Kratom and Metabolic Health: Study Confirms What We Already Knew

If you're a fan of Kratom, you probably already know that this traditional Southeast Asian herb is a powerhouse when it comes to boosting energy and reducing pain. And if you think that through you’d probably guess that these same properties could be the key to better metabolic health. So you are likely not shocked that a recent study published in the journal Heliyon has confirmed what many of us have long suspected - regular Kratom use is associated with lower rates of metabolic syndrome.

Let's be real: this finding is about as surprising as the sun rising in the east. After all, when you're not bogged down by chronic pain and fatigue, it's a lot easier to stay active and make healthy lifestyle choices. And when you've got the energy to move your body and the motivation to take care of yourself, good things happen.

But hey, it's always nice to have some hard data to back up our intuition, right? So let's dive into the details.

The study, conducted in Thailand, compared 285 regular Kratom users to 296 non-users. The results showed that Kratom users had a significantly lower prevalence of metabolic syndrome at 11.9% compared to 21.6% in non-users. Even after adjusting for factors like sex, age, smoking, alcohol use and exercise, Kratom users had a 44% lower chance of having metabolic syndrome.

When the researchers looked at specific risk factors, they found that Kratom use was associated with a 60% lower chance of elevated waist circumference, a 40% lower chance of elevated triglycerides, and a lower prevalence of reduced HDL cholesterol. There were no significant differences in blood pressure or blood sugar between the groups.

So what's the secret behind Kratom's metabolic effects? The scientists point to the herb's interaction with opioid receptors and its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects as potential mechanisms for regulating metabolic processes. They also highlight mitragynine, the most abundant alkaloid in Kratom, as a likely key player in these benefits.

At SheLeaf, we've crafted our RISE product to contain the highest levels of mitragynine, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking to harness the power of Kratom for better health and well-being. But more than that, we're excited about what these findings mean for women everywhere who are struggling with metabolic issues and looking for natural solutions.

Because let's face it - when you feel good, it's easier to do good for your body. When pain and exhaustion aren't holding you back, you're free to move, nourish, and care for yourself in all the ways that matter most. And that's what RISE is all about - giving you the support you need to rise to the challenge of living your best life.

Of course, we always recommend talking to your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen, and it's important to remember that Kratom is just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to metabolic health. But if you're ready to experience the energy, vitality, and pain relief that RISE can offer, we invite you to give it a try and see the difference for yourself.
