Kratom and Gaming
Upgrade Your Armor
For the cozy, casual gamers, the strategists, the up-all-nighters, and the perpetually online players, we can all come to an agreement: gaming is a high point during the week. It’s an escape from reality into a world where you’re just a little more in control and you’re always welcome.
And whether it’s enjoying the experience alone, with friends, on PC, or your favorite console, many gamers like to keep ‘fuel’ by their side.
Picturing cheese curls 🧀 and energy drinks? Uhm, well yes, those are handy, and taste great. But many are heavily processed and packed with all sorts of weird ingredients most of us can’t pronounce on our first take. Plus, if you’re looking into how to avoid burnout as a gamer, the caffeine crashes and jitteriness can be nightmares. 😱
Kratom and Video Games
You have your ideal setup…a cozy supportive chair, lighting that’s easy on the eyes, a cat in your lap 🐱, top performance headset…and a nice big tumbler of water to keep things hydrated. Now you’re looking for the final touch, the golden ticket to honing in and making progress on your go-to game.
Natural ingredients are what the brain craves and can help you stay alert while gaming.
Taking the plant-based stimulant, Kratom (Mitragyna Speciosa) before gaming, just might seal the deal. Smaller doses of Kratom supply a helpful boost in energy, focus, and mood that differs from typical caffeine.
☕ CAFFEINE
Energy Type = sharp & stimulating
Focus = direct, task-oriented
Mood = either neutral or slightly nervous
🍃 KRATOM
Energy Type = smoother, sometimes mixed with calm
Focus = Direct, task-oriented
Mood = often mood-boosting, euphoric
It’s great news for streamers! In addition to staying awake while gaming, Kratom can also give you a minor mood boost, widening your best smile on camera and amping up your viewers with it.
Caffeine generally kicks in 15-45 minutes after consumption and lasts about 2-4 hours, while Kratom kicks in at the 20-45 minute mark and can last up to 4-6+ hours. So, enjoying Kratom for long gaming sessions is very plausible to keep you up with the stars. Just make sure you take it at least 20 minutes before booting up.
What about crashing? Most of us are aware that caffeine can bring on a pretty intense crash. Kratom is different in its comedown. The crash is usually less sharp, but it can linger.
Again, it is very important to take dosage into consideration with Kratom, since higher doses swing to the other side of the pendulum, bringing on drowsiness and a relaxed, detached feeling. Those new to Kratom, should stick to 1-2g, then wait it out and see how your body responds.
Our product labels give the recommended dosage and maximum daily limit. Always start smaller if you are unsure. 🤏😉

🥄 Those who don’t mind a little prep work, go for the crushed leaf Powders. Still, Kratom naturally has a very bitter flavor. You’ll be kicking back that murky beverage quickly, but it’s the original tried and true Kratom method that arrived in the States before extracts.
💊 Those who worked hard and are over the prep work, look to our Tablets and Capsules. 65Salt specifically contains salt-based Kratom extract that brings on faster absorption and quicker onset.
🍒 And those looking to savor their Kratom, we recommend Electro MIT Botanical Shots, Speciosa Soda, and KRATOMade Drink Mix! Electro MIT and Speciosa Soda really are the badasses of the bunch, blending both Kratom and caffeine together. The sweet fruits mask Kratom’s bitterness. While, KRATOMade Drink Mix is less intense, it boasts 26 uniquely refreshing flavors, and you’re sure to find a favorite to sip on before the gaming session begins.
Half a packet = 1 serving
How About Board Games? 🎲
Is Kratom good for game night? Of course! The only difference between video games and board games is the fact that one is played on a screen. That’s literally the only difference. Board games and card games are a growing market, too, and more of the hardcore players will happily dig into an 8-hour playtime adventure (if you know, you know). When learning a new game or going full immersion, some players might need a little help.
Kratom for board games comes in handy, again, when taken at smaller doses to assist with alertness, focus, and a relaxed mind.
