Nootropic substances are a relatively new field of interest which shows much promise. Interestingly, some have reported good results by using kratom as a nootropic in areas such as focus, motivation and memory.
Unlike traditional medications for focus (e.g. ADHD medication), the subjective experience of kratom for many is that it doesn’t make your focus “stick” psychologically, rather it seems to dampen psychological background noise resulting from stress, anxiety or excessive excitement/restlessness, promoting natural focus ability. In this way it tends to lend itself to a more meditative quality of focus.
Because strain differences can vary, there is typically no set dose for peak cognition boosting effects — though it typically ranges from low/medium to medium.
Strains
- Green Malaysian (Focus)
- Thai (Focus/Energy)
- Maeng Da (Focus/Energy)
Preferred Vein Color
- White
- Green
Dosage
- Low – Moderate
If you choose to try a green vein strain, we would suggest a more stimulating variety, such as those mentioned above, at a low dosage, as large doses can sometimes be counterproductive.
