Kratora Kratom Brand Review [2023 Update]

Most kratom users are familiar with the challenge of finding a vendor that delivers excellence time after time. Sadly, the kratom industry is littered with low-quality brands. But Kratora has carved out a reputation for being different.

In this review, I will explore whether the hype surrounding Kratora is justified. No stone will go unturned, with checks on their product collection, credibility, and transparency. Looking for an honest take on the highly-rated Kratora brand? You have found it.

Maybe the Kratora name rings a bell, or perhaps this vendor is new to you. Either way, let’s begin by learning a little more about them.

Kratora is a long-established retailer and wholesaler of kratom products. Crunchbase states that the company was founded in 2013 as Kratora LLC and is based in Livermore, California. This online store looks to have a small team, but it hasn’t stopped them from stocking a massive range.

I am glad that Kratora has a detailed ‘About Us' page. This shows the company cares about communicating its story and values to customers. We can deduce that Kratora gets its kratom from the Southeast Asian rainforests - and specifically, small villages in Indonesia.

The Kratora team actually travels around to find the best growers and form face-to-face partnerships. This convinces me of their claims about wanting to source fresh, all-natural kratom.

The backstory is vital given that Kratora talks about going beyond industry standards. Selling organic, finely ground, and securely packaged kratom does not happen automatically. But Kratora puts the hard yards in and brings the herb to customers in various exciting forms.

Kratora’s product range extends beyond kratom. The vendor also stocks blue lotus, kava kava, muira puama, and other sought-after botanicals. Interestingly, Kratora sells Mitragyna hirsuta, a herb with mitragynine that is seen as a milder alternative to kratom.

Perhaps you are old-school and prefer kratom powder. Maybe you are enjoying the innovation and love products like kratom gummies. Whatever you are into, Kratora probably has it!

Here’s a closer look at the different kratom products you can buy from this California-based store.

Kratora has a varied range of kratom powder, with strains from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. More importantly, the brand’s collection includes red, white, and green vein products and other options such as Stem and Vein.

Sure, some vendors stock more kratom strains, but quantity does not always mean quality. Kratora concentrates on the latter. They provide an idea of what to expect from the strains and package the powder in top-quality resealable bags.

Furthermore, Kratora’s powder contains pure Mitragyna speciosa. Most products are made with finely-ground leaves. However, 'Stem and Vein' powder consists of those respective parts of the kratom plant. Kratora’s Stem and Vein is cheaper but still boasts a lovely texture.

Strains: Maeng Da, Premium Commercial Bali, White Borneo, Green Malay, Red Thai, Horned White, Stem and Vein, Red Kali, and more!

Sizes: 1oz (28g), 4oz (113g), 8oz (227g), 1lb (454g)

Kratora has a similarly solid selection of kratom capsules! These are made with premium leaf powder and sealed in all-natural vegetable material capsules. With 0.62 grams of powder per cap, these are bulky capsules and you will likely need a few of them per dose.

In need of something punchier? Kratora also stocks ultra-enhanced extract capsules. These pair regular-strength kratom powder with purified alkaloid extracts. This combination produces a familiar but more potent experience. Each capsule contains 0.5 grams of extract powder.

Not sure where to begin? Kratora’s Capsule Variety Pack can help you find your bearings.

Strains: Maeng Da, Red Bali, Green Malay, White Borneo, Green Thai, Ultra Enhanced Indo, Ultra Enhanced Maeng Da, and more!

Kratom gummies are a recent addition at Kratora, as more and more brands see the potential of mitragynine-infused edibles. This brand’s kratom gummies are made with organic, all-natural White Bali kratom and are sold in five unforgettable flavors.

The White Bali may produce energizing and mood-lifting effects - so these edibles could be a smart daytime choice. Kratora’s kratom gummies are portable, convenient, and suited to discreet on-the-go use. And they are easier to consume than capsules.

Kratora makes its gummies with vegan-friendly pectin. This product is non-GMO, gluten-free, and created with natural and organic flavorings. Each pack contains 150mg of mitragynine, divided into ten 15mg gummies. Kratora recommends one gummy per serving.

Flavors: Cherry Lime, Green Tea, Mojito, Peach, Tropical

High-potency kratom is in hot demand nowadays. And Kratora has the supply with a quintet of enhanced extract powders. Fusing standard kratom powder with purified alkaloid extract delivers more intense experiences while staying true to a strain’s roots. Here’s a glimpse of Kratora’s five kratom powder extracts.

Ultra Enhanced Maeng Da Powder: Take the already-potent Maeng Da strain up a notch with Kratora’s Ultra Enhanced Powder. Available in bag sizes between 5 and 100 grams.

Ultra Enhanced Indo Powder: This Kratora product blends finely-ground Indo kratom powder with ultra-pure alkaloid extract. Sold in several bag sizes between 5 and 100 grams.

Super Enhanced Bali Powder: Enjoy a high-strength Bali kratom experience with this super enhanced Kratora powder. Standard Bali powder pairs with ultra-pure alkaloid extract.

25x Extract Kratom Powder: Elevate your kratom sessions with Kratora’s 25x extract powder. This product is made with kratom leaves from Southeast Asia and is high in mitragynine and 7-HMG. The 25x figure means 5 grams of this powder is equivalent to 125 grams of regular powder!

50x Extract Kratom Powder: Or go further with Kratora’s 50x powder. It is otherwise identical to the kratom powder featured above, but twice as potent. Hence, 5 grams of the 50x powder is as strong as 250 grams of classic kratom powder.

If you find liquid kratom better suited to your needs, Kratora hears you! And with Red, Green, and Euphoric Liquid Extracts available, the brand caters to the full array of kratom experiences.

Kratora creates its Liquid Kratom Extracts with organic, all-natural, and locally-sourced kratom. And they never use nasty petrochemicals or solvents in the manufacturing process.

Kratora’s liquid extracts contain mitragynine (up to 8.5%), 7-HMG (less than 2%), and many more naturally-occurring alkaloids. All products are gluten-free, made with vanilla essence, and contain two servings per 10ml bottle.

Red Kratom Liquid Extract: Sample red vein kratom's comforting and peaceful effects in liquid form with this potent and aromatic Kratora product.

Green Kratom Liquid Extract: Enjoy the balance of green vein kratom with a dedicated liquid extract from Kratora. The slightly energizing effects are suited to daytime use.

Euphoric Kratom Liquid Extract: Revel in the joy of kratom euphoria with Kratora’s highly specific kratom extract. This liquid kratom product boasts a blend of red and green vein extract.

Kratora’s comments suggest they care deeply about kratom quality and safety. And with no Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversight in the kratom industry, these values matter even more than usual.

There is a comment on the Kratora website about how a product is not worth the money if it isn’t third-party tested for quality and safety. I wholeheartedly agree.

And while finding third-party lab results for Kratora products requires jumping through a few hoops, it is good to know they exist. Instead of publishing results, Kratora has a request form on its website where you can ask to see the third-party certificate for any lot number.

I have no qualms about this system. Having lab results for every batch of products is more transparent than publishing certificates from several years ago.

Kratora publishes customer reviews from verified buyers. Only logged in customers who have bought products can leave comments. This instills confidence that you can trust what you read.

As of May 2023, Kratora is not on the American Kratom Association’s (AKA) list of GMP-qualified vendors. Given the brand’s commitment to quality, this is a surprise. However, the brand does feature as one of the AKA’s state advocacy partners. 

There are hundreds - if not thousands! - of glowing reviews on the Kratora website. But what are people saying about the brand in the wider community? It seems like more of the same!

An old review of Kratora on the r/kratom subreddit painted a positive picture of the brand. Poster u/PrinceYoloSwagasaurus had good experiences with several strains, including Red Maeng Da and White Bali.

Kratora also earned kudos from kratom lovers after providing the AKA with substantial financial support. Company owner, David Branch, donated a whopping $100,000 in 2016, in a move that won enormous praise. Several Redditors appreciated Kratora’s fight to keep kratom legal.

Search around, and you will soon discover that Kratora’s products are relatively expensive. But high prices do not automatically mean a brand is not worth the money. Indeed, it can make sense to pay more if a vendor’s kratom is consistently brilliant.

Many Redditors argue that you can find better value elsewhere - and I agree. I could not justify paying close to $150 for 1lb of kratom powder, even with free priority shipping for orders over $50. Similarly, charging nearly $70 for 4oz of kratom capsules is also expensive.

However, while Kratora’s prices are above what I would pay, I hesitate to call them extortionate.

The brand promises quality and has up-to-date third-party certificates for products. Many companies refuse to do this, and plenty of users will happily pay more for such transparency.

Kratora is an honest and trustworthy brand. They back up the lofty talk about quality and safety with actions that show genuine care for the kratom industry. And with plenty of top-shelf kratom products that offer an array of effects, Kratora is in it for everybody.

Sure, some people will balk at the steep prices - and that is fair enough. But Kratora is upfront about what it does, which is all you can really ask for!
