KRATOM PRODUCTS

Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia with leaves that contain naturally occurring alkaloids such as mitragynine, paynantheine, speciogynine, speciociliatine and many more that contribute to the effects. Kratom has been used for centuries for both its stimulating and relaxing properties. The specific range of effects depend heavily on strain type and dosage.

Users report that the effects of kratom give them heightened mood, elevated feelings of comfort, added energy, stimulation and physical relaxation. Red strains are more for relaxation, white strains for energy, and green and gold strains are hybrid options that provide a combination of effects. Keep in mind that kratom affects everyone differently, and finding the right strain and dosage for your needs may take some experimentation.

Kratom comes in several formats, each with its own advantages depending on your lifestyle and preferences.
Powder is the most traditional option and can simply be mixed into water, tea, juice, or a beverage of your choice, which makes it great for versatility and precision over your dosage. If you want to read more about how to get the most out of your kratom powder, see our guide on how to take powdered kratom.
Capsules are convenient, discreet and tasteless which make them ideal for traveling and for effortless mess-free dosing. No measuring, no mixing, and each Mount Kratom capsule contains 1000mg, which is nearly twice the industry standard. Many users prefer capsules because they completely eliminate the naturally bitter taste of kratom powder.
Gummies are made from kratom extract which gives users maximum potency in a delicious and easy format. While extract products offer serious strength, our gummies are available in 3 different potency levels – 15mg, 30mg, and 60mg. If you’re new to kratom and prefer gummies, we suggest going with the 15mg and slowly working your way up as you become accustomed to its effects.
Shots are a liquid extract-based format that provide 1-3 high-potency servings per bottle. Each shot contains 155mg, or 50mg per serving. They’re a convenient, ready-to-use option for experienced users who want fast-acting extract-level potency in a convenient and travel-friendly format. Many prefer shots because they can be measured and poured into a beverage of your choice – such as juice or a smoothie – for a delicious kratom cocktail.
Tinctures are also liquid and extract-based, but significantly more concentrated than shots. A few drops goes a long way, with each bottle yielding around 15 servings. They’re best suited for experienced users who want precise control over a highly concentrated dose.

Duration depends on various factors like format, strain, and personal tolerance levels. For example, effects from powders and capsules generally last 3-5 hours – whereas extracts offer stronger but shorter effects of roughly 2-4 hours. Factors like body weight, metabolism, whether you’ve eaten recently, and your overall tolerance to kratom all influence duration of effects and how strongly they’re felt. New users tend to feel effects quicker and for longer than experienced users. Starting with a smaller serving and waiting one hour before taking more is always recommended.

Kratom can be safe when taken responsibly and in small to moderate serving sizes. The right dosage and frequency depend on factors like your body composition, overall health, habits around usage, and kratom type. Be sure to stay hydrated, follow the instructions on the package for the serving size, and avoid mixing kratom with alcohol or sedatives. If you feel any negative effects after taking it, consult your physician. As with any consumable or supplement, responsible use is key, and starting with a moderate dose is always the right approach – especially for new users or when trying a new strain or format for the first time.

Kratom legality varies from country to country. In the USA it’s legal in the vast majority of states. Always check your local regulations to know the legal status of kratom. Mount Kratom does not currently ship to: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Indiana, Louisiana, Vermont, Wisconsin, Sarasota County, Union County, Malheur County, Denver CO, San Diego CA, City of Oceanside CA, Jerseyville IL, Alton IL, and Columbus MS.

The right strain depends on what kind of experience you’re looking for, your tolerance level, and the time of day you plan to use it. Here are some general starting points:
Looking for a mild boost of energy? Pick Premium White Hulu Kapuas.
Prefer a stronger boost of energy? Pick Premium White Maeng Da.
Looking for easy-going relaxation? Pick Red Bali.
Prefer a stronger sedation? Pick Red Dragon.
Looking for a middle ground between energy and relaxation? Pick Gold Bali.

If you’re new to kratom, starting with a milder strain offers a gentler introduction to kratom’s effects without overwhelming potency. Consider exploring stronger strains after you become more familiar with how kratom affects you.

Vein color reflects the maturity of the leaf when it’s harvested and correlates with differences in alkaloid profile and effects. This is why each vein type feels different from others.
White vein comes from younger leaves and is more stimulating and uplifting.
Red vein comes from more mature leaves and is more relaxing or sedating.
Green sits in the middle – balanced and versatile effects – a perfect anytime option.

There is also Gold/Yellow kratom, which is produced from combining leaves from different vein types in order to yield its own distinct profile. Its effects are mixed, much like green vein varieties but higher in potency. If you’re looking for a strain that offers mixed effects with serious strength, check out  Premium Wild Gold Maeng Da.

Vein color and strain are two separate ways of categorizing kratom and both influence the character of the final product, but they mean different things:
Vein color (such as white, green, red) describes the leaf’s maturity and processing method. 
Strain (Maeng Da, Bali, Borneo) refers to the geographic origin or variety of the plant. 

Think of vein color like a category, for instance how citrus can be a category of fruits – whereas strain is more like specific versions within that category; such as lemons, limes and grapefruits.

Plain leaf is the dried, ground kratom leaf at its natural potency – typically around 1-2% mitragynine. It’s the most traditional form of kratom and a common starting point for many users thanks to its versatility and cost effectiveness, making it a great way to experiment with various new strains. Enhanced kratom is a specific product – capsules that contain plain leaf infused with a measured amount of full-spectrum extract to raise concentration and increase potency. Enhanced Capsules contain approximately 4.5% mitragynine – roughly 3x stronger than standard kratom. Note that enhanced kratom is not a beginner product. You can think of the difference between standard kratom vs. enhanced kratom similar to how you might think of a regular coffee vs. a triple espresso.

Enhanced kratom is a product made from plain leaf plus added extract in the same capsule, which retains the familiar character of leaf but with added potency. Extract is a category of kratom concentrates used for making products like gummies, shots and tinctures.

Beginners without a tolerance to kratom’s effects should take smaller amounts based on the suggested dose on the package and their body composition. Generally, a good rule of thumb is to start with about 15 to 20 milligrams of kratom for every kilo of body weight. Be sure to wait one hour after consumption before deciding to take more – kratom can take time to fully kick in, and taking too much too soon is one of the most common mistakes new users make. 

Keep in mind that not all kratom is the same potency. Plain leaf powder and capsules containing 1-2% mitragynine are a good starting point for new users. Enhanced kratom and extract products are significantly stronger and are not generally suitable for most beginners. Starting with a milder strain like White Indo Elephant, Green Hulu Kapuas, or Chocolate Bentuangie offers an easier introduction without too much potency.

Kratom lasts remarkably long if stored properly, which is one of the practical advantages of buying in bulk. Be sure to store in a cool, dry and dark place that avoids humidity and direct sunlight to preserve freshness and its alkaloid content. An airtight container such as a jar or resealable package is best for keeping air and moisture out. Avoid storing kratom near heat sources like stoves or in areas that experience significant temperature fluctuations, such as beside windows or in a car.

Both are extract-based liquid forms of kratom that can be mixed into a beverage to create your own delicious kratom cocktail, but there are some important differences:
Shots are small bottles containing 1-3 high-potency servings. They’re for convenience and immediate use, making them a practical grab-and-go option for those who want fast-acting extract-level potency without any prep. They’re the most accessible entry points into liquid kratom.
Tinctures are significantly more concentrated than shots. Each bottle contains around 15 servings, and a few drops is typically all you need per use.

Both are liquid options that fall under the broader extract category, and are best suited for experienced users.

Plain leaf kratom has a distinctly earthy, sometimes bitter taste which new users may find difficult to swallow. Many choose capsules since they are tasteless, or gummies since they taste good. If you prefer powder, our guide on why kratom tastes the way it does has practical suggestions.

Kratom tea is one of the oldest and most traditional methods of using kratom, with roots in Southeast Asian culture where the leaves were brewed and consumed for generations. It’s made by brewing dried crushed kratom leaves or powder in hot water, similar to how you’d make herbal tea. While some find the taste to be earthy, many people add lemon juice, which is thought to help with extraction by increasing the solubility of its active alkaloids, or mix in honey to balance the bitter taste. The effects from kratom tea are generally comparable to other powder-based formats, but onset time can vary slightly depending on preparation. If you’re interested in one of the oldest methods of kratom consumption, read more in our how to make kratom tea guide which covers brewing preparation in full.

The most important thing to look for when buying kratom online is third-party lab testing. Avoid companies that don’t lab test all their products for contaminants and heavy metals through accredited third-party laboratories – without this, there’s no way to know what’s actually in the product or how strong it is. Reputable vendors list mitragynine percentages clearly, especially on enhanced and extract products. Vendors who rely on vague potency language like “50x” or “ultra enhanced” without lab certificates to back it up should be avoided.

At Mount Kratom, we test every batch for potency and screen for impurities so customers know exactly what they’re getting. Plus, we guarantee satisfaction for all our products.
