Red Borneo is an excellent kratom strain for muscular pain relief. Its high alkaloid level, 7-hydroximitragynine, produces potent analgesic and relaxation effects. I suggest Red Borneo for people who don’t want a beginner strain or as potent as Red Maeng Da, as that can be overwhelming. It’s a relaxing strain but not as sedative as Red Bali.
If you’re looking for a natural, effective way to treat your chronic pain, look no further. Red Borneo Kratom is used for its pain relief benefits by thousands of people around the world. I understand how confusing it may be to get started with Kratom. There are various forms of consumption, and the dosage size will directly affect the strength of the pain relief.
However, there is no need to panic. I will guide you in choosing your preferred method and finding your perfect dose. After this article you will know precisely how to get the most out of Red Borneo.
1. When to Use Red Borneo Kratom
I highly suggest you use Red Borneo only when you are experiencing pain because developing a tolerance for kratom can occur faster than you think. If you’re using kratom every day, especially twice a day, you WILL develop a tolerance, and the effects will be less potent.
Please do not exceed more than two Red Borneo servings in one day.
However, if you feel you suffer from chronic pain and need to use Red Borneo daily, there are a few things you can do to maintain an adequate tolerance level.
- Use Red Borneo every day until you notice your tolerance level has increased, then take a break from kratom for a month.
- Alternate between strains every week. I highly suggest Red Bali. Red Bali is also great for pain relief and is one of the most potent red strains on the market.
- Switch your method of consumption. This will only work if you switch to a method that absorbs kratom faster. For example, when I switched from kratom capsules to the toss-and-wash method (using the exact dosage), I experienced more potent effects. (More on methods in the next section).
Essentially, the less you use Red Borneo, the more effective it will be. This holds for basically any kratom strain. Now, let’s explore which method of consumption is best for you.
2. Best Way to Consume Red Borneo for You
There are various ways to consume Red Borneo, or kratom in general, for that matter) but some methods tend to produce stronger euphoric effects than others. The reason why certain forms of consumption produce stronger euphoria is due to the speed at which your stomach breaks down and absorbs kratom.
However, all forms of consumption will produce about 3-5 hours of pain relief, regardless of how strong of a euphoria you experience.
We are going to focus on the three most common forms of consumption:
- Kratom Tea
- Kratom Capsules
- Toss and Wash
Each method has its pros and cons. Let’s review each to decide which is best for you and your lifestyle.
Euphoric Strength | Conveniency | Minutes to Pain Relief | Minutes to Euphoria | |
Tea | Strong | Least Conv. | 15 min | 30 – 60 min |
Capsules | Stronger | Most Conv. | 30 – 45 min | About 60 min |
Toss and Wash | Strongest | Moderately Conv. | 15 min | 30 – 45 min |
2.1. Kratom Tea
Many people claim that kratom has a very similar scent and taste as Matcha. If you’ve never had Matcha, kratom has an earthy, dry, and VERY bitter flavor. Hence, many people prefer capsules over tea.
However, adding lemon, honey, and many sweetened milk products can reduce the bitterness of kratom tea. Luckily, Red Borneo is on the lower end of the bitterness scale.
It takes a little time and patience to make Red Borneo tea, but if drinking tea is your thing, here is how you can prepare it.
- Boil 2-4 cups of water
- Pour the Red Borneo powder directly into your cup
- Stir viciously (kratom does not mix well)
- Optional: add your favorite sweetener
Simple and effective, but because many of us are rushing through the day and scrambling to complete our daily tasks, tea is not the ideal form of consumption. Also, tea produces the weakest euphoric effects because you’re taking your time sipping a beverage.
You should begin to feel pain relief within 15 minutes and the full force of the euphoria in about 30 minutes to one hour.
2.2. Kratom Capsules
If time and convenience are your priority, Red Borneo capsules are the way to go. You can avoid the messy powder, accidental spills, and bitter taste.
Capsules are encapsulated in a vegetable cellulose, pharmaceutical-grade capsule. The only downside is how long it takes for your stomach to break them down.
You should begin to feel the initial pain relief in roughly 30 to 45 minutes and about one hour to experience the euphoric feeling.
From my experience, capsules produce the second most substantial euphoric effects, with the toss-and-wash method coming in first.
2.3. Toss and Wash
If you want to experience the full force of Red Borneo in one Mike Tyson punch, I highly suggest the toss and wash. Its strength is due to your body’s quick absorption rate.
The idea is to take a spoonful of Red Borneo, drink water, and swallow. The downside, however, is the extremely bitter taste of having your entire dose in your mouth at one time. Hence, many people shy away from this method.
Before you start swallowing spoonfuls of Red Borneo, let me quickly guide you through the process because there are a couple of tips you should know.
- Fill a spoon with your proper dose of Red Borneo (more on the dose in the next section)
- Take a spoonful of powder, but don’t swallow
- Take a big chug of water (preferably cold; it slightly decreases the bitter taste)
- Make sure NOT to let air in your mouth as you’re drinking water, or you will have a cough attack
- Swirl the water and Red Borneo in your mouth until it’s mixed well enough to swallow
- Swallow
Yes, it’s perfectly fine to make the same face you usually make when taking a shot of Vodka. But once the pain relief and euphoria kick in, you’re going. To wish you had tried this method long ago.
The toss-and-wash method takes about 15 minutes to experience pain relief and roughly 30 to 45 minutes to feel the euphoria.
3. Finding the Perfect Red Borneo Dosage
By now, you’re probably wondering what the perfect dose is. Unfortunately, I can’t answer that question because everyone’s body is entirely different and will react differently to a certain amount of Red Borneo.
Factors such as,
- Weight
- Gender
- Metabolism
- Tolerance
- Food in your system
It will directly affect your experience. What I can do, however, is guide you through finding the best dose for you, so let’s get to it.
Now that you’ve chosen your preferred method of consumption stick to it for the rest of this process and until you achieve your desired effects.
When finding the correct dose, it’s better to use Red Borneo only once daily. Increasing the dose within the same day will produce weaker effects if you wait until the next day. Hence, you won’t know your proper dose.
Once you find your ideal dose, it’s up to you if you want to use Red Borneo twice a day, but I still highly advise against it because you will develop a tolerance much more quickly
By now, you shouldn’t experience a nauseous headache due to your higher tolerance.
