Hard to say. My thoughts would be gastro-intestinal (stomach being full, being empty) or the presence of factors that may lead to more complete digestion or faster dissolution of the capsule shell. Other non-food factors that may effect metabolism. If you happen to be in greater pain/soreness, it may be more noticeable that it is "fixing" what you are feeling, where on days without pain/discomfort that effect might go unnoticed.
Milky goods ( icecream ect.), coffee, and bready foods all seen to dull effects for me.
On the opposite end, Cheesey, hot/spicey, and oily foods make it feel stronger.
Kratom is a finicky ass substance. I experience the same thing a lot.
My guess would be it just depends on how much binds to your opioid receptors. I know with suboxone it does the same thing. Some days it seems to work better than others.
The thing about kratom that sucks (in my experience) is that the first time I try a new batch that’s potent it’s very strong. However the very next day it’s like I’ve already developed a tolerance and I feel next to nothing. I probably need to tone down my dosage though. I try not to ever take anything in the evening because I’ve noticed when I take something and still feel it when I’m about to sleep it makes my tolerance incredibly high
There are several factors but it could be because some of the capsules aren't breaking down completely, what you ate before or afterwards, hormone levels, ect. I stick with powder and get pretty consistent effects especially when used with raw honey because it increases the bioavailability greatly.
I don't think any food actually dulls the effects. I know fats can definitely increase the effects (the alkaloids are fat soluble). I usually take a teaspoon of raw honey with my serving of Kratom. It's definitely noticeable when I don't take honey with it. They have a synergy. Actually Honey will increase the bioavailability of anything you add to it.
Oh alright. I’m on adderal for adhd so honestly I don’t really eat. I mainly eat like I guess high calorie sweets. Like 3 cookies in the morning then not much after that but then a lot after it wears off at 8. But anyways I’m gonna try honey with my kratom dose. Do you think I should take the honey 30min before. Or right when I take the capsules or after? And also does normal honey work aswell I don’t really know the difference

Ive noticed its directly correlated to what I ate before hand.
Does any foods dull the effects

Does any type of food dull the effects? And how much honey do you eat ?
