Do Poked Kratom Capsules Dissolve Faster?

To follow up our first capsule test, we ran another simple experiment:
Does poking holes in a kratom capsule make it dissolve faster in water?

Same setup—room temperature water, magnetic stirring machine—but this time, we used a pin to poke a few small holes in the capsule shell before dropping it in.

The difference? Noticeable. It started breaking down around the 2-minute mark, cutting the original 8-minute time by more than half.

So while it’s not an instant fix, poking holes may give you a quicker onset. Could be helpful if you’re timing your routine—or just want to test absorption speed for yourself.
