CBD comes in many forms, including oils, extracts, capsules, patches, vapes, and tropical preparations for use on skin. If you're hoping to reduce inflamation and relieve muscle and joint pain, a topical CBD - infused oil, lotion or cream - or even a bath bomb - may be the best option. Alternative, a CBD patch or a tincture or spray designed to be placed under the tounge allows CBD to directly enter the bloodstream.

Kratom is scientifically known as Mitragyna Speciosa. It comes from the same family as coffe or the Rubiaceae family. This evergreen tree grows in different regions all accross Southeast Asia. There are more than 40 compounds present in Kratom, concentrated mainly in the leaves. However, the main compounds are alkaloids, including Mitragynine, which is a potent stimulant. Mitragynine works by binding to the opioid receptors of the body where it produces an analgesic and sedative effect. It signals G protein instead of B-arrestin, lowering the chances of experiencing tolerance or respiratory depression, as with other opioids.
