Kratom Pharmacology
🌿 Kratom Pharmacology: Understanding the Alkaloid Power
At 7evn, we believe in more than just hype—we believe in understanding the science behind kratom. This guide dives deep into how kratom’s primary alkaloids, mitragynine, interact with your body.
1. The Kratom Alkaloid System: Nature’s Own Network
While humans don’t have an “alkalinoid system” like the endocannabinoid system, kratom’s alkaloids target opioid and adrenergic receptors—key regulators of pain, mood, energy, and stress.
2. How Alkaloids Influence You
These effects are dose-dependent and influenced by formulations, strains, and your biology:
| Alkaloid |
Receptors Targeted |
Effects |
| Mitragynine |
μ‑Opioid (partial), α2‑adrenergic, 5‑HT2A |
Energy, mood lift, mild comfort |

Our lab-tested products include full alkaloid breakdowns, so you always know what you're taking.
3. Other Alkaloids & Co‑Compounds: The Synergy Effect
Every kratom strain contains a range of minor alkaloids (like speciociliatine, paynantheine, speciogynine) plus plant phytonutrients. Though not as potent alone, they modify the overall effect—creating a plant-based synergy similar to a botanical entourage.
4. Bioavailability & Delivery Methods
How you take kratom affects onset, intensity, and duration:
-
Powder (oral ingestion): effects typically start in 15–30 minutes, peak around 1–2 hours, and sustain for 4–6 hours.
-
Capsules: similar timing but more discreet.
5. Metabolism & Duration
Kratom alkaloids are processed by liver enzymes, mainly CYP2D6 and CYP3A4, and then distributed through the body:
-
Alkaloids are fat-soluble—so effects last longer in individuals with higher body fat.
-
Elimination half-life varies from 3 to 9 hours depending on dose, formulation, and user metabolism.
-
Effects and side-effect profiles may differ over time with consistent use.
6. Genetics, Receptors & Tolerance
Your experience depends on:
-
Metabolic enzymes (CYP variants): fast metabolizers may experience quicker, shorter effects.
-
Receptor expression: individual opioid and adrenergic receptor profiles shape response.
-
Tolerance: repetitive receptor stimulation can reduce sensitivity—rotating strains or taking breaks helps preserve effectiveness.
7. Combining Formats: Optimizing Experience
Just like cannabis has THC/CBD synergy, kratom’s range of alkaloids can be paired for tailored effects:
-
Powder offers a full-spectrum experience—nutritive, variable duration.
-
Capsules provide convenience and precise dosing.
8. Safety, Interactions & Side Effects
7evn ensures purity and consistency—but caution is key:
-
Alkaloids can interact with medications processed by CYP2D6/3A4.
-
Tolerance or mild dependence can form with frequent high dosing.
-
Common side effects: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth—often reduced by dose control and hydration.
We strongly recommend consulting a healthcare provider before combining kratom with other medications.
