Glad its worked for you, 70% relief is a good result id say! I find it lasts a good few hours for me, but it may be different for everyone and digested slower as I "chug the sludge” as you put it. I have read that brewing it into a tea may degrade some of the alkaloids and yields less of them in final product (need more basically; just something to consider if you want to get the most out of the Kratom) however if it works for you as a tea then thats good enough so stick with it man 👊🙏
