Kratom Extract - 5% Mitragynine

Kratom Extract 5% Mitragynine — product information

The Kratom Extract 5% Mitragynine is a standardized powdered extract of Mitragyna speciosa, with a certified concentration of 5% mitragynine — equivalent to 50 mg of mitragynine per gram of product. It is available in 1 g format and is one of three extracts available in the Kratom extracts subcategory of Edabea.

What is mitragynine

Mitragynine is an indole alkaloid and the most abundant compound found in Mitragyna speciosa. In standard kratom powder, mitragynine typically accounts for between 60% and 66% of the total alkaloids present — as confirmed by analyses of batch 22.885 from the Edabea catalog, where Green Maeng Da showed 1.37% mitragynine on a total of 1.98% alkaloids. The rest of the alkaloid profile includes paynantheine, speciogynine, 7-hydroxymitragynine, and other minor compounds.

The total alkaloid concentration in dried Mitragyna speciosa leaves usually ranges from 0.5% to 1.5% depending on the variety, origin, and batch — meaning that 1 kg of standard powder contains between 5 g and 15 g of mitragynine. This standardized 5% extract concentrates that content into a minimal fraction of the original weight.

Standardization by percentage vs scale X

This extract employs a standardization system based on the absolute percentage of mitragynine, unlike the Bali Extract 20X, which uses the relative scale X. The difference is significant from an analytical standpoint:

• Scale X — indicates how many times more concentrated the extract is compared to the original base powder. It is a relative measure that depends on the alkaloid content of the starting material.
• Percentage of mitragynine — indicates exactly how many milligrams of the main alkaloid each gram of product contains, regardless of the starting material. It is the most precise and analytically verifiable measure.

Origin

This extract is made from Mitragyna speciosa sourced from India. India is one of the countries within the natural distribution area of the plant — along with Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and others in Southeast Asia — although its presence in the international kratom market is considerably lower than that of Indonesian varieties.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place protected from direct light, in an airtight container. Under appropriate conditions, the extract maintains its stability for an extended period.

Legal aspects

The legal status of kratom varies significantly by country. In some European countries, including yours, kratom may be subject to restrictions or prohibitions. It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to verify the current regulations in their place of residence before placing any orders. This product is marketed exclusively as botanical collection material and ethnobotanical research. It is not food in the EU.

Frequently Asked Questions

What advantage does standardization by percentage have over scale X?

Standardization by percentage — like the 5% of mitragynine — indicates exactly how many milligrams of the main alkaloid each gram contains, regardless of the starting material. Scale X is a relative measure dependent on the concentration of the base powder, making it less precise for analytical comparisons. The 5% mitragynine is the only extract in the catalog with this absolute standardization.

Why is the extract profile different from that of standard powder?

The standard powder contains all the alkaloids present in the leaf of Mitragyna speciosa in their natural proportions — mitragynine, paynantheine, speciogynine, 7-OH, and others. This extract is specifically standardized at 5% mitragynine, meaning that the relative proportion of secondary alkaloids to mitragynine may differ from the natural profile of the leaf.

What other kratom extracts do you have?

In the extracts subcategory, you'll also find Thai Resin 5 g and the Bali Extract 20X 1 g.

Is it legal to buy this extract in Spain?

The legal status of kratom varies significantly by country. In some European countries, including yours, kratom may be subject to restrictions or prohibitions. It is solely the buyer's responsibility to verify the current regulations in their place of residence before placing any orders.
