With the kratom market always expanding, there are many options for powders and extracts. When you visit a vendor website, you will find many different types of kratom products available. It’s hard to decide what to buy, so in this post we’re breaking down the best kratom available online and in-store.
As a quick note, check out Wikipedia for more helpful kratom information.
Which kratom product is best for me?
The most important thing to first decide is whether you or not you want to experiment with kratom extract products or regular kratom powder.
The most popular product across all kratom markets is regular kratom powder. This type of kratom is the most untouched and unmodified. Kratom powder comes from the kratom leaves that are crushed into leaves and then again ground into a powder. Many people prefer kratom powder for this reason; it has not been changed in any way.
If you are new to using kratom, we recommend sticking with regular kratom powder until you get more experience. Kratom powder is the best because you can control your dose easily and you can even make kratom tea.
Because of all the dose options and the ability to make tea, kratom powder is the most versatile product.
We have a guide on making kratom tea here.
If you have experience with kratom, we recommend trying out a kratom extract.
Kratom extracts are products that contain the active alkaloids in kratom, mitragynine and 7-hydroximitragynine, in higher volumes than regular kratom powder. There are many types which we will cover below.
What is the best type of kratom powder?
Even with simply kratom powder, there are many options!
Different types of kratom online
When you open a vendor website, you will see options like “Green Maeng Da” or “Red Bali”
The names of kratom refer to a few different things. The first part of the name refers to a location. For example, “Bali” refers to Bali, Indonesia. This means this kratom powder comes from kratom that they grow in Bali.
Secondly, the different colors refer to the maturity stage of the kratom at harvest. In general, green kratom means the kratom plant is young at harvest and red means it is mature at harvest. The different stages of the kratom tree lifecycle involve different levels of the active alkaloids in kratom.
We did a full breakdown on the different types of kratom in this post here.
Red vein kratom vs. white vein
So, now that you understand a bit more about what the different types indicate, it’s time to make a choice. If you are looking for more of a relaxing effect, then you should go for red vein kratom, because of the alkaloid profile.
If you are looking to get a more stimulating effect from kratom, then we recommend choosing a white vein kratom. White vein kratom has an alkaloid profile that produces more of a stimulating effect.
Of course, every user will experience kratom differently. Some people find all types of kratom to feel the same, while others report a strong difference.
Best kratom by location
Many people swear by Bali kratom, while others don’t notice a difference between locations. In general, you can’t go wrong when deciding between different regions for kratom. The type of kratom matters more for the color you choose than the location.
Popular locations for good kratom are Thai and Bali kratom powders.
So, what’s the best kratom powder available?
There is no clear answer, as everyone experiences different kratom their own way. We recommend looking at user reviews of the different kratom on the vendor website to decide which is best for you. Try to find kratom powders that have 5 star reviews from many different users.
Use Google.com to search for popular kratom vendors, always!

Best type of kratom extract to buy
Just like kratom powders, there’s a growing number of kratom extracts available.
What are the different types of kratom extracts?
Kratom extracts come in a variety of forms. The most popular forms are the following:
- Enhanced Kratom Powder

Usually, kratom extract products will contain a standard amount of alkaloids. This means that each serving of the extract will contain the same amount of active alkaloids in each. This way, you always know how much kratom extract you’re taking. This is a big reason for why extracts are so popular.
When it comes to buying kratom extract, the best thing to buy will come down to your preference. If you prefer taking kratom in capsule form, then you can buy plenty of different types of kratom extract capsules.
Additionally, if you like traditional kratom powders then your favorite kratom extract may be enhanced kratom. Enhanced kratom is a mixture of kratom powder and kratom alkaloid extract, meaning you get a nice balance of effects.
Lastly, kratom tinctures are a liquid form of kratom extract. These can be great if you like quick and easy on-the-go methods for taking kratom. If you value convenience over everything, then kratom tinctures will be your best buy.
The overall top extract you can buy
Our overall favorite type of kratom extract is enhanced kratom! It represents a great product because you can treat it just like kratom powder. You take it the same way as kratom powder, which makes it easy. Secondly, you can make excellent kratom tea using enhanced kratom.
As a final note, kratom extracts can be expensive, more expensive than kratom powder. Enhanced kratom is the most cost-effective type of kratom extract!
Extract buying tips

Avoid buying kratom extract products from small, unknown vendors without a reputation. This is when the products will be manufactured cheaply and poorly. This usually ends up in wasted money and time.
Where to buy the best kratom?
The best kratom is found from popular vendors online and not in a store!
When you’re looking for the best kratom you can buy, you have the choice to buy online or from a store. Depending on where you live, you may be able to find a number of stores near you that sell kratom.

Shopping online allows you to try a bunch of different types in one order. This way, you can find which types and products are best for you.
When you’re shopping in a store, you have to take a gamble on the kratom products and there’s no telling how good the quality will be or if it’s really worth your money. The kratom buying process is not worth rushing, we recommend taking your time and finding a product you really want before spending money.
Which kratom is best for me?
Based on everything we covered in this article, there’s no one answer for which kratom product is best. We recommend taking the basic steps of finding a popular vendor online and finding a product with good reviews.
