Uprising - Tropical Punch Kratom Shot - 75mg

MIT45 acquired Uprising in 2024, but they consider themselves sister companies. The acquisition demonstrated MIT45's commitment to the bodybuilding community.

Kratom is an herbal substance that’s believed to produce stimulant- and opioid-like effects, depending on how much you consume. The kratom you might find in stores is usually sold as a supplement that may claim to boost energy, improve your mood, and relieve pain.

Kratom contains a host of bioactive compounds called alkaloids. When you consume kratom, these compounds have the ability to influence and disrupt the biochemical processes in your body – with powerful results.

​

The effects of kratom can depend on the dose, the strain, and the user. Kratom is used to:

·   Increase physical energy

·   Boost alertness

·   Boost mood

·   Enhance socialization

·   Relieve pain

·   Induce relaxation

·   Induce euphoria

·   Enhance sex drive

·   Increase appetite

·   Treat diarrhea (as kratom may induce constipation)

·   Treat opioid withdrawal symptoms

·   Replace alcohol in social scenarios

·   Create a topical poultice for wound-healing

·   Treat mood and psychological disorders

​

The strain could also play an important role. Certain strains are better for boosting energy, whereas others have stronger pain-relieving properties.

While at lower doses kratom is often considered a relatively innocuous stimulant like coffee, at higher doses it can have much more powerful effects. In fact, kratom interacts with opioid receptors in the brain to produce potent analgesic and sedative, and even euphoric effects.

​

Finding the proper dosage for your body is incredibly important. If you are new to kratom usage, best practice is to start with a low dosage and slowly build up until you find what works best for you.

​

General serving sizes are as follows;

​

Small: 1-5 grams, effective for approx. 3-4 hours

Moderate: 5-15 grams, effective for approx. 4-6 hours

Heavy: 15+ grams, effective for approx. 6-8 hours, or sometimes longer

​

Finding your proper dosage can be a pain. For help figuring it out, you can make your own journal.
