Kratom Resin Extracts
In comparison to water-based extractions, kratom resin extractions have a much more well-rounded profile of effects. These extracts are typically performed by extracting kratom with both a polar solvent and a non-polar solvent; a simple example of this would be water and ethanol. Like the water extract, the powder is strained and the alkaloid saturated non-polar/polar solvent is left to dry.
Pros:
- Full-spectrum of effects
- Ease of use
- Easy storage
- High potency per weight
Cons:
- More expensive than plain leaf
- Side-effects to potency ratio comparable to plain leaf
- Temperature sensitive (melts in minor heat)
