Kratom Dosage for Beginners: Start Low, Go Slow

The single most important rule for new kratom users is “start low, go slow.” Here’s a practical framework for finding your minimum effective dose.

Why low and slow

Tolerance and sensitivity vary widely. Starting small lets you find the least product that works for you — saving money and reducing tolerance build-up.

A practical beginner approach

• Choose a mild product like Gold.
• Begin with a fraction of the suggested serving.
• Wait 30-45 minutes and note effects.
• Increase slightly next time only if needed.

Keep a log

Jotting down product, serving and effect makes it easy to dial in your ideal dose. Read our beginner guide for more.
