A: Kratom tablets are compact pills crafted from raw kratom powder and a binding agent, pressed together using exceptionally high pressures.
Kratom powder, when compressed on its own, lacks the ability to maintain its form. While pure kratom powder can achieve some cohesiveness under significant pressure, it swiftly dissolves upon contact with even minimal moisture, such as in the mouth before swallowing.
The binding agent in kratom tablets is a specialized additive designed to enhance cohesion, enabling the pressed pill to retain its structure until it is digested or exposed to liquid for extended periods.
The most prevalent binding agents in kratom tablets include:
- Sucrose
- Gelatin
- Starch
- Polyvinylpyrrolidone
- Microcrystalline cellulose
