Does Kratom Have Effects On Athletic Performance?

In the world of sports, performance is vital; all types of sporting activity require the athlete to be able to combine his skills, talent, and understanding of the game in a way that would result in victory. Therefore, athletes have to train continually, and this training can be very strenuous, causing pain and injuries. Consistent muscle pain can lead to various health complications that would result in the decline of the general fitness of the body, and this is where the wonderworking Kratom comes in.

Many athletic performance enhancers and supplements are banned for professional athletes. Substances like steroids are illegal altogether, but a group of legal supplements would have beneficial health impacts in the long run. Kratom is an entirely natural herbal extract supplement with vast health applications. For athletes, it can be used as a pain reliever, energy booster, mood enhancer, sleep inducer, etc.

The Source of Kratom

The Mitragyna species of plant is the source of Kratom, and Kratom functions partly by acting on opioid receptors. When given at low doses, Kratom is a stimulant that causes a surge of energy in the athlete’s body, while it can eradicate pain at high doses. Kratom is a sedative at incredibly high doses and can be used in place of addictive and deadly opiates such as oxycontin and oxycodone. The kratom plant is quite popular in treating opioid withdrawal symptoms because it is more readily accessible than other prescribed drugs.

Is Kratom Legal?

Kratom is legal in Southeast Asian countries, parts of the United States, and many other places, but it is yet to be legalized in Australia, Denmark, Florida, Alabama, and Indiana. Kratom could be used as a versatile pre-workout enhancer in parts of the world where it is legalized. The product comes in different forms; gummies, extracts, tablets, tinctures, and capsules. Kratom also comes in different strains depending on what you want to use it for.

For example, athletes can use Red vein Bali as this kratom strain can improve sleep and reduce pain.

The Need for Kratom in Athletics

Athletics is characterized by repeated rigorous training, self-exertion, physical discipline, stamina building, increasing demand for better performance, etc. It is a highly competitive arena with intense pressure continually on the athletes. While some athletes relish this pressure, others dread it, and this could cause a reduction in the physical and mental performance of the athlete.

This necessitates using some form of mental exercise and organic chemical-based drugs like Kratom. So rather than allow an athlete to get to breaking point for lack of a stress reliever, bodies like WADA have permitted the use of Kratom in sports.

Benefits of Kratom to Athletes

Kratom Can improve Sleep

Unlike what most people believe, Sleep is a crucial part of the training program for athletes. Sleep improves concentration, rejuvenates the body, and generally keeps it fit. However, due to pressure, pain, and overthinking, athletes do not get enough sleep. Even when they genuinely wish to sleep, their minds tend to remain awake—this lack of good sleep results in energy depletion and poor performance.

Kratom-based products interphase with the neuronal system and increase an athlete’s sleeping tendency. This helps restore the athlete’s body to perfection, relaxes his nerves, and tranquilizes his entire body.

Kratom May Relieve Stress

Stress is a normal part of the lives of athletes and can result from multiple causes. There are a host of physical, emotional, and mental stressors that could arise from injuries, traumas, self-pity, low self-esteem, repeated failures, etc.

Athletes’ social and personal lives could also be going through challenges that might affect their performance. So, Kratom could be administered to these athletes to reduce their stress levels and help them focus while training.

Kratom Can Alleviate Anxiety

Athletes are accustomed to anxiety, and those with poor adaptive skills perform terribly at games due to this fact. They allow it to interface with their focus, and they might even get injured. The active component in Kratom, mitragynine, combines with the brain receptors to produce anti-anxiety effects. Therefore, Kratom can help athletes compete favorably during games. The Green Malay Kratom strain can prove very helpful in combating Anxiety in beginners.

Kratom Can Be an Immune Booster

Immunity is a valuable state for every human being, and how much more for an athlete. A functional immune system confers peak performance, but repeated inflammation, intense exertion, repeated illness, weakness, and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections whenever the contrary is the case.

Kratom can serve as an aid for immune-boosting foods. The leaves of the mitragynine plant contain an alkaloid that has incredible therapeutic abilities, healing powers, and immune boosters. The plant is also a rich source of antioxidants that help mop up toxic radicals in the body.

Kratom Can Boost Energy

Athletes need a constant energy source to survive. Because athletes go through physical, mental, and even emotional strain, their energy drains regularly. Thus, Kratom-based products should be kept handy for them regularly. Much more than consuming energy drinks and the likes that would harm, later on, organic-based supplements like Kratom should be destroyed.

Maintains Heart Health

The repetitive rigorous exercises that athletes endure build up their muscles and have far-reaching consequences on their hearts. Due to the nature of the activities, the myocardium gets thicker, and the chambers become larger. These changes offer some advantages because they allow the heart to pump more blood volume per beat.

However, this might predispose the athlete to certain heart conditions over time. Kratom is beneficial in maintaining the cardiovascular health of the athlete and shields their heart from numerous ailments like hemorrhage, coronary heart failure, arteriosclerosis, etc. Athletes can protect their hearts by taking gummies, capsules, and tinctures enriched with Kratom.

Kratom Can Reduce Body Pain

Body pains are a characteristic of sports, and athletes are accustomed to pains; Kratom has anti-inflammatory properties that reduce muscular pains. This would go a great deal to help the athletes function better overall. An athlete can heal more quickly when he regularly consumes Kratom products, even when they sustained injuries.

Health Warning

Kratom can produce adverse reactions such as stomach ache, nausea, or headaches in some consumers. The duration of these reactions can be short or long, depending on the dose consumed and other innate features of the athlete. However, the consensus is that the side effects of Kratom-based products are not severe. As a result, athletes should ask their trainers and doctors questions regarding the dose plan to be on the safe side.

Conclusion

If you wish to enhance your practice and performance as an athlete, Kratom is a must-have herb as it would keep you relaxed, stress-free, and energized. Obtain advice from a medical expert before consuming Kratom to reduce the possibility of coming down with side effects. Procure Kratom from a recognized source. This is essential to prevent purchasing adulterated product versions.

No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children trick or treating on Halloween. Those reports you hear on the news simply aren’t true! ⁣
⁣
However, if you are attending a Halloween party for adults, ask if the candies, goodies, or drinks are special or infused! Edibles are more common at parties as an alternative to alcohol, especially in states where the plant has been legalized for both recreational & medical use.⁣
⁣
If you’re not used to consuming, try a small piece or half a piece, drink plenty of water, and make sure you have a safe place to sit if needed. And always call a rideshare aka Uber or Lyft home!⁣
⁣
Happy Halloween! 🎃💀👻⁣

Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄 ⁣ Which is you Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄
⁣
Which is your favorite Medicinal Mushr00m?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's more important than ever to take mushr00m supplements. Here's a little about how my favorite four mushr00ms work:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Lion’s Mane Mushr00ms: great for improving focus and memory. Lion's mane promotes neurogenesis, or birth of new brain cells.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Cordyceps Mushr00ms: great for fighting fatigue and increasing length of your workouts. It's especially helpful for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue patients.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Turkey Tail Mushr00ms: great for supporting your immune system. Clinical trials have looked at its role in fighting cancer.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Reishi Mushr00ms: what can't the queen of mushr00ms do? It fights cancer, boosts the immune system, improves mood, levels blood sugar, and promotes heart health.⁣⁣

9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a da 9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a day to celebrate them?
Well in the United States & many parts of the world, they are still illegal, similar to another misunderstood therapeutic green plant we celebrate on 4/20. 
I've worked hard over the years in Denver & many other states to help decriminalize shr00ms and help people access information on how to use them for medical, spiritual, and stress relief purposes. I suggest following @decriminalizenature & @doubleblindmag for deeper info.
How are you celebrating today? ❤️ 🍄 ❤️

I’m not the only one, right? 😜 👩🏻‍🔬 💚
As a neuroscientist, I put out the first book on the potential causes of endocannabinoid deficiency and how to balance your ECS with or without plant medicine. 
From stress to medications to diet to your genes, there are so many ways your ECS go go haywire. The fact that so many people respond to plant medicine is likely because so many of us have severe imbalances.

At least in Nevada under the Board of Pharmacy... At least in Nevada under the Board of Pharmacy...
This is a huge victory, especially for POC in Nevada who were unfairly targeted by police and arrested due to this legal loophole despite legalization of this plant.
The ACLU sued the Nevada Pharmacy Board & won the case. An additional judgement on whether or not the board should regulate the plant at all any more is coming in future weeks.
Still waiting for @Potus to legalize on the Federal level. What are we waiting for?
