General Product Info
I will start off by saying I’m a huge kratom guy and have reviewed several other kratom products. Earth Kratom is a new one for me and I have never seen it before this. It is a product made and distributed by “Fire Wholesale.” I found this pack of 65 caps in a local headshop. The gentleman explained it was their current “biggest seller.” So naturally, I was excited to try this one out myself. I had also not heard of Red Maeng Da before this and had only tried White Maeng Da products. The package itself is pretty standard, seals well, and allows you to see the capsules inside (which I always like). It states the kratom is the highest quality and “100% chemical free.”
Product Administration
There are no dosage instructions on the package. It states it is not meant for use by people under 18 years of age. I took 4 capsules, considering it was non-extracted. I drank 2 glasses of water with them, and nothing more. I did not eat for at least 8 hours before ingesting the capsules.
Product Effects
I felt a light, peppy kind of energy (as expected) within about 30 minutes of ingesting the capsules. It was, however, very short-lived and lasted only about 30 minutes in total. I then felt a little sick, prompting me to do a little more research on the product (which I will talk about next). I did not attempt to take anymore, as I have tried many kratom products in the past which have never made me feel ill.
Final Thoughts
After realizing that the product was not nearly as strong as other kratom brands, I did not see any point in taking any more of the capsules. Feeling ill prompted me to do some more research, where I realized that the FDA issued a warning about a salmonella outbreak amongst some of the most prevalent kratom brands on the market. Fire wholesale was listed in this report, although not this exact package or kratom type. I still imagine that it is possible that I could have had some sort of contamination in my package, so I discontinued use and unfortunately have to rate this kratom product a 1 out of 5 star Fat Sammy rating and cannot recommend it.
