Short answer: Kratom leaf powder and capsules contain roughly 1.35% mitragynine by weight. Liquid extracts concentrate that same alkaloid into solution and test between 10.085 and 16.09 mg per millilitre. Shots are extracts packaged as single servings, ranging from 20mg of mitragynine per serving up to 241mg per bottle. The formats are not interchangeable, and the difference is measurable rather than a matter of opinion.

Most kratom guides describe how each format is supposed to make you feel. We don’t, because feel is subjective and unverified, and it isn’t something a retailer should be asserting. What’s verifiable is what the lab found. Every kratom product we stock carries a Certificate of Analysis with measured alkaloid content, and those numbers vary by roughly 12x between a leaf capsule and a concentrated shot.

What is the difference between kratom extract and kratom powder?
Powder is the whole dried leaf, milled. Extract is the alkaloid fraction pulled out of that leaf and concentrated into a liquid. Same plant, very different concentration.
Put in comparable units: a gram of leaf powder at 1.35% mitragynine carries about 13.5mg. A single millilitre of The Kratom Company RED Liquid Extract Shot carries 16.09mg. One millilitre of liquid therefore delivers more mitragynine than a full gram of powder.
This is the single most important thing to understand before switching formats. Anyone moving from powder to extract should treat it as an unfamiliar product rather than a compact version of a familiar one.
Kratom powder and capsules
These are the same material in two packages. Capsules remove the measuring and the taste; powder is cheaper per gram and lets you control the portion exactly.
The Kratom Company Kratom Capsules ($24.99–$99.99) contain 100% kratom leaf powder with no added botanicals or cannabinoid blends. Three varieties — White Horn, Green Indo, Red Bali — in 75, 150, or 500 capsule bottles. The Certificates of Analysis report mitragynine at approximately 1.35%, 7-hydroxymitragynine below 0.01%, heavy metal screening with passing results, and microbiological testing for Salmonella, E. coli, total plate count, yeast and mould.
The Kratom Company Maeng Da Kratom Capsules ($24.99–$99.99) offer the same three-size structure in Maeng Da material across three strain variants.
The Kratom Company Premium Kratom Extract Capsules ($19.99) sit between the categories — extract material in capsule form, for buyers who want concentration without liquid.
On the powder side, The Kratom Company Kratom Powder and Maeng Da Kratom Powder both run $24.99–$49.99 across three strains.
Hometown Hero’s capsule line comes as Kratom Ignite Capsules 20ct and Kratom Soothe Capsules 20ct at $17.99, or Ignite 100ct and Soothe 100ct tins at $79.99.
Kratom liquid extracts
Extracts trade volume for concentration, and this is where lab numbers become essential.
The Kratom Company Pure Liquid Kratom Extract – 10mL ($9.99, from $19.99) is the most completely documented product in the category. Its Certificate of Analysis, completed by Santé Laboratories using UHPLC-DAD methods, reports:
| Alkaloid | Concentration |
| Mitragynine | 10.085 mg/mL |
| Paynantheine | 1.358 mg/mL |
| Speciociliatine | 0.699 mg/mL |
| Speciogynine | 0.690 mg/mL |
| Total alkaloids | 12.832 mg/mL |
| 7-OH-mitragynine | below 0.010 w/w% |
MIT45 Gold Standard Kratom Extract – 15ml ($14.99, from $21.99) is a triple-refined liquid extract containing 250mg of Mitragyna speciosa extract per bottle. MIT45 is the highest-volume kratom extract brand in the United States.
MIT45 Boost – 52ml ($8.99) is a larger-volume kratom and caffeine blend.
Note that these two report differently — the Pure Liquid gives concentration per millilitre, MIT45 gives total extract content per bottle. Both are legitimate; just don’t compare the raw figures without converting.
Kratom shots
Shots are extracts packaged for single use. Some are straight kratom, some add other botanicals.
The Kratom Company RED Liquid Kratom Extract Shot ($12.99 single, up to $623.52 for a 48-pack) is a 15ml Red Bali extract independently tested by NN Analytics via HPLC:
| Measure | Result |
| Mitragynine | 16.09 mg/mL — 241.33 mg per bottle |
| Total alkaloids | 16.53 mg/mL — 247.88 mg per bottle |
| Speciocygine | 0.40 mg/mL |
| Speciociliatine | 0.04 mg/mL |
| 7-hydroxymitragynine | Not detected |
| Paynantheine, mitraphylline, isorhynchophylline | Not detected |
At 16.09 mg/mL this is the most concentrated liquid we carry — about 60% stronger per millilitre than the Pure Liquid Extract. Available as a single, 12-pack, or 48-pack.
Hometown Hero Kratom Ignite Shots ($9.99) work differently. Each 30ml bottle holds two servings at 20mg mitragynine per serving, built on green Maeng Da and blended with kava, guarana, matcha, cinnamon and cayenne, in a yuzu lemon flavour with bitter blockers. Kratom Soothe Shots ($9.99) are the companion product.
Worth knowing: the Ignite is a multi-botanical formula, not straight kratom. It contains kava, a separate botanical with its own considerations, plus guarana and matcha, which contain caffeine. If you want to understand how kratom alone affects you, start with a single-ingredient product.
Which kratom format is the best value?
With buy-one-get-one-free running across the whole category, the per-unit math changes substantially. Effective cost at BOGO:
| Product | Price | BOGO yield | Effective cost |
| Kratom Capsules 500ct | $99.99 | 1,000 capsules | ~10¢ per capsule |
| Kratom Capsules 75ct | $24.99 | 150 capsules | ~17¢ per capsule |
| Pure Liquid Extract 10mL | $9.99 | 20mL | 50¢ per mL |
| RED Extract Shot, single | $12.99 | 2 × 15ml bottles | 43¢ per mL |
| Kratom Ignite Shots | $9.99 | 4 servings | $2.50 per serving |
The 500-count capsule bottle is the strongest value in the catalogue at roughly ten cents per capsule after BOGO. Among liquids, the RED Shot single is the lowest cost per millilitre while also being the most concentrated.
What do red, green, and white vein kratom mean?
Vein colour refers to the colour of the veins in the leaf at harvest, which reflects leaf maturity and post-harvest drying method. Vendors and long-time users categorise the three differently and buyers develop firm preferences, but published research comparing them under controlled conditions is limited. We describe the categories because they are how the market is organised, not as a claim about what any of them will do.
How do you read a kratom Certificate of Analysis?
Four things to check, in order.
- Alkaloid assay. Mitragynine should be reported as mg/mL for liquids or a percentage for powders. Without this figure you cannot compare two products at all.
- 7-hydroxymitragynine, reported separately. More on this below.
- Contaminant panels. Heavy metals and microbiological screening — Salmonella, E. coli, yeast, mould — matter for any agricultural product imported from Southeast Asia.
- A named laboratory, a date, and a disclosed method. Our reports name Santé Laboratories and NN Analytics, with UHPLC-DAD and HPLC methods respectively. “Lab tested” with no lab, no date and no method is not a Certificate of Analysis.
If a seller cannot produce all four, that itself is information.
What is 7-hydroxymitragynine?
7-OH is a minor alkaloid present naturally in trace amounts in kratom leaf. It has become the primary focus of federal regulatory attention on kratom, directed principally at concentrated 7-OH products rather than conventional leaf material.
This is why credible COAs report it as its own line item. Our reports show it explicitly: the RED Extract Shot lists 7-OH as not detected, the Pure Liquid Extract lists it below 0.010 w/w% against a specification of not more than 2% of total alkaloids, and the capsule line reports below 0.01%.
Is kratom legal in Texas?
Kratom is legal to buy and possess in Texas. It was not affected by the July 2026 reclassification of Delta-8, Delta-10, THC-P and THC-O, because kratom is not a hemp cannabinoid and falls outside that framework entirely. It is likewise unaffected by the federal hemp definition changes scheduled for later this year.
Legality varies by state and by municipality, and a small number of jurisdictions restrict or prohibit it. We ship nationwide where legal — check your local ordinances before ordering.
Kratom Frequently Asked Questions
How should I store kratom?
Keep containers tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat, humidity and direct sunlight. Liquid extracts should be stored upright. Storage conditions matter more for powder and capsules, since moisture is the main enemy of dried leaf material.
How long does kratom stay good?
Properly stored dried leaf and capsules hold up well over time. Alkaloid content in any botanical product degrades gradually with light, heat and air exposure, so buying quantities you’ll actually use is more sensible than stockpiling.
Can I switch between kratom formats?
Yes, but not on a one-for-one basis. Powder and capsules are the same material and interchange directly. Moving between leaf and extract requires recalibrating entirely, because the concentration difference is roughly 12x. Treat a format change as starting with an unfamiliar product.
How many servings are in each product?
It varies. Hometown Hero Kratom Ignite Shots specify two servings per 30ml bottle. MIT45 Gold Standard is a 15ml bottle. Capsule bottles come in 75, 150 and 500 counts. Liquid extracts sold by volume don’t specify serving counts, since portioning is left to the buyer.
Do you ship kratom to every state?
We ship nationwide where legal. Kratom is legal across most of the country, but a small number of states and municipalities restrict or prohibit it. Check your local ordinances before ordering — restrictions can be city-level even where the state permits sales.
Is there a discount for buying kratom in bulk?
Yes. Larger formats cost meaningfully less per unit — the 500-count capsule bottle and the 48-pack extract shot are the two strongest examples. Buy one, get one free currently applies across the whole kratom category, online and in-store, while supplies last.
Things worth saying plainly
Kratom is not risk-free. Regular use can lead to physical dependence, and stopping after sustained use can produce withdrawal. Combining kratom with alcohol, sedatives, opioids or other intoxicating substances raises the risk of adverse effects meaningfully — don’t. If you take prescription medication, speak with your doctor first, as interactions are possible.
We don’t sell kratom as a treatment for anything, and we’d suggest scepticism toward anyone who does.
