
you are having an adverse reaction to a particular strain or blend and
need to clear out your burner before engaging in another session,
anything dairy should do the trick. Yogurt, cheese, milk, even ice
cream will kill your session. However, if you choose this method, it
has been recommended (by several customers) to wait two hours before
starting another session.
