What’s the Difference Between Kratom Extract Tablets and Capsules?

You can choose how to enjoy your kratom extract, with tablets being one of the many options available. While tablets can be harder to find than other forms of kratom extract, they are easy enough to spot if you know where to look. We’ve rounded up the top kratom extract tablet brands to get you started.

KRATOM TABLETS VS. CAPSULES

Before getting into the top brands for kratom tablets, it’s worth noting what makes them different from capsules. This is the form they are most commonly compared to, as you take both orally. But they have some essential differences that mean you will likely choose one or the other, not use them interchangeably.

BINDING METHOD

One of the most significant differences between the two is their binding agent. Kratom tablets are typically just made of kratom powder and a binding agent. That binding agent lets the powder hold its shape as a tablet. Several binding agents are possible, including gelatin, starch, silicified microcrystalline cellulose, and sucrose. Capsules, by contrast, like the white vein capsules and others, are kratom powder inside a thin gelatin shell (or a gel cap).

TASTE

Thanks to how they are formed, you can taste the kratom in tablets but not in capsules.

STRENGTH

Neither capsules or tablets are inherently stronger than the other, but you need to carefully read the product labeling and serving size guide. Some capsules and tablets may be filled with raw leaf kratom powder, while others are filled with stronger kratom extracts. There can also be significant differences in the total amount of kratom in each serving size.

DIGESTION AND TIMING

That said, one difference you should be aware of is that with tablets, you start to notice the effects of kratom sooner, and they last longer. The density of the tablets means that your stomach will take a while to break it down entirely. By contrast, capsules will take a little longer for the initial effects, but the total serving size of kratom (so the full effects) is experienced as soon as those effects hit.

So, kratom tablets are ideal if you are okay with the taste of kratom and want quicker effects that last longer. Capsules are ideal if you don’t like the flavor of kratom and are willing to wait slightly longer for full effects to kick in.

BEST KRATOM EXTRACT TABLET BRANDS

Now that you have a better idea of kratom tablets consider some of the best brands:

• Krabot: Offers a handful of tablets ranging from 40-150mg of kratom extract per tablet.
• Kraken Kratom: Offers a handful of chewable tea tablets in 5- to 20-count packages.
• Etha Natural Botanicals: Offers over a dozen kratom tablets based on various strains.

CONCLUSION

Kratom tablets are just one of the many options when selecting kratom products. They are highly portable. Compared to kratom capsules, the onset of effects from tablets is faster and lasts longer. When choosing where to buy your tablets, choose a quality extract vendor. Read real reviews to confirm the reputation of the vendor, as well as the star rating of the product. When looking at reviews, use the rating scores filter to limit results to only those from a verified reviewer.

And confirm the kratom products are what you want. Look at the tablets’ quantity and confirm the in-stock product is made from extract, not raw plant. Remember that while fast shipping is helpful, good rating scores and a strong reputation are more important. This will ensure the quality of the product.
