Similarities of Coffee & Kratom:

Different alkaloids effect on the body:
The main alkaloid in coffee is caffeine! Caffeine is a natural stimulant that can boost memory in the morning, speed up bowel motility, and has been associated with a lowered risk for several types of cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease.
Kratom is believed to have over 40 alkaloids, of which the most abundant are mitragynine, speciogynine, and speciociliatine. 7-hydroxymitragynine comprises only 2% of the plant but appears to be the most influential in terms of the plant’s characteristics. While caffeine is present in many different plants, mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine are only found in the Mitragyna speciosa plant.
