, extra-concentrated. These capsules seem exceptionally potent and I've found them superior to other
. Currently, two strains are available in capsule form; Red Borneo And White Bali.
In the last few years, several new Kratom vendor's have been coming out of the woodwork to display their awesome and heavenly product. Many of them claiming ''highest-purity''
Some declare their Kratom to be able to induce body highs.
While all of this can be seen as effective advertising, there's still an amount of assessment that needs to be done beyond product potency, particularly because some vendors feel they can afford to cut corners when their sales are through the roof. This becomes a problem if attention isn't being paid to quality of the ''Kratom-land''...crops in which they originated. Some soil just isn't suited and some regions just not healthy to grow specific herbs in.
Additionally, there are other factors which will determine our assessment of (already showing) the best Kratom vendors of late 2017 and early/mid 2018.
- Organic Certified.
- Mitragynine percentage.
- Solubility and sublingual preparations.
- Continuing reviews.
- Lab-Tests: Some vendor's have announced that fresh COA's (certificate of analysis) will be produced and the testing will come from a well-known third-party lab.
Organic Certified
More and more consumers want ''organic'' products these days, and with Kratom, it isn't exactly a food product, so there isn't any traditional regulatory agency that will be happy to approve its label so quickly, but the
controversy of Kratom may pose the biggest barrier for big agency's like the USDA from eagerly reviewing and approving such products as Organic
[1]. So finding approvals from Oregon Tilth and other central agency's is a
big plus.
Mitragynine Percentage
Today, most customers want a guaranteed high percentage of mitragynine; the main active ingredient in Kratom. What most DON'T KNOW, is that this depends on the quality and the SOURCE of the Kratom. As discussed earlier, some crops are not being taken care of properly, therefore, that is the first step before standardization and extraction
[2].
Solubility and sublingual preparations
Good absorption and additional methods of consumption are key for any kratom vendor. Therefore those who offer, resin, high-potency sublingual extracts and those who increasingly offer new and more potent strains are most important
[3].
Continuing Reviews
People that ''write and drop'' a one-time review don't
always give a good name for the company (or themselves), its
repeat reviews that matter; especially with Kratom. So companies that consistently have continuing support from their customers (and +new customers) are the ones that make this list
[4].
Lab-Tests
Consumers have been buying untested kratom for years, but given that
*some kratom vendors will be changing their policy on display of test results, this will likely be a deciding factor at some point during 2018. Of course, there will be those who continue to buy untested Kratom, perhaps under convenience or certainly, reliance and trust of their favorite company. Therefore, new customers may be most affected followed by repeat customers in the case of bad-testing

1.)
Top Extracts Kratom : One of my favorite stores and my #1 Go-To for Kratom. The quality has never waned and the generosity and professionalism of the owner is impressive. Not to mention competitive prices (actually a bargain for what you get) and always new innovative products on the shelf. All current strains are offered with purity reports and transparency where needed. He has a few other hobbies including Kava and Ayuhuasca-type blends that will give you a good bang for your buck!
2.)
CoastLine Kratom : A great store that offers ''sample packs'', has several sales throughout the year and seasonal specials. Quality and diversity of Kratom strains is impeccable and has been consistent throughout the years! They categorize everything nicely and their strains are listed with thorough descriptions and tailored to each users taste.
3.)
Kratom Crazy : A high-quality store with bold claims but humility is a given. Despite some minor inconveniences with their payment system, they have a remained a reputable Kratom seller.
4.)
Herbal Salvation : A reputable seller also marked on
Reddit as
trusted. Very consistent & high-quality Kratom.
5.)
Eternally Herbal : A BIG Kratom supplier and fulfilling thousands of orders per year. Though you wouldn't think it by their front page alone, its their Etiquette and courtesy that lands them #5 on this List!
POTENTIALLY PROBLEMATIC KRATOM VENDORS
We've seen that Bikhuk (ethnobotanical store) has committed to unsolicited e-mails, harassment of all forms and varying levels of consistency, in a Reddit Report - they were deemed very annoying because of all this and more.
Kratom USA has poor consistency, although has improved in recent years. Still - we see bad customer service with some of our Clients and other issues pop up on Reddit where they have done bizarre things like send nothing at all, or send the wrong Kratom and moreover, have very poor Quality Kratom, in many cases.
Cali Kratom seems O.K at times but can be problematic in their Customer Service/Communication and also - like the two mentioned above, can vary WAY TOO MUCH in quality - no vendor should swivel back and forth as much as these listed vendors do!
Z-Eclectric is defunct, so it is irrelevant.
Other Potentially Problematic Kratom Vendors include; Kratom Source.
UPDATE ON THE FIGHT FOR KRATOM MARCH 2018
UPDATE: Kratom is still LEGAL pretty much everywhere in USA. However, some states have proposed specific Laws to abide *only* on those States; New York has a recent bill attempting to Ban and Label Kratom as a drug and "potentially dangerous". [REDDIT DISCUSSION HERE]
