Buying Kratom Part 2—Your Guide on Everything from Kratom Tablets to Gummies & Beyond

With kratom's ever-increasing popularity, many different types of kratom products have flooded the market. But with so many options, choosing the right form can feel overwhelming.

This blog post is your one-stop guide to navigating the diverse landscape of kratom products. We'll delve into the pros and cons of each form, helping you discover your perfect match. 

 

Demystifying Different Kratom Product Forms

Kratom comes in many different forms. Let's explore each one and who benefits most from it.

 

Kratom Powder

 

Advantages

Versatility

Kratom powder offers the most flexibility for adjusting. You can easily measure it and mix it into various liquids (juice, smoothies, and water) for consumption.

Potentially Cost-Effective

Compared to other kratom forms like capsules or drinks, powder can be a more economical option.

 

Disadvantages

The Mess

Kratom powder can be messy to handle, especially for beginners. Spills and imprecise measurements can occur.

Difficult to Measure Accurately

Powder can make precise measurements challenging, particularly for small doses. This can be an issue for those seeking consistent and controlled consumption.

Taste

Kratom powder has a bitter taste that some people find unpleasant.

 

What Else to Keep In Mind

Quality—The type of kratom you buy is essential. Choose reputable vendors who provide lab-tested kratom powder to guarantee purity, potency, and absence of contaminants.

Dosage—Start with a low dose and gradually increase as needed to assess your body's response. There's no one-size-fits-all approach, and responsible consumption is crucial.

Mixing Tips—Mixing kratom powder with acidic juices like grapefruit juice might enhance its effects. Conversely, mixing milk or a fatty beverage might also slow absorption.

 

Who Might Benefit from Kratom Powder?

  • Individuals who want to prioritize flexibility and precise control over their dosage.
  • Individuals who are comfortable with a potentially messy experience and bitter taste.
  • People looking for a potentially cost-effective option.

 

Who Should Consider Alternative Kratom Forms?

  • Beginners who find measuring powder challenging.
  • People who dislike the taste of kratom and prefer a more convenient option.
  • Those seeking a pre-measured and mess-free experience.

 

Kratom Tablets & Capsules

Advantages

Convenience

Tablets and capsules are pre-measured in their doses, making them incredibly easy and convenient to consume. No need for messy mixes.

Discretion

Kratom capsules and tablets are also discreet, making it easy to take them with you while you travel without attracting any attention.

Standardized Doses

Another benefit is that tablets and capsules also provide consistent and standardized doses, taking the guesswork out of potential inconsistencies.

No Taste

Tablets and capsules also shield the infamous bitter taste of kratom, making them easier to take if you don't like the taste of kratom.

 

Disadvantages

Capsules Are Less Flexible

Unlike powder, capsules offer less flexibility in adjusting the dosage. You're limited to pre-measured amounts.

However, some kratom tablets, such as 7OHMZ, are perforated, allowing you to easily split the tablet to adjust the dosage. 

Higher Cost

In comparison with kratom powder, pre-measured capsules or tablets might be a slightly less cost-effective option.

 

What Else to Keep in Mind

Quality—Just like with powder, make sure your capsules or tablets come from reputable vendors using the third-party testing options we listed above.

Fillers and Additives—Be wary of capsules or tablets containing unnecessary fillers or additives. Reputable vendors will clearly list all ingredients.

Size—Capsules and tablets come in various sizes. Choose a size comfortable to swallow and consider the pre-measured dose per capsule in relation to your needs.

 

Who Might Kratom Tablets and Capsules Be Good For?

  • Beginners who prefer a convenient and mess-free experience.
  • People who don't like the taste of kratom.
  • Individuals seeking pre-measured and consistent doses.
  • Those who prioritize discretion.

 

Who Should Consider Alternative Kratom Forms?

  • People who prioritize the ability to adjust doses precisely.
  • Individuals looking for cheaper options.

 

Where to Buy Kratom Tablets

At Eluxir, tablets are our favorite form of kratom due to their convenience (no more toss and wash!), consistency, quality, and dosage flexibility (unlike capsules, they can be divided easily). Specifically, we hand-picked 7OHMZ as our inaugural product offering because it delivers by far the cleanest and highest quality kratom experience of any product we've tried. It does so by isolating pure 100% 7-OH, the most potent and sought-after alkaloid in the kratom leaf.

Kratom Drinks

 

Advantages

Convenient—Pre-made kratom drinks provide convenience and ease of consumption—no more measuring, mixing, or preparation.

Discreet—Like capsules, kratom drinks are a discreet option for on-the-go consumption.

Flavor Masking—Some kratom drinks might be flavored to mask the bitter taste of kratom, making them more palatable.

 

Disadvantages

Limited Variety—There are fewer kratom drinks compared to your options for kratom powder or kratom tablets.

More Expensive—Convenience often comes at a premium, meaning kratom might be less cost-friendly than its powder, capsule, or tablet counterparts.

Dosage Variability—It's not easy to determine the exact kratom content in some pre-made drinks, making precise dosing difficult.

 

What Else to Keep in Mind

Ingredients

Analyze the ingredients list thoroughly and identify the primary ingredient to cut out fillers and additives.

Vendor Reputation

Like all kratom products, it's essential to verify the vendors and the source of the drink.

Start Low

Remember that dosage varies, so start with a small amount of the drink to see how your body responds.

 

Who Might Kratom Drinks Be Good For?

  • Individuals who like convenient dosage.
  • People who don't like how kratom powder tastes.
  • Anyone who has trouble swallowing capsules.

 

Who Should Consider Alternative Forms of Kratom

  • People who like precise dosage control.
  • Individuals seeking more cost-effective options.
  • Anyone who wants full transparency about the exact content in their dosage.

 

Kratom Gummies

 

Advantages

Convenience and Discretion—Here again, kratom gummies offer a discreet and convenient way to consume kratom. They're pre-measured, portable, and eliminate the need for mixing or measuring.

Potentially Good Tasting—Unlike kratom powder, gummies are easily formulated with flavors that hide the unpleasantness, making them more palatable.

Precise Dosing—Like capsules, reputable vendors might offer kratom gummies with a clearly defined kratom dose per gummy.

 

Disadvantages

Novelty and Potential Inconsistencies—Kratom gummies are somewhat new. This means they could be inconsistent in quality control or have the potential for inaccurate dosing across different brands.

Unclear Regulation—The legality and regulation of kratom gummies can vary by region.

Limited Availability—Kratom gummies might be less readily available compared to other kratom forms.

 

What Else to Keep in Mind

When thinking about kratom gummies, make sure you consider the vendor's reputation via reviews, etc. Prioritize lab testing results and transparent information about the kratom content per gummy. Also, it's important to keep in mind that there is a potential for misuse with kratom gummies. Keep your gummies stored away from where children can reach them to avoid issues.

 

Who Might Kratom Gummies Be Good For?

Anyone who prioritizes convenience, discretion, and a potentially pleasant taste. People who want pre-measured dosing options are also in luck with gummies.

 

Who Might Prefer Alternative Kratom Forms

Anyone concerned about potential inconsistencies or inaccurate dosing in kratom gummies should opt for a different form. Additionally, people who prioritize established and well-regulated kratom forms, like powders and capsules, should avoid gummies. Gummies could present another issue if you have children and are concerned about accidental ingestion.

 

Our Final Recommendation

At Eluxir, we favor kratom tablets. They're consistent, easy to use (avoid that bitter kratom taste!), tend to be higher quality, and can be easily divided to allow for more precise dosing.

We hand-selected 7OHMZ as our sole kratom product because it provides the cleanest and most exceptional kratom experience we've encountered by a mile. This is achieved through its composition of pure 100% 7-OH, the most potent and sought-after kratom alkaloid (of which there are 50+). Importantly, 7OHMZ's pure 7-OH composition has been third-party lab tested and verified, setting it apart from competitors.
