Kratom contains a variety of alkaloids that are soluble in both polar solvents (water) and non-polar solvents (isopropyl alcohol, Everclear, etc). This extraction attempts to yield as much of the psychoactive alkaloids in kratom as possible. The acetic acid will provide a polar solvent (95% water after all) and the lower pH will aid in extraction. The nonpolar solvent of choice will capture all of the psychoactive chemicals such as indole alkaloids and partial mu opioid agonists.
