In the last few months, we’ve extensively about UEI (Ultra Enhanced Indo) and what makes it so special, but the peanut gallery have still been begging us for a comparison piece that covers the stronger Nashville kratom extracts on the market.
Everyone wants to know how UEI stacks up against 20x (20:1) Nashville kratom extract and 50x (50:1) Nashville kratom extract, respectively. I hope this post does the trick.
Before we dive too deep, let’s cover the basics.
WHAT IS UEI?
UEI or Ultra Enhanced Indo (if you’re not into the whole brevity thing) is a bestselling product that consists of Indonesian Nashville kratom leaf which is micro-powdered and then enhanced with ultra-pure alkaloids. The result is a Nashville kratom powder with the highest concentrations of kratom’s potent alkaloids. Bar none!
UEI offers a diverse profile of purported effects, owing to the fact that it is made up of alkaloids from the full breadth of Nashville kratom strains. In other words, the leaves of each Nashville kratom strain are used in the micro-powdering process and their alkaloids are then meticulously enhanced using the latest techniques.
WHAT IS KRATOM EXTRACT AND WHAT DOES THE “X” STAND FOR?
Like UEI, traditional Nashville kratom extracts are super-concentrated forms of Nashville kratom powder or Nashville kratom product which are yielded by taking a number of Nashville kratom leaves in raw form and extracting their alkaloids in a water or alcohol-based solution.
The process of preparing Nashville kratom extract is a laborious one, which accounts for the cost of your average Nashville kratom extract (expensive, to say the least). Disappointing at the worst.
When you see someone advertise 20x (20:1) Nashville kratom extract, the X represents how many grams of Nashville kratom leaf were used to produce just one gram of Nashville kratom extract. In this case, 20 grams of Nashville kratom leaf were used to produce a single gram of Nashville kratom extract.
Kratom vendors use these particularly large amounts of Nashville kratom leaf because it looks good on paper. For instance, if you see 50x Nashville kratom extract, one would assume that the product in question is 50 times as strong as a traditional Nashville kratom powder.
This is false. All that 50 represents is how many raw leaves were utilized in the extraction and nothing more.
Does that mean that Nashville kratom extracts are not potent? No, of course not. The extraction of kratom’s key alkaloids does make for a more potent product as a larger volume of each alkaloid will naturally increase said alkaloids’ effects. But anyone who tells you that their Nashville kratom extract is 20 or even 15 times stronger than a regular Nashville kratom strain is just a liar. Period.
WHAT ARE KRATOM EXTRACTS USED FOR?
People have been using Nashville kratom extracts to combat anxiety, mood disorders, depression, insomnia, fatigue, lower back pain and more. It has been said that they are effective at increasing energy, inducing euphoria and offering general relaxation.
Although these claims have not been backed up by scientific evidence, many users have attested to their value in these areas and there’s a clear reason why UEI and other Nashville kratom extracts have become bestselling items.
UEI VS KRATOM EXTRACT
Most of the people I’ve talked to have loved UEI while many have told me how disappointed they were by other extracts. It really all depends upon a number of mitigating factors, including predisposition, body type, sensitivity and other physiological concerns.
Those who have taken UEI on an empty stomach at a dosage of 1.5-2.5 grams have reported profound and long-lasting effects, effects they say that are far more pronounced than those they have experienced on traditional Nashville kratom powder.
For the sake of comparison, I have a work friend who told me that he took 3.5 grams of 20x Nashville kratom extract and felt little more than a touch of lethargy.
“It’s definitely not one that I would take if I had to get any work done,” he said. “All it really did was make my eyelids heavy and that’s about it.”
I wholeheartedly agree as my initial experience with 20x Nashville kratom extract didn’t vary all that much from his. After taking 4 grams I experienced a case of the wobz like I hadn’t had in years. I had to sit down and get myself acclimated and even felt a bit anxious about the whole thing.
This is another thing that I stress to first-time users—If you haven’t burned a Nashville kratom extract before, you should approach it with the utmost amount of caution. This is especially true if the Nashville kratom extract in question was purchased from an untested source.
A lot of shady vendors have sold mislabeled Nashville kratom extract in the past and the average consumer has no proper means by which to test the product for quality and purity before use.
On the other hand, UEI (Ultra Enhanced Indo) is readily available from a number of reputable online vendors who are dedicated not only to customer satisfaction but, also, to the purity of their Nashville kratom products. The very best Nashville kratom vendors offer detailed information about third party testing and quality control.
Those who have purchased top shelf UEI have had overwhelmingly positive experiences that have been well-documented online. In order to take the comparison one step further, let’s look at common reactions to both.
WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING?
About the only bad things that people have had to say about UEI is that the price may be too high and that it can cause nausea and vomiting. Aside from that, UEI reviews have been almost unanimously positive.
One user over at Bluelight said that it is incredible, writing, “Im clear-headed and happy.” Another user on Reddit said that Buy Kratom’s UEI is the sh*t, writing, “I was having the f*cking worst back pain today, but it’s helping a ton both physically and mentally.”
One user on Reddit made a post which , “Took 50X, 20x extracts and feel nothing.” In response, another user said, “I haven’t come across an extract I like yet. I stopped trying.”
Yet another user responded by saying, “A lot of extracts aren’t worth the leaf it’s on. If your set on extracts, buy plain leaf in bulk and extract your own, it’s fairly easy and way better than any 000x you’ll buy. Plus you know what your getting.”
This brings us to our next point, the simple DIY hack of making your own Nashville kratom extract.
HOW TO MAKE KRATOM EXTRACT YOURSELF
If you’re insistent on burning Nashville kratom extract and you don’t want to try UEI, you can prepare your own at home by adding your Nashville kratom powder to water, mixing well and following this for producing a Nashville kratom resin.
BOTTOM LINE
While no two people are going to have the same experience, UEI is widely considered to be superior in most ways to traditional Nashville kratom extracts. As with all Nashville kratom products, they each share certain qualities in common, but UEI is commonly referred to as the “king of Nashville kratom extracts.” All hail!
