Kratom is extremely popular around Wild Leaf, though it's still a mystery to many of the people we see! You can read all about what kratom actually is here, today we'll only be talking about the different types of kratom products and their benefits.
Kratom Powder:
Kratom powder is the most popular kratom product at Wild Leaf. It's available in dry powder form or capsules. The dry powder is commonly taken by dry scooping, similar to taking pre-workout powder, and chasing with a drink.
Capsules are great for those who want the effects of dry powder, but don't like the idea of dry scooping or don't want to deal with the taste. Each capsule is usually just under 1 gram, which makes them an easy way to take a more exact dose without a scale.
A benefit of taking dry kratom powder is that the powder only has one ingredient: kratom leaf. There's no looking out for fillers or additives, making it the most natural choice.
A piece of advice that we try and tell every kratom beginner is to make sure you don't drink any carbonated drinks within the time you use kratom powder. It's not dangerous necessarily, but the bubbles mixing with dry powder can cause uncomfortable stomach problems.
Kratom Extract Shots:
Kratom Extract Shots are a concentrated form of kratom. These are usually water-based and are available in small bottles with suggested portion sizes differing per bottle, depending on how concentrated they are.
The two big trusted brands we carry for extract shots are Hush and MIT 45, though there are far more brands becoming popular. It's so important to research and trust the brands you try since not every extract is regulated and tested the same. There is a risk for unapproved additives and they may have unwanted side effects.
The benefits of using extract shots are that they are easily accessible, easier to consume than dry powder, and they can be flavored. The flavoring is usually sweet but will not fully mask the kratom taste, so it's still something to get used to.
Kratom Edibles & Drinks
Kratom edibles like cookies or gummies are always the most fun choice for taking a daily kratom dose! They taste much better (though there is no fully masking the kratom taste), and it is fully measured out into exact doses. We offer gummies from MIT 45 and Rave Kratom. We also offer Crispy Blunts cookies with kratom and kava, and Nano K kratom chocolates.
Kratom drinks are an up and coming way to take daily kratom, with Tea Time being our top brand. When drank cold, this is the best way to beat the unmistakable kratom extract flavor.
Drinks and edibles are perfect for kratom beginners since they are usually a fairly low dose and add some extra sweetness. The mentioned risks about kratom extracts do still apply to these, so make sure you know where and how your extracts were made.
