Extracts are exactly what they sound like, a highly concentrated form of kratom, so a little can go a long way. They are also very portable, store safely, and keep for a long time. Kratom extracts are popular among veteran users and come in different forms to try. 

Kratom liquid shots, or K shots, are made with a water-based extract combined with other ingredients typically found in energy drinks, like passionflower.

So What Exactly Are Liquid Kratom Shots?

A kratom shot is a form of liquid kratom with additives and can be compared to an energy drink. These shots tend to be single-use and usually come in a small bottle, similar to the brand name energy shots that are widely available. However, because kratom is not regulated federally, you may not be getting safe 100% all-natural Mitragyna Speciosa.

 What Else is in Liquid Shots?

Manufacturers put different types of additives and artificial stabilizers in their kratom shots, and because not all kratom companies follow AKA standards, buying a kratom shot from a gas station may not be as safe or reliable as purchasing kratom from a certified online vendor.

Other common ingredients that can be found in kratom energy shots include L-Theanine, Boswellia, Passionflower, Vegetable glycerin, plus, unnamed natural and artificial stabilizers.

 Are Liquid Kratom Shots Dangerous?

More Water-Based Kratom Concentrates

Water-based extracts are kratom concentrates that are available to buy in liquid or powder form. The water-based extracts are made simply by using kratom leaves and water, not alcohol. The extraction method involves soaking kratom leaves in water and letting them sit in a cold dark place for at least one to two weeks until the alkaloids separate from the plant matter.

Brewed Kratom Tea

Brewing kratom leaves is the easiest way to make kratom concentrates at home, and with a very simple process. All you need is dried kratom leaves or powder, water, a pot, and a stove and this little-known secret to preserve the teas potency, apple cider vinegar.

To brew the perfect kratom tea, follow these two easy steps.

1. Simmer water just below boiling point. Add a splash of apple cider vinegar, then turn off the heat. Add your kratom leaves or powder to the water and let it sit for 10 to 20 minutes. The apple cider vinegar ensures that the beneficial alkaloids do not break down due to heat. Pro tip: If you don’t have apple cider vinegar you can use lemon or lime juice, too.
2. Before you have your tea, add a dash of baking soda to neutralize the acidity of the vinegar. Enjoy as it is or add honey to make it sweet. Be sure to stir your tea continually to allow the alkaloids to mix well with the water.

Kratom Resins

Kratom resins require a more intensive extraction process to produce top-quality high alkaloid concentrations.

The process starts with kratom leaves, water, and acid. The blended mixture is frozen and allowed to rest overnight. After, the frozen mixture is put in boiling water and allowed to simmer. The liquid made from this process is then baked at low temperatures until a tacky consistency is achieved.

People like kratom resin because it is versatile, add it to beverages, or mix it with food. Only use resins sparingly because they contain higher concentrations of alkaloids.

But What About Kratom Tinctures?

Kratom tinctures are commonly processed using an alcohol base. Kratom tinctures follow the same process as water-based extracts, However, you use high-proof ethanol (80% to 99% alcohol concentration) instead of water. The best way to use kratom tinctures is through sublingual administration (placing the tincture under your tongue). Dropper bottles work well with tinctures because the droppers make it easy to dispense. You can learn more about kratom tinctures here.How Much Liquid Kratom Concentrate Should You Take?

Factors such as tolerance, how it’s being used, as well as the strain of kratom you choose will affect the results of your experience. Liquid kratom concentrates are way more potent than regular kratom powder. If you’re ready to try kratom consult with your regular physician before you start. They know your past and present medical history and will be able to determine if kratom is right for helping you achieve your overall wellness goals.

 How to Store Kratom ?

Always store your kratom in a dark, cool place, away from UV light, humidity, and oxygen. Treat your kratom as you would fine teas. There’s evidence that Kratom, when stored incorrectly, eventually will lose potency.
