Because of certain kratom effect that can do for one's body, some people might be wondering if it is possible to be used for bodybuilding and if there are also possible kratom side effects that might occur. Most people experience nausea when using very strong doses. If you do it three days in a row its less effective, so i would go off of it and back on.
