Kratom shots, also known as kratom tinctures, are a product that is quickly growing in popularity across the board. They represent an easy to way to take a dose of kratom in liquid form. Taking kratom in liquid form also helps it digest quicker, which benefits kratom users. With so many kratom shots on the market, we’re here to break down the best kratom shot you can buy.
Kratom shots are a form of kratom extract, where kratom vendors will pull the active ingredients known as miytragynine and 7-hydroximitryganine from crushed kratom leaves to create a stronger form of the plant.
In this article we will break down what kratom shots are, how they are made, how much they cost, and finally which kratom shots are the best for you to find and buy.
What is a kratom shot?
Before covering what kratom shots are the best to buy and how to buy them, let’s cover what a kratom shot is.
Based on the brief overview above, a kratom shot is a liquid form of kratom extract. The manufacturing process consists of the following:
Usually, kratom vendors will perform an extraction method of some kind on powder or crushed-leaf kratom. Extraction methods can involve adding acidic ingredients to the kratom and then heating the mixture. It can also involve using strong high-proof alcohol to add to kratom and then straining and heating the mixture.
What usually results from this process is a ‘resin’, which is a hard material which contains no kratom powder but all of the active ingredients.
Once the extract is created, it is blended into water or another liquid which becomes the kratom shot.
Kratom shots are usually single-serving, in single-use containers that are then discarded. Not all kratom shots are single-serving, some are larger and will technically contain 3 doses per container. See the image below for a kratom shot that comes with 3 servings per tincture:
Kratom shots can be an effective way to consume kratom as long as you can accept the single-serving nature. It’s probably not a good idea to exclusively consume kratom shots, because they are not cost-effective.

Speaking of cost, in the next section we will cover how much it costs to buy kratom shots.
How much do kratom shots cost?
Kratom shots are usually one of the most expensive ways to consume kratom. This is because of the same reasons from the section above. They are single-serving portions of kratom extract, which means a lot of manufacturing effort goes into them. It costs money to portion-out liquid extract into individual containers.
Compare this manufacturing process to the simple process of selling kratom powder. With kratom powder, it’s simply filled into a bag and sold to the consumer. With kratom shots, there is an intensive manufacturing and filling process that takes place. The extraction process requires a lot of equipment and chemistry experience to complete. This is why the price comes higher than kratom powder.
Because of the intensive manfucturing process, kratom shots cost around $3-$5 each per serving. This means that you can expect to pay about $12 for kratom shot/kratom tincture with 3 servings.
This price can vary greatly. Some vendors with high quality manufacturing processes and testing procedures will charge more per kratom shot. Other vendors may sell cheap kratom shots, but these products will lack in quality compared to the expensive kratom shots.
This is a significant markup compared to kratom powder. Kratom powder usually only costs about $0.50-$1.50 per serving when you consider an average kratom dose size of about 2-5 grams.
For this reason, consider kratom shots to be a luxury kratom item. It’s a good idea to stick with simply buying kratom powder, because kratom powder is a product that you can turn into different forms at home. For example, you can easily make kratom tea at home using kratom powder. Raw kratom powder from a good vendor will always be the easiest and cheapest way to get and consume kratom.
We did a full breakdown on all kratom product prices here.
Where can you buy kratom shots?
Kratom shots are available widely from online kratom vendors. This means that your usual favorite kratom vendor online probably stocks kratom shots.
Kratom shots from vendors can be shipped to you just like any other kratom product. Typically, if you buy a few at a time, they will be packaged in a larger container to hold a few shots at a time.
Additionally, it is possible to find kratom shots at stores that sell kratom products such as smoke shops or convenience stores.
Buying kratom shots from convenience stores or smoke shops can be very easy and convenient, but they often come at a high price. Generally, almost all kratom products you can find in a store will be more expensive than the prices you find online, even when you consider shipping costs.
Kratom shots from a physial store will run you around $4-$10 each.
It’s important to mention that there are some key risks when trying to buy kratom shots from a store: Kratom shots you can find in stores will often have no brand on them. Unbranded products mean you cannot look up the vendor on the internet to check it’s quality before buying it.
Secondly, kratom shots in stores also have questionable quality standards. With unbranded products, there’s no telling what ingredients are inside the shot. Furthermore, the strength of the kratom shot may be very weak. We don’t recommend buying kratom shots in stores due to the primary risks of quality and safety concerns. Stick to vendors with high reputation!
What is the best kratom shot?
Now that we’ve given you plenty of information on what kratom shots are and where you can find them, we will cover which kratom shots are the best.
To get the best kratom shots with the highest quality for your money, use a popular online vendor such as Kraken or Happy Hippo kratom. These websites are very popular with kratom users and offer quality-tested products that are safer than others.
On kratom vendor websites, here are the best kratom shots:
- Ultra Enhanced Indo (UEI) Kratom Shots
- Gold Reserve / OG Gold Kratom Shots
These types of kratom shots are sure to be the strongest and best for your money. They contain high quality kratom extract from powders that kratom users already love.
Secondly, depending on the vendor website you are on, we also recommend looking at user reviews of the kratom shots. This can be very helpful in deciding which kratom shot is the best. Keep in mind, however, that on smaller vendor websites the user reviews are often fake. Stick to popular vendors to avoid buying kratom products with fake reviews.
Both the ultra enhanced indo and gold kratom shots contain kratom powders and strains that have good reputations. Some of these ingredients and manufacturing processes have been the same for years, which allows the vendors to have confidence in their products.
Other Kratom Extract Suggestions
We’ve covered kratom shots, but it’s also a good idea to consider other kratom extracts available on the market. Other kratom extracts were popular long before kratom shots became a popular product to buy and consume.
We recommend checking out the following other kratom extract products:
- Enhanced Kratom: Kratom powder with extract added to it
- Enhanced Kratom Capsules: Kratom extract filled in capsules
- Kratom Tea Capsules: Easy tablets you can use to make strong kratom tea
This list just scratches the surface of the amount of kratom extracts on the market. There are a variety of extracts you can try, and the list keeps growing as kratom users demand more types of extracts.
As always, we also recommend simply sticking with high quality kratom powders as your main source of kratom. While there are a lot of kratom extracts available, the best kratom products will still usually be kratom powder that you can turn into kratom tea or even make your own kratom extract with.
Conclusion
To wrap up this article, we will cover a few of the key points.
The best kratom shots will come from vendors that are popular with positive reputations and reviews. We recommend carefully browsing kratom vendors to find the best kratom shots. Once you find a vendor you would like to buy kratom shots from, always check the user reviews to see if other users like the kratom shot or not.
Secondly, avoid buying kratom shots from stores, unless you have a strong reason to do so. Kratom shots you can find in stores will often be unbranded and will have quality and safety issues. It’s a good idea to stick to the big vendors when shopping for kratom extracts in general!
