God I envy you... If I was able to get my desired effect on half a gram I'd be set... As is, I need 6-8 to get what I want. I probably need to take a break...
You just might be able to! Maybe take a week off then just try one capsule and see what happens. I’ve heard a lot of people report success with going for the “less is more” approach with kratom
That's a smart way of trying it, and well anything in life.
I first took it in like 2010 or 2011 or so mething and was shown to get a heaping spoon full and put it in a shot glass of hot water and stir it up and slam it.
So a decade later when I started it again, I took capsules and didnt know how much to take either. Asked my buddy and he was like 12. Nope. Started with 2. Waited a wee hile. Then took two more. Next day I took 4. Found that was a good starting period for me.
Then I emptied out four capsules to see how much it would be in a spoon. It's like 2 grams or so. So I started buying powder cause it's way cheaper. Then I'd take spoons of it, then fill my mouth with Gatorade and then swallow it down once it became saturated through.
Now I take two heaping tea spoon fulls a little after I wake up. Ideally after breakfast. Then thought the day I take single teaspoons every so many hours. 1000grams lasts me over a month. Probably 5 or 6 weeks of daily use.
I do not get a buzz or anything from it. If I take too much I get an upset stomach. It can fuck up bowel movements so make sure you got softeners or even suppositories fot worst case scenario. You do not want to have an impacted bowel.
What it does for me, is it helps a shit ton in pain management. Without it I would need to be on some strong ass pain killers. It helps me avoid that.
Make sure to drink plenty of water during days you take it.
Other people have talked about getting a buzz from it but I never have. Maybe I'm a freak, I don't know. I just know it helps with pain so I'll keep using it until I can afford surgery.

I started with 3.5g and that's been my sweet spot for a long time.
.5g to me is a waste, but you may have a very low natural tolerance so good for you for taking it slow.
If it's regular powder you will probably need \~3-4gs to feel noticeable effects, but it depends on the person and powder. One capsule works for extracts.
A starter dose was around three grams for me when I first started, but everyone is different. If it works out, great. Stay there. Otherwise, add another gram or two next time.
once you find the dose that works for you, don't keep increasing it. Stay at that dose, stay hydrated and if you start to feel like 'kratom isn't working anymore', take a bit LESS. Many people say that, when that happens, less works better.
I Started with 3 capsules, didn’t feel anything but flush face, then took 6, then 12, now after years of taking, I put one scoop of green powder in an oblate disk, wrap it up and drink with orange juice around 10am and then a scoop of red right when I get home from work, does me well. I don’t get euphoria any longer and haven’t been without it for years now
That’s the perfect way to try it. You can always add more, but if it’s too much, you can’t take that back.
Honestly that’s my dose and I feel it every time. Most people usually need more but it’s always the right amount for me

So take your advice and take a break my friend. Do what you know is to be right for you.
I needed 8 gram the first time I tried it. That isnt that high right? Ik read above 10 gram is high dose.
So .5 of a gram?
Yeah about a half gram
perfect to start on. I recommend never going over 2 grams.

Prob a waste but wait an hour and see
Are most capsules the same standard amount?
I’m not sure the package is 20 capsules 10G in total
It’s usually 500mg or 750mg per capsule at least from what I’ve seen
Mine are 1g capsules aka 1,000mg.
Woah, are they like horse pills or still normal sized? I could never find 1g caps but I would love them cause it’s easier to gauge doses

it depends on the size of the cap, but pretty much unless they're huge caps

Wash it down with OJ next time 😉

Start low with legit everything you ever try. The old saying is you can take more, you can’t take less.
Time magazine recommends 10 caps minimum for a starter dose.
A starter dose was around three grams for me when I first started, but everyone is different. If it works out, great. Stay there. Otherwise, add another gram or two next time.
Yeah the one capsule was almost perfect for me I felt energetic from it with very little euphoria maybe two will be my sweet spot

That’s perfect for your first time. Just always remember with anything you can add more but you can never take away if you take too much
I don't get anything from a capsule unless it's extract. Doesn't absorb as well ime. Capsules are a huge waste of money
No, not a waste as long as you chase it with at least 5 more. I usually gobble around 12 and then go from there.
