Age

Older people take more time to eradicate Kratom from the system and have a long half-life than when taken by youthful individuals. Physical changes in the body with age, a slowdown of kidney function, and interactions with medicines used for other illnesses cause Kratom to stay in the system for a more extended period.

Body Mass Index (BMI)

Mitragynine is a highly fat-soluble component of kakum, and it dissolves in fat cells of the body. People who have more fat proportion in the body retain ketum for long periods. Lean people have low fat, thus excreting Kratom at a high rate comparatively.

Genetics

Some hereditary markers and natural enzymes in the body speed up the elimination of Kratom from your body. These natural enzymes vary from one person to another; thus, everyone has a different half-life. 

Dietary choices

Hydration influences the stay of Kratom in the system, speeding up its excretion with urine. Fatty meals lead to the absorption of more Kratom and slow down speciosa excretion from the body.
