Kratom tinctures are a form of liquid kratom extract that contains kratom’s naturally occurring alkaloids that come in a convenient, easy-to-use bottle. Instead of consuming kratom in a pre-measured shot, most kratom tinctures come with a dropper to allow for a more precise measurement of a serving, offering you more control of your experience.
The effects from a kratom tincture tend to kick in within a few minutes. Many people enjoy this medium because it is easier than mixing powder into a liquid (which can taste bitter) or swallowing large capsules.
Kratom tinctures are an excellent choice if you’re looking for a greater overall potency while maintaining precise control over your serving size.
While we can’t speak to what’s in every bottle of kratom tincture for sale on the internet, we know what's inside every bottle of our own.
Each 30mL bottle contains 550mg of mitragynine, the main alkaloid responsible for kratom's uplifting and energizing effects. But because this is a full-spectrum tincture, you're also getting a supporting cast of minor alkaloids that work together to create a more well-rounded experience.
But our tinctures go one step further. On its own, kratom tastes bitter, earthy, and pretty unpleasant. So we've built a formula that makes it taste good while also making the blend more effective.
Our tincture base uses water, vegetable glycerin, and ethyl alcohol to keep the alkaloids dissolved and stable. We also add black pepper extract to help your body with absorption.
Finally, we combine bitter-blockers and tropical flavors, sweetened with stevia and monk fruit, to mask the bitterness.
What’s the best place to buy a kratom tincture? Black Sheep. That is, of course, the short answer.
Right now, there are a lot of fly-by-night brands selling kratom online that haven’t given much thought to sourcing and safety testing.
Black Sheep is made to stand out from the flock. We don’t use buzzwords or convoluted language to market our products. Instead, we focus on making high-quality, small-batch liquid kratom products that are supported by third-party lab testing for potency and safety. And we give you the facts so you can make your own decisions, without getting bogged down in marketing fluff.
Kratom tinctures and other similar liquid extracts offer faster onset and more predictable timing. For those who tried kratom in the more traditional format (i.e., powder), this is one of the biggest differences you’ll notice with tinctures.
Most people report feeling effects within 15 to 20 minutes of taking a kratom extract tincture, sometimes even faster, depending on the last time you ate. This is because alkaloids come dissolved in a liquid form, and your body can absorb them much faster than in powder or capsule form, which need to be digested first.
Once the effects hit, they typically last anywhere from two to seven hours, depending on your serving size.
Black Sheep Kratom takes product quality seriously. All our products undergo full-panel testing, which means they are tested for both safety and potency. We also make these third-party test results publicly available, so you can see for yourself that, in every batch, our products are what we say they are.
When enjoyed responsibly by adults, kratom comes with a low risk of serious side effects. But it's always recommended that before you try kratom, you speak with a medical professional to better understand the risks and benefits, as well as how it fits within your personal circumstances.
Finally, steer clear of kratom if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under the influence of alcohol, sedatives, or other substances.
At the federal level, kratom products, including kratom tinctures, are legal. Because kratom isn’t listed under the Controlled Substances Act, there's no nationwide ban.
But what about state laws? In most places, kratom is legal, but in Arkansas, Wisconsin, and Louisiana, there are state-wide bans in place, which means we can't ship there (sorry!). Other states have specific purchase regulations, so do your research before buying.
