If you allow your Kratom to exposure to oxygen, it can cause the leaves to become stale. Even storage of the powder in a “hermetic container” can allow air to get in between the powder and container. Vendors will use a vacuum seal or a nitrogen flushing to prevent the oxygen from coming in contact with the Kratom. There are also bags available that absorb the oxygen in which you may store Kratom as well. One can achieve a “vacuum seal” at home by placing a straw in the corner of the zip-lock baggie, zip the baggie shut and then suck the air out of the baggie until all the air is removed.

Store Your Kratom Powder in Bulk

If you store the Kratom powder in a Hermetic container and there is only a small amount of powder in it, it is going to deteriorate rather quickly in comparison to a container that is full. To ensure your kratom remains fresh, keep the container filled up. The more Kratom that is in the container, the less chance is there for oxygen to get inside.
