Even if you’re new to the world of kratom, you’re probably already aware of kratom powders, capsules, and gummies, but you may not be aware of liquid extract kratom products. With their ease of use and powerful results, you could be missing out if you haven’t yet had the kratom shot experience. Want to learn more about them? Stay tuned, and we’ll explain what kratom shots are, how to choose the best ones, and how to have the most powerful experience with liquid kratom shots.
What Is a Kratom Shot?
Kratom shots, or rather, more accurately, a kratom liquid extract, are stealthy, easy to use, and, for many, their preferred type of kratom product. Easy to toss into your gym bag, purse, backpack, or even your pocket, you can carry kratom shots with you wherever you go. Ready to use without any messy mixing or measuring, they’re the no-mess solution for when your pick-up-and-go has got up and left.
If you’re familiar with kratom powders, you know that they are dried and ground (and sometimes fermented) leaves from the Southeast Asian tree Mitragyna speciosa, also known as Mitragyna speciosa in the scientific community. Although kratom shots (i.e., extracts) are also derived from the leaves of the kratom tree, they are a more highly concentrated product. Once the kratom leaves have been harvested, sun-dried, and ground, they undergo further processing to isolate and extract their alkaloids, mainly mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine.
Kratom extracts contain significantly higher levels of alkaloids than their powdered counterparts. The benefit of extracting kratom’s alkaloids from their leaves is that the final product is powerful, and users only need to use small amounts. Kratom shots are perfect for dialing in the exact benefits and experience you’re seeking, and they tend to produce results faster than traditional kratom powder.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Liquid Kratom
With so many different types of kratom shots on the market, it can be difficult to decide which is the best one for you and your goals. This can be even more troublesome when purchasing a kratom shot from a brick-and-mortar store in an unregulated state. In states that haven’t enacted the Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA), a law that regulates what kratom manufacturers can and cannot include in their products, unscrupulous manufacturers could adulterate their products with synthetic alkaloids. When you want the best kratom extracts, you’ll want to purchase products that are made with pure kratom.
To ensure that you’re purchasing the purest kratom extracts, check for the following:
- Quality: The best kratom extracts have been triple-purified to eliminate all solvents and possible contaminants during the extraction process.
- Lab testing: Rigorous third-party testing ensures that kratom extracts are free from heavy metals, microbes, and contaminants. It is not recommended to purchase products that haven’t been lab-tested.
Tips for Using Kratom Shots
When using kratom extracts for the first time, some special considerations should be taken into account. If you’re thinking about trying kratom shots, here are some things to consider.
- Serving sizes: It’s important to remember that a little goes a long way. Since kratom shots are highly concentrated, without paying attention to serving sizes, it’s very easy to take too much. It’s best to start slow and monitor your body for reactions.
- Potency: Since kratom extracts provide much more kick than powders, users need to be aware of how much mitragynine and other alkaloids the product contains. The old adage, “a little goes a long way,” is fitting when using kratom extracts.
- Taste: While many liquid kratom products don’t have the full-on bitter bite of kratom powders, they generally still retain some of it. If the taste of your favorite kratom shot is a bit too much to handle, you can try blending it with your favorite smoothie, shake, or juice.
