Opinions - Food right after? Nootropic assistance?

[Zerix]

Hi! So SWIM was wondering if eating right after like say 20-30 min ingesting Kratom ruin the absorption or lessen its effects?

And also, are there any nootropics (piracetam, picamilon, etc.) that SWIM can take or shouldn't take, that can potentiate the kratom, or lessen it ?

Thanks!

Once the kratom has been absorbed you can eat. Some people have claimed that a light meal after the kratom has started working has actually increased the effects slightly.

If your so hungry that you cant wait then skip the kratom and eat a meal, otherwise just give it an hour.

Eating afterwards may enhance the effect of the kratom due to gastric emptying, the same way drinking beer after spirits causes an enhanced effect of the spirits (often resulting in extreme intoxication, sickness..etc.). The more dense substance (food in this case) causes the stomach to begin emptying, and the intestines to increase peristalsis, resulting in a "pushing down" of the previously ingested substance (in this case, kratom). There is probably a fine line between this increase in digestion rate and overwhelming the kratom with too much food.

Furthermore, a little bit of food might help to ease some of the gastric discomfort that some people experience with kratom.

Ah, thank you the input. That is good info for SWIM, as sometimes SWIM starves all for the purpose of better digesting the K.
