KRATOM TINCTURE VS EXTRACT: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE AND WHICH IS BETTER?

It’s easy to confuse yourself when buying kratom online. Kratom comes in a lot of forms - some traditional, some modern and there are plenty of kratom products available. 

In this blog, we take a deeper look into two incredibly strong yet super convenient forms of kratom: Kratom Extract and Kratom Tincture. 

So, how does tincture vs extract compare? And more importantly, which one is better for your needs? Let’s dive in!

Overview of Kratom

Kratom is a tropical evergreen tree native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. The leaves of the Mitragyna speciosa tree have been known to promote overall well-being across the region.

In the US, kratom is now available as a dietary supplement. Kratom contains over 30 natural alkaloids, with Mitragynine being the most abundant. These alkaloids provide both uplifting and relaxing effects.

What is Kratom Extract?

To understand the difference between kratom extract vs tincture, let’s take a look at extracts first. All extracts are generally concentrated forms of natural herbs.

Kratom extract is a broader term that refers to any highly concentrated form of kratom derived from its leaves. You may have heard kratom extracts to be either full-spectrum or mainly mitragynine-based.

Super Speciosa extract products are full-spectrum as our leaf extract contains all the alkaloids.

However, only mitragynine content is labeled since it is the most abundant and a consistent measure of overall effects. This is also the accepted standard across the kratom industry.

Typically, the extraction process involves soaking kratom leaves or powder in a solvent to extract the alkaloids and then evaporating the solvent to leave behind a concentrated extract.

Kratom extract products include tinctures, shots, liquids, gummies, soft gels, and enhanced capsules. Here’s our take on the best kratom extracts and a full-length guide on how to use kratom extracts.

What is Kratom Tincture?

Notice that tinctures are included in the list of kratom extract products. This is because kratom tincture is a liquid form of kratom extract. Kratom tinctures or liquid shots are liquid kratom extract products with similar ingredients.

Tinctures are often preferred for their convenience and versatility. With a precise dropper, you can enjoy the benefits of kratom quickly, whether taken sublingually, orally, or mixed into your favorite beverage.

Super Speciosa’s Watermelon Kratom Tincture contains 360 mg of mitragynine per bottle for a total of 6 servings. Each 5 ml serving (5 droppers) contains 60 mg of mitragynine, ensuring a consistent and satisfying experience every time.

Kratom Tincture vs Extract: Which is Right For You?

Ease of Use and Convenience

Tinctures rank at the top of the list of kratom extract products in terms of convenience and ease of use. Our tincture is a highly concentrated liquid and 5 droppers equal 60 mg of mitragynine.

The refreshing taste of watermelon makes this tincture enjoyable on its own or when mixed into your favorite beverages like mocktails, juice, or water.

Our other two liquid shots: Super Feels Chill Vibes and Slingshot also offer similar convenience but you also have to measure the shots on your own.

Other kratom extract products such as gummies, soft gels, and enhanced capsules are equally convenient as they are pre-measured and ready for consumption.

Enhanced powder is the least convenient of all extract products as it requires preparation.

Concentration and Strength

Our Watermelon Kratom Tincture packs more mitragynine per bottle (360 mg) and hence delivers a total of 6 servings.

Compared to our Slingshot (120 mg), the tincture offers three times the total mitragynine content per bottle. Both deliver 60 mg per serving.

Other extract products contain varying amounts of mitragynine content: gummies contain 35mg each. In contrast, each Jolt Kratom Extract Soft Gel contains 15mg each. 

Our enhanced kratom powder contains about 2% mitragynine content per serving, and our enhanced kratom capsules contain at least 35mg of mitragynine each. Our enhanced kratom products are made with a blend of extract powder and raw leaf kratom powder, so mitragynine levels may vary slightly.

Absorption and Onset Time

Extract products generally have higher bioavailability and may feel stronger than the natural forms of kratom. This means the effects may also kick in faster.

Tinctures and Shots have the fastest onset time with gummies and powder not lagging far behind. Softgels and capsules may be slightly slower because of their timed release.

Taste and Flavor

Most of our extract products are flavored to provide a palatable and enjoyable kratom experience. Our tincture is watermelon-flavored, the slingshot is blackberry-flavored, and our gummies are available in blueberry, mango, and strawberry flavors.

In comparison, soft gel and enhanced capsules are tasteless. However, the powder is naturally herbal in taste.

Versatility

Our tincture is probably the most versatile of the lot. It comes with a 1 ml dropper so you can easily customize your serving size plus it is super compact to drop in your pocket or backpack for consumption anytime, anywhere.

Other extract products offer versatility in terms of portability such as gummies, capsules, soft gels, and liquid shots but do not offer customizable servings.

In contrast, the enhanced powder offers precision in serving size but requires preparation, unsuitable for on-the-go use.

Cost

Here’s a cost comparison of all our extract products:

Watermelon Kratom Tincture - $33.99

Slingshot Liquid Kratom Extract - $13.99 ($7.00 per serving)

Super Feels Chill Vibes: Kava & Kratom Shot - (60ml) $9.99 ($5.00 per serving)

Enhanced Kratom Capsules - $34.99 ($3.50 per serving)

Jolt Kratom Extract Soft Gels -  $15.99 ($3.20 per serving)

Extra Strength Kratom Gummies - $11.99 ($3.00 per serving)

Dua Enhanced Kratom Powder - $18.99 ($1.90 per serving)

So, Which is Better?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer—you must choose what fits all your requirements and preferences. If you have a busy schedule and would like to keep your kratom with you; choose from any portable extract products that fit your budget and taste.

It’s best to try each product and stick with the one that delivers the best experience for you.
