So what's the big deal with Kratom Resin Extract? Well let’s start with how it’s made. Resin is produced by boiling large amounts of fresh Kratom leaf in a giant cauldron. The mixture is boiled for hours while fresh leaves are added continuously. Once the mixture is thick enough, any remaining water is evaporated and the thick tar-like resin substance is allowed to air dry. This resin extract is 8 times stronger than the regular leaf by weight, hence 8x. This Kratom resin smells amazing straight out of the bag, almost as if it has been caramelized because it’s slightly sweet. This Kratom resin product is dissolvable in hot water.
