How Does Maeng Da Kratom Works For Pain Management?

Maeng Da Kratom has been the most crucial Kratom strain for the management of pain. Many people who suffer from chronic pain usually take this strain of Kratom, but they aren’t aware of proper dosing or how to take it. The reason being the FDA hasn’t approved it yet for pain management, so there is no appropriate guideline available.

However, in this article, we will delve more into the working mechanism of Maeng Da as an analgesic substance, its dosage, its side effects, and how to take it.

Maeng Da Kratom and pain management

We are already aware that Maeng Da Kratom is one of the many strains of Kratom that is famous for its analgesic and stimulation properties. The many different alkaloids present in Maeng Da are responsible for its analgesic properties. Let’s have a look at these alkaloids and how they act on various receptors to alleviate pain;

• Mitragynine: It has the main activity on the μ receptors in the brain that promotes analgesia. However, it is the same receptor that may cause physical dependence, so you need to avoid overdoing it.
• 7-Hydroxymitragyine: This alkaloid is present in abundance in the Maeng Da strain, and it has a potency 13 times greater than morphine and 46 times greater than Mitragynine. It has quick-acting characteristics and is responsible for antinociceptive action, which deactivates the signals from nociceptors (nerve endings in the body that detect pain). This alkaloid has better penetration through the blood-brain barrier, thus greater bioavailability. 

These two alkaloids are also known for activating noradrenergic and serotonergic pathways down the spinal cord, thus adding up to the analgesic effect.

However, bear in mind that none of these findings were concluded on human clinical based studies. All these results were brought forward after research was done on animals.

What is the dosage of Maeng Da for pain management?

Scientific research says that Maeng Da Kratom or any other strain of Kratom if taken in low to moderate doses, around 1-5 grams produce a mild stimulant effect that is pleasant and not as intense as the effects produced by amphetamine-like drugs. At this dosage, you will typically also start feeling the analgesic effects.

Users review that they like the stimulant effects associated with painkilling effects more than the sedative effects which occur when one takes massive doses, i.e., 10-15 grams of Kratom. Some users report that at very high doses of Maeng Da Kratom, they start feeling an unpleasant sense of anxiety and internal agitation. Higher doses also produce euphoric effects.

Reports from Kratom users suggest that a moderate dose of Maeng Da Kratom is enough to produce analgesia, and this is somewhere between 5-15 grams of raw leaves. For Maeng Da Kratom Powder, a dose of 7-8 grams is enough to produce analgesia.

However, I recommend that you take small doses initially to identify your sweet spot. Do not increase your dose immediately; do it gradually. Be patient; you will get your desired effects.

How to take Maeng Da Kratom for pain?

Maeng Da Kratom can be taken in many forms such as;

• Capsules
• Powder
• Extract
• Tincture

These are the different forms of Maeng Da Kratom available in the market. You can take any of these Maeng Da types. The extract and tincture form is more robust and concentrated versions of the strain, so with them, you need to be cautious about the dosing.

The capsules can be taken quickly. Depending on the dose that you are taking for your pain management, choose the right amount before a meal. This way, the absorption of Kratom is not delayed. If you are taking it in the powder form that you can be a little creative. Add the Maeng Da Powder to your morning coffee or take it with a milkshake to get rid of the bitter taste.

Avoid taking large doses, as it might sedate you. Also, do not take one strain of Kratom for long periods. Keep changing the strain and do not consume it daily.

If you would like to potentiate the effects of Maeng Da Kratom, you can take it with grapefruit juice. Please do not take it with any drugs and stimulants or other painkillers.

User reviews of Maeng Da for pain

I recently got this review of Maeng Da Kratom in my inbox, which I found worth sharing.

“It’s been almost a year now, that I am at peace, I am happier. I got into a car accident three years back that badly deformed my spine and underwent six surgeries in 2 years. I know the struggle of waking up every day not able to walk, and as the day passed, feeling that excruciating pain is searing across your spine, suffocating you, not letting you even breathe. Morphine ran in my veins as I struggled to keep my pieces together, till I couldn’t. I gave up. The surgeries helped me enough that I restored my toe movements only. And now that I knew I had to live without being able to walk ever, I wanted a pain-free life. And luckily, in those desperate moments of searching and scrolling on the internet for hours, I came across your Kratom website. I had tried everything, even had Morphine addiction, wanted to give it a try knowing I had nothing else to lose. I placed my order and got it two days later. It was a year back on this very day I started my Kratom journey for the management of my pain, and here I am a survivor, and not just that, a happy survivor, who manages her day, who doesn’t cry anymore, who is putting an effort to collect her pieces again. Thank you, Kratom!”
