What Are Kratom Fusions and How Do You Use Them?

Do you already enjoy the many benefits of kratom? Or are you new to this plant product used for centuries to improve quality of life?

In any case, the rise of kratom’s popularity among Western nations has paved the way for new and interesting products, including Kratom Fusions.

Available in both powder and capsule form, kratom fusions are making quite a buzz (literally). In this guide, we answer all of your most pressing questions regarding kratom fusions, including what they are, how to use them, and even how to make your own.

What Are Kratom Fusions?

As the name suggests, a kratom fusion is a ‘fusion’ or rather combination of several different kratom strains into one powder. Kratom fusions may contain anywhere from one to ten or more varieties of kratom, incorporating veins such as green maeng da, red hulu, and white elephant.

Each vein and variety will vary in the fusion, with a virtually endless amount of customization that can be done to enhance or tailor the experience. For veteran kratom users, kratom fusions offer a new and unique way to explore kratom’s various effects, synergies between veins, and personalizing the experience to elevate health and wellness.

What Are the Benefits of Kratom Fusions?

The Entourage Effect

This concept, more frequently applied to cannabinoids in cannabis, is now being explored with kratom. We are on the forefront of discovery, with new and emerging research revealing information that will be instrumental in how we can use kratom for specific purposes.

According to Dr. Oiliver Grundmann, a leading kratom researcher, and Dr. Hamilton Morris, a renowned scientist and journalist, some kratom alkaloids may alter the metabolism of other kratom alkaloids, offering a synergistic effect known as the ‘kratom entourage effect’.

Although Mitragynine and 7-OH-Mitragynine are the two most prevalent alkaloids found in kratom, they are not the only players in the game…not by a long shot. To date, more than 40 unique alkaloids have been identified. Yet, we have very little understanding of how these alkaloids are metabolized, interact with each other, and the potential synergistic effects they may have when combined in varying concentrations and doses.

A Breakthrough Study Lays the Foundation for Better Understanding

Recently, an analytical chemistry study published in the Journal of Natural Products (J. Nat. Prod. 2021, 84, 4, 1104–1112 Publication Date: February 23, 202) looked at the pharmacodynamics of 11 of the most prominent alkaloids in kratom. This first of its kind study has now laid the groundwork for further research and a better understanding of how kratom’s alkaloids work to produce the desired effects consumers know and love.

For those interested in Kratom Fusions, the results of this study yield key insights into how various alkaloids in kratom’s many varieties and several veins may interact and even produce interesting synergies that can be exploited for recreation or health.

What Are the Best Vein Combinations for Kratom Fusions?

A Quick Recap of Kratom Veins: how each may affect a fusion

Although each vein has a multitude of varieties with interesting and differing effects, understanding the main strains is your first step towards identifying or making a kratom fusion that would best fit your needs.

Red Vein: Heralded for its potency, sedative and relaxing effects. Ideal for lounging around, after a long stressful day at work, or before bed.

White Vein: Known for its energizing and uplifting effects, white vein kratom is often used as a morning or afternoon ‘pick me up’, or to keep motivated and focused during a long day of work.

Green Vein: Considered to elicit a hybrid effect, green vein kratom uniquely blends the effects of red and white kratom, offering an experience often preferred for social occasions.

The Best Kratom Strains to Mix in Fusions

Best is a bit subjective here. Fact is, kratom fusions can be so diverse that it might take some time to find an already-made product or your own made-at-home blend that perfectly fits your needs.

That said, we have a few suggestions that other kratom users find beneficial…and you may too.

1. Red and White Vein Fusions

This combination has been likened to the effects of green vein kratom, combining the effects of uplifting energy and motivation with a deep relaxation and unburdening of stress. Unlike green vein kratom, the addition of red makes this fusion much more potent.

2. Red and Green Vein Fusions

This combination is preferred by those who love the effects of red vein kratom, but who find it makes them a little TOO lethargic. The addition of green vein kratom mellows out the sedative effect of the red, while still producing a very mellow but not overly sleepy experience.

3. Green and White Kratom Fusions

For some, the uplifting and energizing effects of white kratom can be a bit too stimulating. Conversely, anything with red seems to be too sedating. A green and white vein fusion might just hit the mark, with the green countering and mellowing out the white’s stimulant-like activity while still keeping you alert, focused and motivated.

How to Make Your Own Kratom Fusions

1. Select the Desired Vein and Variety

2. Carefully Measure Out Doses in the Desired Ratios

3. Mix in a large bowl with a whisk or fork

4. Enjoy responsibly

Kratom Fusions: Final Thoughts

Kratom fusions represent a new take on a century’s old classic. These blends empower consumers to customize, fine-tune and tailor their experience with kratom based on their needs, while potentially leveraging synergistic effects of various alkaloid combinations.
