At a very basic level, Kratom liquid is merely Kratom in liquid form. This refers to several products made with different Kratom strains.
The main difference between powder and liquid is that liquid Kratom typically indicates an extract, while powder is just the dried, raw plant material. Although, you can find Kratom extract in powder form.
Kratom extracts undergo an alkaloid extraction process that makes them much more potent than the raw powder. So, you can take a much smaller serving and still get very advanced effects.
Some manufacturers will mix in other additives to enhance the flavor or drinking experience of the extract. It’s also important to note that Liquid Kratom Extracts are usually more expensive than Kratom powder.
Note: We strongly recommend using Kratom extracts in moderation. Frequent Kratom use will cause you to develop a tolerance, and extracts build your tolerance even faster.
Managing your Kratom tolerance is remarkably important. Be mindful!
4 Types of Liquid Kratom Products
If you’re interested in trying liquid Kratom, the first thing you should do is decide which product you want to use. There are several different types, and we’re going to briefly discuss the most common ones.
Liquid Kratom Extract
Kratom extract is the first product that comes to mind when hearing “liquid Kratom”.
Extracts undergo an extensive extraction process to isolate the main alkaloids (Mitragynine and 7-Hydroxymitragynine). The result of this process is an extremely concentrated liquid extract.
Kratom Shots
Kratom shots are easily the most convenient type of liquid Kratom. You may have seen them sold at your local gas station or smoke shop.
Essentially, it’s Kratom extract combined with other energy-enhancing ingredients and flavoring. Think of the infamous “5-hour energy shot” - it’s a similar concept. They’re intended to be a quick, easy dose of Kratom for the on-the-go user.
Kratom Tinctures
Tinctures are very similar to extracts, but they have a slightly different extraction process. Kratom tinctures are made by soaking Kratom leaves (or powder) in an ethanol based mixture. The alcohol slowly absorbs the properties of the alkaloids and all of the leftover plant matter is strained out.
The consistency of a tincture is usually thicker than extract, almost like syrup.
Kratom Tea
Kratom Tea doesn’t start out in liquid form, but it does involve using powder to create a tea beverage. Many people will brew up big pots of Kratom Tea to enjoy hot or iced.
The best part about Kratom Tea is that you can choose which strain you want to make it with. You’re in control! Plus, it’s easy (and fun) to make at home. All you need is Kratom powder and water!
