Tony Huge Talks Kratom: A Bodybuilder's Secret for Back Pain Relief
Kratom has different strands. Some are better for pain, some are more mood uplifting, some are more relaxing. The strand I like to use before my workouts is mangda, and even in mangda there are strands within strands. The alkaloids in the mangda are excellent. They're more energizing and I like to use them before workouts because they boost your mood, they're just more uplifting and they stack well with pre-workouts as well.
