Super Fun Cave Review for Getting Kratom Extracts

super fun cave kratom

Super Fun Cave is a legal high vendor and an online head shop that carries Kratom extracts among other herbal products. They describe themselves as “the premier purveyor of all things adult, including novelties, smoking and concentrate instruments, and a giant selection of mother Earth’s best and brightest ethnobotanicals.” You will find well-known brand names like Kratom Therapy, Captain Kratom, Kaboom Kratom and PEP Kratom sold on their website. They have a number of positive reviews from users online, though they have been blacklisted by one major Kratom vendor review website. Continue reading for our thoughts on whether to purchase from this online store.

Should you purchase Kratom from Super Fun Cave?

Regardless of what you think about Super Fun Cave, their marketing and their customer service, one thing that is clear is that if you purchase your Kratom from this website you can expect to pay more than you would at many other high quality shops. For instance, they carry 4 gram packages of the Captain Kratom 15x extract powder for $31.95. An equivalent 4 gram pack of generic 15x extract sells at Arena Ethnobotanicals for $14.99. Super Fun Cave sells a 15 gram package of Kratom Infusion Maeng Da powder for $29.95 while a similar non-branded product can be purchased from Arena for $22.95 for 30 grams.

The reason for the price difference has to do with the fact that this vendor only supplies branded Kratom extracts and powders. These products are inevitably going to be more expensive than if you were to purchase Kratom solely on the basis of its strain, source and grade. You are paying more for the brand name and marketing. Some people may develop brand loyalty towards a specific company, though in the long run you will end up spending more to receive what is often the same underlying leaf.

Blacklisted by Kratom Association

KratomAssociation.org is a website that maintains a list of certified vendors of Mitragyna Speciosa to advise consumers and pursue the advancement of responsible selling in the industry. They are home to a member base of 13,000+ users and a major component of the online Kratom community. The Kratom Association has decided to blacklist Super Fun Cave as a vendor that you should avoid. Their rationale for this is based on Super Fun Cave’s promotion of Kratom as a legal high and because they sell it alongside imitation illicit drugs.

We are inclined to agree that representing Kratom as a legal high is not appropriate marketing for this natural healing herb. It both encourages potentially irresponsible behavior from a select number of consumers who may abuse it and it makes it more likely that a ban will be passed in the future. The legal status of Kratom in the USA is tenuous at the moment with several states having passed or considering making it an illegal substance. This fight to keep it legal is not helped by the association of Kratom with “getting high” or with other synthetic drugs.

When you instead highlight the natural benefits of this plant for relieving pain symptoms and improving anxiety and depression in a drug-free way, the case for protecting Kratom use is much easier to understand. The majority of individuals who use this herb take it to improve their physical and mental health and use it in dosages that are safe and enhance mental faculties as opposed to dimming them. It ought to be seen as a natural mood supplement and not associated with other drugs that are dangerous and offer no legitimate medical benefits.

As a consumer, your decision to purchase Kratom from one vendor or another is an economic vote for that company’s marketing practices. Unfortunately, if the conversation surrounding this plant is dominated by companies like Super Fun Cave, it is much more likely that we will one day wake up to find Kratom leaves illegal across the USA. For these reasons, we recommend that you buy Kratom from a vendor who specializes in natural herbs and botanicals rather than the Super Fun Cave website.

OPMS Kratom: Review of Capsules and Liquid Effects

opms kratom review

Organically Purified Mitragyna Speciosa – known more commonly as OPMs Kratom – is a leading brand of Kratom extract capsules and tinctures. This brand is revered as one of the strongest available due to its proprietary extraction method. Many reviews posted online cite this as the best Kratom for sale in 2014 with excellent effects for pain relief, anxiety, euphoria and treating addiction. Before buying OPMs Kratom, you should consider the fact that it is more expensive and it may lead to a higher risk of side effects and tolerance than other similar products.

What is in OPMs Kratom?

OPMs is a highly concentrated extract form of Maeng Da Kratom that is sold in either capsule or liquid tincture form. The hallmark of O.P.M.s. Kratom is a specialized extraction process which they say involves high pressured cold water as opposed to the typical hot water or alcohol solvent. This reportedly produces an extract that preserves as much as 95% of the alkaloid content of the leaf. OPMs claims that this “is more than any other known extraction process to date”.

This claim seems to be supported by its many customers who have posted glowing reviews of the product on a number of web communities dedicated to Mitragyna Speciosa. However, there are some missing pieces of information that would be good to know prior to purchasing this extract. Reliable vendors and suppliers should tell you the extraction factor achieved with their Kratom leaf. For example, most extracts will be marked as being 15, 25x or 50x potency but we do not get this information from OPMs. This can make it difficult to know the precise dosage to you.

Buying OPMs Kratom capsules

O.P.M.S. Kratom is also one of the most expensive extract products we have ever seen. On the Kratom-K website you can purchase it in packages of 2 capsules for $14.95 which is an effective price of $7.48 per capsule. Many other high quality extract capsules will sell in the $2 – $4 range each, though again we would need to know the prices extraction factor in order to make an appropriate comparison. The tincture is even more expensive with 8 mL of liquid Kratom selling for $19.95 per bottle. They say that this amount contains the extract alkaloid content of 12 grams of Maeng Da leaf.

Here it is worth noting the economics of purchasing OPMs versus purchasing crushed Maeng Da leaf or powder. You can buy non-extract Maeng Da powder for $22 per ounce which works out to an effective price of $8.80 per 12 grams. That means if we compare directly with the tincture, you are paying almost 2.3x more to buy OPMs liquid extract versus the raw material. For some, this price may be justified for the convenience or the perceived higher strength of OPMs Kratom. But for regular or semi-regular users, it ends up making a lot more sense to buy the cheaper crushed leaves or powder.

Extracts vs Non-Extracts
There seems to be a common misconception in Kratom marketing to suggest that extracts are somehow better or give a stronger effect than unaltered Kratom powder or crushed leaf. This is somewhat misleading: an extract consists simply of the alkaloids from the Kratom leaf that have been removed from some of the plant matter so that they are more concentrated. In other words, if you are using a 15x extract, instead of consuming 7.5 grams of powder, you would only need 500 mg of extract in order to get the same effects.

The effects are not going to be that different (unless the powder has been enhanced with some type of synthetic alkaloid… in which case you want to avoid these products entirely). It’s just that you will need to take a smaller dosage to achieve your desired results. It also makes the packaging process much easier since the average capsule can hold 500 mg of powder. If you were to use regular strength powder, you would need to swallow 15 capsules as opposed to only one for a 15x Kratom extract.

OPMs Review

In closing, we would like to repeat that ratings for this product in the Kratom community have been very positive and there are a number of testimonials online that praise its effects. This should certainly be taken into account when deciding whether to buy OPMs. However, you should also remember that OPMs is a natural non-enhanced extract that is made from Maeng Da leaf. This means you should experience the same effects if you were to use the equivalent amount of Maeng Da powder versus OPMs Kratom capsules. There is also a lot of evidence that using extracts makes it more likely you will develop tolerance to Kratom alkaloids or experience side effects due to excessively high dosages. It may not be worth paying the higher price for this product – especially if you are intended to use it over a long period of time.

One other point that we would like to make is that it is clear that the acronym OPMs Kratom is intended to imply a connection between this leaf and opium. We have some qualms against the marketing of Kratom as a “legal high” or an opioid substitute. It leads to potentially unsafe use of these products and also threatens the future legality of all Kratom. It is more likely to be made illegal if the perception in the general public is that individuals are using it as a drug instead of an herbal health supplement. We would prefer if the marketing of Kratom focused instead on the natural benefits of this plant and did not forge a further connection with opioids.

Note: OPMS Kratom should not be confused with Kratom OPM (Organic Pleasure Management) which is a completely distinct brand of extracts. Of the two, OPMS is the more established brand. The OPM products have largely been stylized to resemble the original, but they are two separate companies. Some vendors have posted warnings about the presence of counterfeit OPMs Kratom in the marketplace and have warned users to always look for the serial and lot numbers printed on the front and back of the authentic packages.

Kratom-K Review: Is This Vendor Trustworthy?

kratom k review

Kratom-K.com has become a go-to destination for anyone looking to buy Kratom online. This California-based company has distinguished themselves by providing a large marketplace which offers almost all of the popular extract Kratom brands sold today. While their unbranded Kratom capsules and powders are slightly more expensive than other vendors, they do carry the largest selection of strains and products compared to any other store online. User reviews on quality and customer service are consistently positive as well.

Kratom-K Review

Kratom-K is an ethnobotanical retailer operated by Nine2Five LLC in Oceanside, California. Their model appears to be to operate as an Amazon-like hub for the sale of Kratom products, bringing together a wide range of brands, extracts and types of leaves along with consumer reviews. You can also purchase other medicinal herbs from them including Salvia, Amanita Muscaria (Fly Agaric), Ayahuasca, Kava Kava and moe. They are popular for offering free shipping on all orders over $75 and for accepting Bitcoin as a payment method.

The list of Kratom strains you can buy is indeed extensive and there are many varieties you can find here that you may have trouble finding elsewhere. They sell three different Bali strains as well as Red, White and Green Borneo strains, Green Malay Kratom, three types of Maeng Da, an Indo Kratom, Sumatran strains, Thai, Vietnam, Bentuangie and Riau Kratom leaves. They also carry several blends, a host of extracts such as Golden Reserve, UEI Kratom, Full Spectrum Isolate Extract, several liquid tinctures, 20x resin, and Kratom tea bags. Finally, you can also purchase many of the top-selling branded Kratom products from popular names such as Captain Amsterdam, Kratom Infusion, and Kratom Therapy to more obscure extracts like XXX Kratom, White Rabbit Kratom, and Club 13.

Pricing & Buying

The wide-ranging selection truly is the trademark of Kratom-K with no other vendor coming close. It will allow even the most discriminating of consumers to find something that suits their needs. They also regularly add in new vendors and stock to prevent anyone from getting bored too easily. Prices across the board are generally on par with other vendors, though if you are not interested in branded Kratom and want to purchase the plain leaf or powder, you can usually find better deals if you are willing to shop around a bit. As illustration, they sell 28 grams of Red Vein Thai Kratom powder for $20.95 while you can purchase 30 grams of the same strain from Arena Ethnobotanicals for $13.99. (That being said, there are some strains for which Kratom-K offers cheaper prices than Arena such as the Vietnam strain capsules.)

We have one criticism to raise regarding Kratom-K which has to do with the fact that they carry products marketed and sold more as legal highs than herbal health supplements. However, this is indeed more of a criticism of the promotional tactics for some of the “head shop” brands as opposed to a direct reflection of the philosophy of Kratom-K. In general, we would prefer if this website and others did not stock these products and particularly those sold by Mayan Kratom and Lucky Kratom in order to protect the public image of this herb. The former of these companies is owned and operated by a convicted felon and the latter is owned by an individual who was recently charged in an alleged assassination plot (I kid you not) pursued against the owner of the former company. The industry as a whole would be better off if these vendors were not associated with the public reputation of Kratom users.

Conclusion
On the whole, if you do decide to purchase your Kratom powders or extracts from Kratom-K.com, you can rest assured that this is a respected company with many fans in the world of experienced users. The products they carry are viewed as high quality and with fair pricing. In addition, they have developed a reputation for fast shipping and good customer dealings. If you have had any experiences shopping with this online vendor, please share your comments and ratings below to help out your fellow Kratom users.

Mayan Kratom Capsules Review and Criminal Charge Concerns

mayan kratom review

Mayan Kratom is a vendor with a troubled history in the online Kratom community. According to their own numbers, they claim to be the 3rd largest vendor for the Mitragyna Speciosa herb in the United States. They are stocked by many well-regarded retailers such as Kratom-K and in a number of local stores and headshops. However, the criminal history of the owner of the company along with a recent legal controversy has led many in the community to raise questions about some of this company’s practices. They have also been blacklisted by KratomAssociation forum which maintains a program of certified vendors to recommend to new users.

What is Mayan Kratom?

Mayan Kratom bills itself as an FDA-compliant dietary supplement that contains 100% organic and natural Kratom. We get very little other information from the vendor to tell us about the quality of their product. There is no information on their website regarding the strain, source, vein color or harvesting grade for their leaves.

At KratomOnline.org, we believe that any vendor of Kratom should tell you the origin and vein color of their products before you place a purchase. As experienced users know, this information is vital since different strains such as Red Thai and Green Maeng Da can have vastly different properties and lead to vastly different experiences.

Unfortunately, Mayan Kratom sells only a single generic name leaf with an average cost of $25 per ounce. The only selection you have is between purchasing crushed leaf or capsules and this is roughly twice what you can expect to pay for most other Kratom products. Premium Indo or Bali Kratom will usually sell for $11 or $12 per ounce and only super high-potency strains such as Maeng Da warrant a price over $20 per ounce.

CEO Wesley Todd

Much of the press surrounding this company is generated by its CEO Wesley Todd who has made it his personal mission to promote Kratom as a safer alternative to the dangers of prescription pain pills. In one online post on Forbes, he tells of being in intense pain following a motorcycle accident and becoming dependent on pain medications. Mr. Todd says that after worrying about the potential for lethal side effects as well as the cost of these pain killers, “Finally I found kratom. From the first day I tried kratom I have not eaten another pain pill! Kratom saved my life.”

We certainly applaud his mission and his personal story of success. However, scrutiny into Mayan Kratom was intensified when it was discovered that the owner Wesley Todd was a convicted felon having been charged and found guilty of four separate criminal offenses including one instance of Grand Theft. It seems that since this legal history was discovered, many members of the largest online Kratom forums have begun purchasing their Mitragyna elsewhere and now refuse to patronize this business.

Controversy with Lucky Kratom

Other problems for Mayan Kratom seem to arise from an almost unbelievable assassination plot against its CEO by the owner of arival brand known as Lucky Kratom. According to CBSLocal.com, “Todd’s competitor in Chicago, Lincoln Park resident Michael Pilney, allegedly offered undercover DEA agents seven pounds of cocaine to kill Todd…. Pilney allegedly wanted to maintain his share of the Kratom market, and was upset with Todd because Todd once worked for Lucky Kratom.”

While these matters still remain to be played out in court, there are many in the Kratom community who wonder whether this publicity ultimately damages the brand of this healing herb. Most users of this herb know it as a mentally reviving natural substance with deeply restorative qualities for mood, focus and pain. However, the portrayal in the media is as some sort of dangerous legal opiate high which could not be further from the truth. There is a consensus among users at the KratomAssocation.org forum that Mayan Kratom may be contributing to this negative image both in its marketing and in the actions of its CEO.

Superior Red Dragon Kratom Capsule Reviews, Effects and Experiences

red dragon kratom

Superior Red Dragon is a Kratom leaf strain sold by Kratom Therapy that is said to be relaxing, euphoric and sedating. It is available in capsules and powder from online vendors and may even be carried by some local retailers and headshops. Reviews of Red Dragon Kratom are largely mixed with some saying this is simply an expensive version of Red Thai powder with a flashy name for marketing purposes. We have some concerns regarding Kratom Therapy’s promotion of this strain which they claim is “not only the most popular, but is also currently the most sought after strain on the market.” While it has received high scores from some users in terms of potency, this claim is demonstrably false and induces skepticism about the marketing of this product.

What is Red Dragon Kratom?

Kratom Therapy bills its Red Dragon capsules and powder as coming from a private deep jungle plantation that is exclusive to them. They do not provide any other information about where this strain is grown or the harvesting techniques used. According to reviews posted on some of the popular online Kratom forums, the strain likely comes from Thailand and its effects closely mirror those one would expect from a Red Vein Thai leaf. There are some who suggest that there is no difference between Red Dragon and Red Thai save for the brand name.

The effects are described as stimulating while providing a sharpened sense of focus and concentration. It is also said to numb feelings of pain and discomfort while allowing you to still function at high level. At larger doses, the typical Kratom euphoria and “relaxed buzz” will begin to kick in and you will feel all of your worries float away and be replaced by positive thoughts.

Usage

Kratom Therapy states that this product is effective at a dosage of 2 grams which would certainly make it one of the strongest non-extract powders on the market. Even the very high strength Maeng Da powder requires a dosage of 3 grams for the full scope of effects to be observed. Some users do seem to support this claim with one reviewer stating, “The Red Dragon rivals some extracts I’ve had — and its only a couple dollars more than the Borneo Red.” However, in one online experience log, a user wrote that he still felt nothing after taking 6 grams of this herb so you should be aware that your results may be different.

Prices & Vendors

You can purchase Superiod Red Dragon capsules and powder directly from Kratom Therapy or from a number of third party stores such as Kratom-K, Super Fun Cave, Save On Kratom and Kratom Caps. Prices tend to be best when purchasing directly from the supplier, though other sellers may at times have sales on offer. A 1 ounce or 28 gram package of powder costs $16 and a bottle of 50 capsules with 600 mg each costs $21. You can also purchase an XL size bottle of 1200 mg capsules for $24. On average, this makes Red Dragon more expensive per ounce than other powders such as Red Thai, Red Bali or Premium Indo. That being said, if you are able to use half the effective dosage to achieve your desired results, then there could be some cost sabings available.

User Reviews of Red Dragon

Below is a selection of some of the reviews we have found for this product online. User reviews on this product are mixed at best with some calling it “notoriously bad Kratom” and others saying it “is definitely deserving of praise.” It is hard to judge the authenticity of many of these reviews. For example, one user on Reddit who wrote, “Their Superior Red Dragon is some of the best [Kratom} I’ve ever had,” appears to have been deleted as a fake member. We have tried to select reviews only from legitimate sources and trusted members on various forums across the web.

“The Red Dragon Capsules didn’t really pan out for me. I just ordered a sampler pack from what seems to be a much more reputable website and I am looking forward to receiving it.”

“I enjoyed using this strain quite a bit. I can understand why people have chosen it as a favorite.”

“I ordered the red dragon caps from KT, shipping was fast but the kratom was BUNK!!!”’

“I ordered from KT a couple of months back and got the Red Dragon … not a single one did anything for me except upset my stomach. There was no effect at all to any of them. It was like I was just ingesting some shredded leaf with no alkaloid contain at all.”

“The red dragon was was in a league of its own giving me a sense of exhilaration and comfort simultaneously”

“Just got my red dragon from solle solutions I must say it is very good.”

“I have to say, I wasn’t too impressed with the Red Dragon but it seems to otherwise gets some pretty good reviews. Maybe a bad batch.”

Deep Jungle Kratom Review – Can you Trust this Company?

deep jungle kratom review

Deep Jungle Kratom is a long-standing vendor that claims to have the lowest prices on bulk Kratom powders. But how does this claim stand up in the ultra-competitive online marketplace? Though their prices are on the lower end of the spectrum, some vendors do have better prices. In addition to this, their selection is not as high as several other vendors and they do not accept payment by credit card or other online payment methods. They do have positive ratings from many of their customers, but until they offer a better ordering process, it seems like they will not be able to compete with the larger retailers.

Deep Jungle Kratom Review

Deep Jungle carries a selection of several popular Kratom powder strains including Green Malay, Borneo (or Bali) Red Vein, Sumatra Red Vein, Sumatra Green Vein and Sumatra White Vein. They also have Red and Green Riau Kratom in stock which is a lesser-known strain from the Southwestern region of the island of Sumatra. Riau leaf is said to possess a blend of the uplifting qualities of the Sumatra strain and the sedating effects of Borneo leaves. This strain is also purported to have a more pleasant smell and taste over

Though this selection gives a good sampling of red, white and green strains of Kratom, they are missing some of the popular names favored by experienced users. For example, they do not carry any Thai Kratom, nor do they have Maeng Da or Ultra Enhanced Indo powder. They also do not sell any extracts, resins, tinctures or capsules which today are truly must-have items for most stores to carry. That being said, if you are only interested in using the powdered Kratom products then the lack of these other options may not concern you.

Pricing

What about the assertion that they sell Kratom at the lowest price? The first thing to keep in mind is that the minimum order from Deep Jungle Kratom is 114 grams or 4 ounces. This is much larger than other retailers which is why new users might not be as keen to order from them. All of their strains are priced at $40 for 114 grams which is low, but you can in fact buy it at cheaper prices from better established vendors. For example, Arena Ethnobotanicals sells 4 ounces (equivalent to 114 grams) of their Premium Bali powder for $39.99 and they sell 4 ounces of Premium Indonesian Kratom for $35.99.

Criticism about Payment Methods

The greatest concern with Deep Jungle Kratom is that their order process is quite convoluted. They do not have a traditional e-commerce store and you cannot order by credit card or PayPal. Instead, you have to e-mail them to place your order and then wait for them to send you an invoice. You will them have to mail them a money order or a cashier’s check in order to make payment. Only once this is received by the company will they then ship your order.

As you can imagine, this does add some delay time into the ordering process. It means that it may take an extra week for your Kratom leaves or powders to make it to your doorstep over traditional vendors who do accept credit card payments. This is also not a particularly secure way of ordering online as you will have no recourse in the event you do not receive what you have ordered. Furthermore, some customers have complained that Deep Jungle does not reply to order e-mails promptly. One reviewer said they ultimately decided to take their business elsewhere due to the slow response.
Conclusion

While Deep Jungle Kratom does receive high marks for quality and price, the inconvenient method of ordering makes it hard to recommend this vendor. There are other companies you can look to that will provide the same quality at the same price and allow you to order by credit card. If you are interested in trying Red or Green Riau Kratom, then this would be the best place to buy it. But for other strains, we would recommend Arena Ethnobotanicals or Bouncing Bear Botanicals as two trusted vendors that supply high quality Kratom at fair prices.

Bouncing Bear Botanicals Review – Selection of Kratom and Ethnobotanicals

Bouncing Bear Botanicals coupon

A standout among online kratom stores, Bouncing Bear Botanicals is known as the place to go for the most diverse selection of herbal remedy products on the web. In addition to the great lineup of classic kratom strains, Bouncing Bear Botanicals also offers connoisseur grade rarities that don’t show up outside of Asia very often. For this reason, they get very high marks from users and review sites alike. Excellent price deals and a strong track record of product quality reliability also earn the company kudos. Here are some of the main points that make this Kratom vendor recommendation-worthy.

A High End Specialty Kratom Selection

The most important criteria when searching for a kratom supplier is obviously selection. And it’s in this department that Bouncing Bear Botanicals really shines. While you may find some of the “greatest hits” of kratom sold in various outlets, only a specialty vendor like Bouncing Bear offers some of these highly unique strains, preparations and blends.

Browse the full product line and you’ll see what we mean. There are plenty of classic favorites, like Maeng Da, Indo, and Bali strains. But you’ll also find a rare Borneo Blend which synthesizes the best of multiple strains. There is also a highly prized mitragynine-only 10% extract, the very rare Sakae Naa Kratom substitute, and even live kratom plants for sale.

Then click over to the main ethnobotanical selection and prepare to be blown away by dozens of rare herbal remedies, seeds, and plants. Items you may have only read about in herbal journals like Yohimbe, Sacred Lotus, and Mandrake are suddenly available for easy purchase. This is an incredible resource for anyone who’s interested in exploring rare plants and herbal medicinals.

Bouncing Bear Botanicals – Part of the New Breed of U.S. Based Kratom Vendors

Not that long ago, if you wanted to order kratom you’d have to track down selles from abroad and simply hope that they would deliver the products they advertised safely and truthfully. It was not uncommon at that time to have to wait months while packages went through customs, if they got through at all, only to find that your order was incorrect, or worse yet, fraudulent. No one wants to take those chances, especially when dealing with health remedies.

Now, a handful of vendors like Bouncing Bear are based in the U.S. This is an excellent development for kratom enthusiasts, because it adds a new level of security and confidence for all purchases. Here are some of the benefits of a U.S. vendor:

  • Legality – Based in Lawrence, Kansas, this vendor is in full compliance with current U.S. laws and ships 100 percent legal products.
  • Security – An excellent privacy policy is complemented by secure credit card checkout and discrete shipments.
  • Speed – With no international customs to worry about, orders from Bouncing Bear are often shipped same day.
  • Guarantees – There’s nothing more American than a money back guarantee. This is the ultimate symbol of trust with any online vendor.

Bouncing Bear Botanicals Now Offers Bulk Pricing Deals

Of course, every vendor review begins and ends with a discussion of price. There is no way we would recommend Bouncing Bear Botanicals if it hadn’t proven to offer some of the lowest prices in the business. Product for product, gram for gram, you won’t find prices this low for such high quality kratom anywhere on the web.

Classic strains like Green Malay are retailing for only $15 for 28 grams. That comes out to just over a dollar a dose if you buy Kratom powder. But here’s the real news story – for the same high quality product, you can get 1000 grams for $300 bucks. That comes out to around 75 – 90 cents a dose. Now, not everyone wants to stock up on so much kratom at once. But this is an example of the kinds of deals one can find on this site when you purchase in larger quantities. Even buying an extra month’s worth of bulk kratom product can end up saving you around 30 percent in some cases. These cheap Kratom deals are too good not to recommend.

With an excellent and unique selection, guaranteed security and satisfaction, and crazy good deals, Bouncing Bear Botanicals is sitting at the top of our lists of great online vendors. Compare them with other vendors and see if you agree.

Arena Ethnobotanicals Reviews – The Top Rated Kratom Vendor

arena ethnobotanicals coupon

Once again, Arena Ethnobotanicals has come out on top of an analysis of all of the best online kratom shops. We’ve come a long way from the days when consumers had to take a leap of faith when ordering kratom through the mail. Now, the global online marketplace has opened up all new opportunities for choice and convenience for anyone curious to try this popular herbal supplement. But which site is the best of the best? Even among the elite names, Arena Ethnobotanicals continues to stand out in comparisons of quality, pricing, and user reviews. Let’s have a look at what it takes to earn such high esteem in the kratom community.

Selection of the Most Popular Kratom Strains

When most people try kratom for the first time, they typically follow what’s most popular online when choosing a strain. Arena Ethnobotanicals offers all of these classic plants in either powder or crushed leaf form. Names like Maeng Da, Bali, and Indo are the most talked about, go-to strains, with the most reliable effects. Consumers who buy these strains regularly are looking for predictably great results every time. Among Arena customers, we’ve never heard of such as thing as a “weak batch.” These products are indeed the gold standard for their famous strains. So, if you have read about how strong Maeng Da is and want to know what all the fuss is about, or heard that Bali is the most relaxing of all strains and want to find out for yourself, rest assured that Arena will provide authentic, highly potent examples.

Superb Capsule Selection: The other product category where ArenaEthnobotanicals.com really excels is the capsule. This new way of taking kratom cuts out the mess and measuring, and makes using kratom on-the-go easier than ever. Some top vendors offer 1 or 2 capsule selections, but Arena Ethnobotanicals carries at least 5 distinct capsule strains, including an extract. This is hands down the best kratom capsule selection of any online vendor. You’ll even find the rare treat of pure Mitragyna Javanica capsules.

Has kratom got you interested in exploring other botanical remedies? It’s fun to read about more exotic herbal remedies online, but until recently, it’s been very hard to acquire many special and rare herbal supplements and seeds. Arena also has a comprehensive selection of these specialty herbs, such as:

  • Kava Kava
  • Maca Powder
  • Hawaiian Baby Woodrose
  • Wild Dagga
  • Damiana

Price Review – Arena Ethnobotanicals Wins Again

You don’t get to the top without being a price leader. In fact, excellent Kratom pricing is on par with product quality in any substantive analysis of an online vendor. Arena Ethnobotanicals offers incredibly competitive pricing on both loose powders and capsule-form kratom. Sold by the ounce, you’ll find deals that bring the average per dose cost down to about a dollar or two. Compare that to any other herbal remedy or pharmaceutical medicine. Arena sweetens the deal by upping the savings with larger orders – this is just smart business, for them and for users. In today’s crowded market, vendors simply have to offer bare bones pricing to stay on top.

  • Bulk deals – Simply add an extra few ounces to an order to save up to 30 percent or more.
  • Wholesale accounts available – If you run an herbal shop, it appears that Arena will set up a wholesaler account for you, with corresponding sweet wholesale rates on larger orders.
  • There are even some rare Arena Ethnobotanicals coupons offered at certain times in the year.

Security and Trust

When it comes to purchasing online, no one wants to get burned. That’s why you have to do your homework and only order from sites that have an excellent record and fantastic security protections.

Arena meets all of our criteria for a safe and trustworthy site. In addition to easily accessible customer service, a clear privacy policy, and a U.S. office, we are most impressed with the money back guarantee.

Guarantee – If the product doesn’t live up to your expectations, you can get your money refunded. This is not just a financial guarantee, but a trust guarantee. You never have to be nervous about making a purchase again. How could you ever shop with a vendor who didn’t offer you this most basic protection?

User Reviews For Arena Ethnobotanicals

Kratom Black Label Capsules and 60x Extract Review

kratom black label capsules

Kratom Black Label capsules are the latest in a near epidemic of trendy new brands of the ancient herbal remedy. Passing through the shelves of an herbal head shop or browsing some of the hastily thrown together online vendors who sell this product, the uninformed consumer might not even realize that kratom has been used medicinally by humans for thousands of years. 60x Black Label Kratom and similarly packaged products treat the plant-based supplement like it was candy for children, or worse yet, a “legal high.” As we will see in this review, such packaging is often misleading, and misses the point entirely of kratom’s incredible, authentic healing and mood-lifting power.

What are Kratom Black Label Capsules Made Of?

The most important question to ask of any of these re-branded products is, what is it made of? Real kratom is made exclusively from the leaves of the Mitragyna Speciosa tree of Southeast Asia. It is not refined nor cut with chemicals. Can Kratom Black Label say the same? We’re not exactly sure what it’s saying, because no detailed information about how it is made or what it is made of is given. We are simply told in generic text by vendor after vendor that it’s somewhat strong. In other words, “trust us.”

Some sites claim this is a 40x or 50x extract while others say it is actually a 60x extract, distilled from natural kratom leaves. We don’t know what region or strain, so effects cannot be predicted. Is it supposedly 60 times as stimulating or 60 times as relaxing? No one should have to roll the dice and take that chance.

In fact, it’s probably not 60 times anything. Real kratom extract powders are made by boiling down large amounts of leaves into a dense resin which is then crushed. But the laws of physics have imposed a few limits here – 15-20x strength is literally the height of what is physically possible in a full spectrum extract. More than that is 100 percent hype. This may sound familiar to anyone who uses sunscreen – recently it was revealed by several environmental watchdog groups that no more than a 30SPF was even physically possible – so all those 100SPF drugstore brands were pure hype. Well, it’s the same situation with a supposed Black Label 60x or 40x extract – it’s just not possible.

Kratom Black Label Capsules Pricing

Whether or not it is as strong as they say, one thing is clear – Kratom Black Label powders and other products are very expensive. Though prices vary across different vendors, the average price seems to hover around $50 for 7 grams. We can compare this number to other extracts, but once again, as exact strength is not given by either the original manufacturer or the middleman vendors, it’s actually impossible to make a totally fair comparison.

Here is a well-known 15x Extract product from established vendor Arena Ethnobotanicals which offers 12 grams for $35. That’s less than half the price, gram for gram. So the next logical question is, is Kratom Black Label worth the extra money? Let’s ask the users who know best.

User Reviews

There have been many first hand user reviews posted for this product. The faithful and curious kratom community has once again taken a risk on a new product and tried it out, sharing their findings with their global online group of peers. This is an invaluable service which is, comically enough, far more than what the actual manufacturer or vendors provide. One must ask, do they have something to hide? The users suggest that maybe they do.

Most people who experimented with Black Label Kratom products found it to produce “dreamy” and “euphoric” sensations somewhat quickly, but not very intensely. While not unpleasant, these feeling didn’t seem to last very long for anyone who used the product, fading away before even an hour had passed.

Here’s where we get to the problem of deceptive marketing. When users buy a product expecting 40 times the strength of conventional products, you can bet they’re heading for some major disappointment. No kratom FST or extract exists that is 40 times the strength of standard kratom, and we probably wouldn’t like it if it did. As has been shown across all products, too high of a dose creates an overly sedative quality that can be so strong that the user truly does not get to enjoy the experience of kratom’s benefits at all. We must remember that the goal of kratom use is a comprehensive list of body and mind benefits – not to try to crank up the dosage so high that nothing at all is felt. This approach is a great disservice to the millions of people who use kratom as it was intended – medicinally, and to make pain and stress more manageable.

Users who sincerely wanted the Kratom Black Label product to live up to the hype had to take excessively high doses, leading to some temporary but unpleasant side effects. When the effects wore off a few hours later, the users polled all said they wouldn’t be using this product again.

Kratom Black Label Review

Once again, we are seeing a branded kratom product with hyped, exaggerated efficacy claims, without the real product information to back it up. Users were less than impressed with the short-lived effects, and no one liked the price, at nearly double the cost of proven extracts of intense concentration. For these reasons, Kratom Black Label unfortunately gets very low marks. Consumers would be far better served by seeking out quality extract powders like the one mentioned above.

Final grade: C+

Organic Kratom Capsules & Powder Reviews

organic kratom capsules

Organic Kratom is one of the new breed of online vendors who have flooded the market since kratom started gaining popularity in the last few years. They boast a well-designed, colorful website, full of quality information about their products. This includes background on the strains, dosage recommendations, and descriptions of effects. It is not completely clear where this company is based or how long it has been in business – for now we just know they hired a great web designer! Is that enough reason to recommend their products? Read on to find out more in this Organic Kratom Review.

Products

First of all, Organic Kratom only carries kratom and does not stock any other ethnobotanical remedies. Right away, this sends up a red flag. As kratom use has gotten more popular in the last few years, literally dozens of fly-by-night websites have arisen to cash in on the craze. Such sites may have little or no history with and knowledge of the effects of kratom. They may in fact just be some sort of shipping middleman who brokered a deal with a larger supplier and figured out a way to get a little more profit off of the product before it reaches consumers.

We don’t know if this store falls into this category. But sites which carry full lines of ethnobotanical remedies from all around the world in addition to kratom, like the excellent Bouncing Bear Botanicals, are generally run by people who know quite a bit about herbal medicinals. You want this kind of knowledge backing up every product.

That being said, the products that Kratom Organic Powder does offer seem to be of good quality, and cover the usual range of strains from at least Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. However, their powders are only offered from Thai and Malay sources. The rest can be found only in capsules and extracts.

The descriptions of each product indicate a good overall knowledge of what the plant is supposed to do, although there does not seem to be too much science offered along with claims.

In some cases, the vendor claims to have visited the regions where the kratom is from to learn more about it and secure quality products. These comments feel legitimate and we have no reason to doubt them.

Organic Kratom Pricing

How do the prices measure up at the Organic Kratom Capsules site? Again, there is a limited selection of traditional powders, the most popular form of kratom, with more weight given to capsules. But gram for gram, prices seem to be about on par with other top vendors.

Organic Kratom User Reviews

Here’s the main problem we found with this site. There are no consumer reviews to be found anywhere online! This is very curious, as most established kratom vendors have countless pages written about them, pro and con, across hundreds of user-driven message boards.

After a little detective work, we were able to find the Organic Kratom Facebook page, but were shocked to discover it only had 20 Likes and had not a single user comment posted on the page. No compliments, no critiques, no nothing. What’s up with this big silence?

Perhaps the site is too new to have received many comments or reviews. However, it bills itself as the USA’s number 1 kratom seller – if this claim were true in any sense, certainly there would be more – or any – press about the company online. As is, we are left in the dark as to the kind of information that only real kratom users can provide – Did the product work? Did it arrive on time? Did I get my money’s worth or did I get ripped off?

Final Grade

The site design of Organic Kratom is excellent, full of informative text. Product selection appears to have quality items, though not an enormous amount of powders to choose from. Prices are good. Unfortunately, the lack of confirmation from the kratom community prevents us from being able to give a great recommendation to this site. That’s too bad, because their hearts seem to be in the right place. Perhaps in the future, real users will chime in with quality ratings, allowing us to determine if this site is legit or not. For the benefit of the community and the continued mainstream acceptance of kratom in the medical community, we certainly hope that it is.

Final rating: B-
