Maeng Da Kratom
As a high potency strain, Maeng Da delivers a punch.
It brings many of the pain relieving qualities expected of Kratom, but with a much bigger stimulating boost. However, unlike other stimulants, the energy boost doesn’t come with any jittery, unfocused side effects.
MAENG DA EFFECTS
The details
Maeng Da was specifically created as a high potency red kratom strain in the humidity and heat of Indonesia. Similar to Bali Kratom, Maeng Da blends pain relief and energy into one. However, in order to beat the heat in Indonesia, this strain was made to provide a bigger kick in energy than Bali.
the difference
Because of it’s specifically bred for alkaloid properties, Maeng Da takes the normal pain relieving properties of a red strain and adds a nice energetic kick that some reds lack.
the science
Maeng Da Kratom was created using a technique called grafting, where tissues of different plants are joined together to breed different qualities of each plant into a new strain. In an effort to create a strain which maintains pain relief while mitigating sedative effects so it could be used during work in Indonesia, Maeng Da was born.
I just started yesterday after a long venture of fentenyl pills, $100 min a day habit and oxy 160mg a day prescribed. My dr just retired without giving any of his clients a decent heads up. Just went in and was handed a paper saying he was retiring and we needed to find an alternative pain management dr. After almost 4 years of seeing this particular dr. I just want to get off everything so badly. So my mom bought me some meang da and white elegant for anxiety. I mixed 1 tsp of each yesterday 3 times. I was a Lil sceptical at 1st until I got home around 3p and I laid down and I fell asleep hard until like 830p. I was like shit I’m not gonna sleep at all during the night. But actually, I’ve kept a glass of kratom on my nightstand and anytime during the night I felt those leg cramps or needs to stretch, I just drank a gulp of kratom and voila, everything went away!! I can’t believe the effects it has and how quickly it helps!!! I think I found a way out of this ridiculous lifestyle I’ve been living for so long. Good luck everyone!
Relatively new to kratom, but I’m a true believer! I have Crohns disease, migraines, arthritis and cluster headaches. I’ve used narcotics, and I hate them. I currently get botox injections for migraines and am on Entyvio for Crohns. I use cannabis regularly and in several forms it is also a great complimentary therapy! I have used Bali, and Maeng da strains of kratom. Bali I had to use lower dose, probably 3.5 gm. Maeng Da I use between 5 and 9 gm depending on my daily needs ie energy or pain relief. I have taken capsules which is tedious because they come in 500mg doses (lot of pills to take), and powder 1tbs= approx 2.5gm. The powder is gross but it can be done and it has immediate effects. Good luck to everyone and blessings!
Here’s a way to make it less gross: Get Vanilla Chai tea bags (you can also try other flavors like spiced apple chai) and some lemon juice from your grocery store. Make 16 oz of tea (one teabag will do). Let it cool off slightly. Add 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice and your kratom to the tea. Stir with a wisk until the kratom is thoroughly mixed in. Get a large glass filled with ice. Pour the tea over the ice. Add cream / half and half or milk and sugar to taste(Try to use an erythritol based sugar like Swerve or Splenda Naturals, as they have low glycemic impact and taste most like regular sugar . Stevia is the same way but a little more bitter) . If you have a dairy problem, you can use almond milk, or skip it all together and just use a sweetener. Quite delicious. You can also substitute the Chai tea with coffee of your choosing.
my bf is getting of methadone cold Turkey. if anyone has ever been on methadone you know how horrible the wds are…anyhow, he feels these are helping. I personally notice a small increase in alertness. nothing mind blowing yet, but im experimenting with dosage. I could also be one of the lucky few who doesn’t feel much affect from kratom. lol.
I feel your boyfriends pain. I was hooked on 30mg oxycodone for 10 years. I have tried to quit cold turkey several times and found it was dam near impossible. Kratom is the only thing that has worked for me. In the morning I take 3gm of the green Maeng Da (for energy boost, anti diarrhea, and overall good mood) in the PM I take 3-5g of the red vein Bali. Every one is different how they respond but just thought I’d share my experience. Hope everything works out. Good luck and tell him to hang in there. Everything gets better with time.
Great to hear, I was up to 125-150 mg Oxy after few yrs, I havekicked and Kratom has been a saving grace!
I’ve never tried. I’m considering. Any suggestions. I’ve got the Maeng Da powder. Just haven’t done it yet.
I am completely new to this and was enlightened by the Netflix documentary “A Leaf of Faith”. I watched this documentary 9/9/18 a few days ago while in sever neck and shoulder pain causing migraines from hell. I had neck and back surgery replacing discs and have been in constant pain ever since. Desperate and at a breaking point with this pain. Drove to the nearest store and picked up 30 capsules of Maeng Da Kratom and took one right away. 30 min later pain decrease of about 70% and no headache. I can’t believe it!! i called my wife ( out of town ) and was telling her my miracle find. Recommend watching A Leaf of Faith and go from there. It works for me in such a short time and feel like a human again.
I used Kratom (several strains) to come off Cymbalta, Neurontin, Ambien, Klonopin, Xanax, Valium, Vistril, and Zoloft. I use 3 grams in a tea every evening with CBD oil twice a day. No withdrawls (Coming off Cymbalta was hell!) and I feel like myself again! Life saver for sure!
Have you tried kratom kaps maeng da? I’m going thru the same thing
Have you tried kratom kaps Maeng da 22.5 gram capsules? I’m going thru the same thing with Xanax.
I dont think the capsules u r talking about would b 22.5 G- that is the entire bottle most likely has 50 caps in it
They are 750 milligram capsules so 4 capsules is same as 3 grams. Maeng DA is fantastic
I been using different strains of Kratom for chronic pain and Methadone withdrawals. My experience has been that the white strains are for mostly energy with some pain relief and mood elevation. The greens are more mood elevation and pain relief while the reds are more sedating with pain relief. Red Maeng Da is an exception to the rule. Because it is a high breed strain it is very stimulating and provides the most pain relief for me. I take 3-5 grams of Kratom (different strains based on need) every 4-6 hours and stop taking the stimulating strains around 4pm so I can get to sleep between 10 and 11pm. Some of the other red strains can be used as a sleep aid. Everyone has a different tolerance so start out with 2 grams and work your way up as needed for the desired result. I limit myself to no more than 18 grams per day.
Hope this helps.
Thank you helps alot. New years trying to figure out what exactly my needs arw.
Mike thanks so much for your comment! Out of all the comments here, yours helped me the most!!
I am just trying it for the first time i got a bottle of Maeng Da to try out. I do currently have a 25mcg fentanyl patch, and take Celebrex for inflammation but it’s just not helping enough. Does anyone know about kratom interacting with prescription meds?
DO NOT mix Rx meds with Kratom!!!!
New to this. I ordered extract and some powder. I can’t wait to try, I’m expecting great things. I had back surgery >6yrs ago and continue to have chronic lb and hip pain. Want to get off opiates so badly. Use Fentanyl patch 25mcg and take 30mg oxy. They just don’t work anymore. I’ve tried cutting back, but the SE’s are brutal. My order should be here Sat. Wish me luck and any dosing advise would really be appreciated. Also wondering if Kranker Kratom is an honest reputable place to buy from. Any other suggestions of where and what strain to buy is so helpful to me. Thank you..
Hi! I myself have been on opiates and have had great relief with this! Lemme know how u do!
Hello.
I was involved in a car accident and was prescribed perks. I am at the point where I take a 30mg or 2 of them. I want to get off these perks and I heard this stuff helps. Any suggestions on dosage and how to take it ? Please I’m desperate * I want to save my life !!
Hope you are succeeding with this path of your life. I am an example of someone who was in your boat and switched to Bali Kratom, vitamin B and a gallon of water a day. RLS meds for the first week. It works!!!! This with other changed habits will work and you can do it.
I am experimenting with other strains of kratom to see what it does but I think that’s just the addict in me 🙂 tho I do enjoy the effects. Just remember water water water. And more water.
I’m gonna stop commenting and helping no one answers my comments or takes me seriously. I hate you all goodbye
My comment below was meant for you but I think it got scrambled in with some others.
Please scroll down till you see one from Curt Manners. I’ve spent a bunch of time studying this stuff and it might be what you need, but don’t cross addict yourself.
If you have any more questions I’ll be happy to help.
I just bought “KRATOM Korner” Maeng Da capsules it says serving size: 1 capsule 0.5g. I curenntly take 30mg of Oxycodone 3 x’s a day. How many capsules of KRATOM would equal a 30mg of oxycodone? Can someone please tell me, I don’t want to take too much.
About 5 im personally coming off heroin so it works n good luck
Need something to help me thru between scripts. My old pain management doc retired and the new one wants to do spinal injections at $10,000 each. I’ve tried these and they didn’t work. The guy is all about money. I have to see him every month when my last doc I saw every 3 months. I’m been on pain meds for 20 years and have only walked up to 10mg Vics 6 a day. He’s cut me back to 4 a day. That’s great if I didn’t work 12 hour shifts.
I have to find something that helps with pain and makes opiate withdraw tolerable. The way it is now by day 2 without opiates I’m down hard, diareah, shakes, cold sweats, all around just like shit. I can’t function for 2-3 days while I’m like this. Hypersensitivity to pain especially my legs, OMG my legs are on fire at night. They won’t settle down I won’t sleep at all.
My last doc understood he had back surgery and my MRI on my spine made him ask how I was able to function on just Vicodin. He was surprised I hadn’t been asking for something more potent. I don’t want anything more potent. This new doc wants to put me on Oxycotin because the DEA is pushing to reduce the number of pills they prescribe. Been on them I turn into a soulless, heartless asshole. Constantly pissed off my reactions are disproportionate to whatever happens, I explode in rage.
Need recommendation on what would fit my situation best. Would prefer no sedation side effects during the day but definitely for the night, if one type can do both if not main goal is pain relief and opiate withdraw mitigation. Thanks ahead of time.
I am so sorry the doctors can’t seem to find out what works best for you. I hope all is better now.
Brad, i have been taking Maeng Da mostly for over a year and 6 months. I am 67 with spinal stenious, severe degenerative disease, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, neuropathy jn all extremities. I had a serious opiate problem as well. I take two heaping teaspoons every 2 to 3 hours. I get pain relieaf, alertness, energy and can work long shifts. I never get high. I do feel good.
This exactly like me. I take 3 tsp of red Bali, I was amazed at how well it worked. No more narcotics.
Thanks Randy- I think your advice is a good fit for me. It’s almost another year passed, curious if your advice and dosage still stands…
I been taking and trying different strains of kratom….my daughter told me to start with the Red maeng da and i really loved it and it gave me so much energy and helped with my pain, then I also tried, the green maeng da I don’t like it as much it doesn’t seem to be as strong of a strain…today I am trying gold and I have white maeng da on order I also have tried bali which I found it to give me headaches which I suffer enough from I even lowered doses and tried different things….the green maeng da is good for anxiety and depression but once it wears off it hit me hard with a bad case of anxiety….I didn’t like that….I will probably go back to the red maeng da but I want to try the white because it is good for RA and also pain…and I have fibromyalgia and RA and alot of back pain…it has helped me alot and my g/f is going thru stage 4 lung cancer so with me having to be her caregiver and take her to and from appt. I have to be active and i don’t always feel it this helps me and i rather take this then opiods…I also have gone thru a few days w/o it and the withdrawls are not that bad not like I go thru with opiods….I am glad that my daughter put me onto kratom.
Hello Melody,
Maybe a dumb question?
But when you say RA do you mean rheumatoid arthritis?
Thanks!!
I bought Maemg Da powder, 7oz. I’m 69 and have DDD/ DID. Hip knee replaced back surgeries I’m in constant pain. How much do I need to take? Using 2 tablespoons in small smoothie. Seems to me too much
Every strain is very different, as is the same strains from different batches. It’s best to start out small with each new strain to see how your body reacts. Some strains I can take 10 grams, others I can only take 3-4
I have Lyme and usually only do 1 tsp green Maeng Da with OJ. After 4-5 hrs I sometimes do another tsp. Everyone is different, every strain is different. It’s all about what works for you.
I’m 50 and was taking suboxone for 7 years. Tried to quit but withdrawals were BRUTAL. Started taking Green Maeng Da, because of it’s high alkoloid content. Stopped taking the suboxone, and started taking 10g (1 heaping tbsp) every 6 hours at first. Never went thru withdrawals while on the Kratom. Take red Maeng Da at night to sleep. Hope this helps.
Hey there. Saw your post on trying to get off suboxone with Kratom. Has it helped and still working? I’m in your same boat any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Jon
Hello. I’m coming off heroin and p ercs. A friend suggested info kratom although I just started 2 heaping teaspoons. Every 6 hrs so far so good. Should I adjust the dosage?
Hey I appreciated your post and I know it’s been awhile since you posted it however how are you now? Still off the suboxone? I am wondering what the dosage would be in the jumbo capsules for someone wanting to do as you did. How many would a person start with?
Thank you.
I take 4 capsules every 6 hours to not have withdrawal from morphine and oxytocin.
What strain is good for muscle spasms, bel palsy and low energy
What strain is good for muscle spasms, bel palsy and low energy
Hi Linda, I have DDD & DDD boobs = CONSTANT BACK PAIN. I put 5-9 TEASPOONS in a gallon of orange juice and keep it at the ready. Be sure to shake very well. However, if you are diabetic you might try making tea. I just read up on it and am going to try it. I will make a gallon of tea, and do it just like I do the oj. As we know, oj is full of sugar. If you’re trying to lose weight, drinking oj is like drinking a coke = empty calories – no good.
BTW, FOLKS: if you make it a gallon at a time, the longer it sits the better. The “green” taste totally goes away. It doesn’t taste bad at all. And you can make a higher concentration and pour it into your glass with a little more oj.
I drink about 4 oz at a time about 4 times a day until about 4p. I’m able to function all day.
I then take a couple of hits of CBD oil from an e-pen. I cut off kratom @ 4: because I don’t want to be awake all night.
Actually function at a semi normal rate. I still have to keep in mind that I have to be careful not to overdo it. I’m 58. At our age, we don’t need to be taking grams at a time. This, I think, is the only perk of the metabolism slowing down.
I noticed that if I take more, I get the narcotic drowsiness, blech. So I keep it about 4 oz at a time. Keep your height and weight in mind as well. I’m 5’1 and 169 lb.s Now you have a better idea of why the way I do it is a good dose for me.
I want to try some but EVERY website I go to wants me to order $50 or more in order to use COD or debit card payment. This has been the most frustrating time trying to order it!!! 😢😢 I have taken myself off pain pills after being on them for 14 years. Does ANYONE know where I can buy some online without the $50 min?? Thank you xo
Where do you live.. just look up kava bars or smoke shops near you and call them.. ask if they sell kratom thos way you dont get scammed online and you dont have to spend 50
Any smoke shop,usually. I bought 80 caps for $19.00.
Carol Williams where was this that u bought it from? I’ve never of 80 caps for $19…….that’s awesome
South Sioux City Nebraska sells Bali in gas stations for $20 and they work well
I live in CT, just paid $39.99 for Mang da Red, 100 capsules, 50 grams. Bought them at a vape shop.
Was told they might help me with relief from drug cravings. Seems to be helping, although it could all just be in my head lol.
Check your smoke shops
are you near 60430 zip code
I’d hate to have to feed that monkey you got, but if you’re serious, study the strain types on this site.
To kick Hydro after a 3 year run, I went to the head shop and got those big tabs that are 900 mgs. 1000 mgs. is a gram, for reference.
I took one at a time so I could test the FX a little at a time, finally settling on two to get the edge off each morning. One later in the day.
Don’t guzzle a bunch of coffee and eat this on an empty stomach, have a cookie or something before and then be sure you’re hydrated with water.
I’m a real hard sell on holistic crap and they don’t make the drug that can kill me, but kratom did actually keep my mind off that Vicodin for long enough to stop that $6 a pop nonsense for Vickies.
The Red Bali is said to be most akin to the feeling you and I are needing, but I’ve got all different kinds, for sedation/stimulation.
I ain’t gonna lie to you, I still like that feeling of well being, and I use high grade bud along with Kratom to stay off of anything else and I mean anything. No booze, cigs, or Peruvian marching powder.
Get you one of those el cheapo capsule makers off Amazon, some 00 empty capsules, a 50 gram bag of Red Bali and set up shop.
Those caps hold right at .6 gram packed good and tight.
Good luck Pal, you’re gonna need it.
I ordered from Sacred Kratom and got a few ounces of several different strains for less then $15 each. I also found a local “head shop” that sold it by the ounce.
Sacred Kratom is my favorite so far. I’m new to it & have tried 3 vendors. SK Red Bali is great for pain & opioid withdrawal symptoms. I haven’t seen them mentioned often & it seems they should be. I also tried their white Maeng Da. I’ve yet to find the right strain for my fatigue but the MD is still helpful.
I got some from a tabaco shop in Jacksonville il for $20
I use 2 teaspoons and that works for me.A few times I have had to take more but I always start off with the 2 teaspoons not tablespoons I hope this helps
What city and state are you in cause I’m in Ocala Florida for now( horrible place) but I go to any gas station and get Kratom- it’s hit or miss on quality) but maybe somewhere close to u sells it?
