Talk:Kratom: Difference between revisions

Line 22:

Kratom inhibits multiple enzymes such as CYP2D6, CYP3A4, and CYP1A2. Some anticoagulant and blood thinner medications, Rivaroxaban for example, rely on the CYP3A4 enzyme as a major metabolic pathway. Those on these medications who are considering taking kratom should be aware of this and I believe blood thinner / anticoagulants should be added to the list of interactions. I'm not sure if this edit qualifies as a dangerous interaction, and it certainly is not for all opiates so how would this edit be made to be specific to kratom. What does the community think?

== Strains section incorrect. Common misunderstanding in kratom ==

Hey there, kratom strains are not made like that.

Quote from reddit:

"The veins are generally red when they're small and young, and if anyone says that all kratom veins are red means they are harvesting too early to meet demands. Because the veins will turn green when properly matured. With that said, the color is completely irrelevant other than for judging the maturity of the leaf."

Red is basically fermented leaves and green is air dryed leaves. Gold/yellow (which is missing) is fermented and air dryed.

White is a mixture of red and green with bones(veins), which are stimulating.

Bones are the leaf veins, which are stimulating and usually not included in kratom except for whites.

Strains are not different species. Strains are blends of different types of kratom, and they can vary between vendors.
