General Product Info
Blissful Botanicals has a few different liquid kratom shots available in my local headshop. Buying this product local is necessary as they only seem to sell their kratom wholesale to actual retail stores. The containers are convenient, smaller in size (easy to fit in the pocket), and the labeling is fairly easy to read. My bottle claims it is 100 percent full spectrum Mitragyna speciosa, with 225 mg of alkaloid content. It is an extract that equates to 9.9 grams of dry leaf. This presumably would make it it a 10x extract, although the bottle does state it is a 50:1 extract. This means for every 50 grams of leaf that go into the extraction process, only 1 gram of extract results. I have tried far stronger extracts in the past, but given the smaller size of the bottle, I assumed it would be a more effective liquid shot. The bottle warns the product is meant for individuals 18 years or older and to use at one’s own risk.
Product Administration
There are no actual dosing instructions on the label itself, although it does state there are 2 portions per bottle. I assumed one dose would not be enough, so I did consume one entire bottle each time. I did purchase two of these and took my first bottle on an empty stomach at about 1 in the afternoon. I took my second bottle after a small while (probably 40 minutes later). I did consume a glass of water with each “dose,” and I had a grilled cheese sandwich about 10 minutes after the second bottle. The actual liquid was pretty bad tasting, but that is normal for kratom extracts (whether dry or in a liquid form). Having tried many other kratom shots in the past, I expected a horrible aftertaste, which I most certainly experienced with Blissful Botanicals Full Spectrum. Hence the glasses of water. I also find the water helps deliver the kratom faster in terms of digestion, otherwise the liquid is not enough to move the kratom through the system on its own within a reasonable time frame.
Some of the other ingredients on the label include: purified H2O, vegetable USP, “kosher” glycerin, 50:1 Mitragyna speciosa concentrate, ascorbic acid, and citrus. The citrus is likely just lemon, which makes the extraction process easier and the resulting concentrate a lot stronger. There are 112.5 mg of solution per bottle. It also makes sure to note that it is not a source of nutrients.
Product Effects
After about 10-15 minutes of having ingested this product, I began to feel the light giddiness that comes from a kratom extract high. Liquid kratom is often much faster in terms of effects, although, the extracts are almost always the strongest. This extract most certainly did NOT feel like a 50:1 concentration. If I had to guess, I would say this figure is massively exaggerated. Regardless, the high was very short-lived and only included a light conversational laughter for about 15 minutes or so. Upon ingesting the second bottle, I did experience another short peak of about 10-15 minutes more.
In the end, I badly wanted to rank this product a lot higher. I would have needed a far stronger experience to justify the cost, or I would have needed the cost to be far lower to justify the experience. The aftertaste was harder to get rid of than some of my usual kratom extract choices, which is somewhat abnormal. Maybe there was too much glycerin included in their formula, creating a thicker, more syrup-like solution. Regardless, I absolutely do not feel I had a great experience, and the aftertaste did create a mild nausea that I struggled to eliminate for upwards of an hour. This product also made my sandwich a bit unenjoyable (both in terms of taste and actual hunger fulfillment).
Final Thoughts
This was my first time trying a Blissful Botanicals product. I was kind of excited to see a new liquid kratom product. The clerk explained it was a popular product and was flying off the shelves. While I believe that it may be selling well, I do not believe they will restock this product, despite the convenient packaging. Even with the product claiming such a high alkaloid content, I do not feel it justifies the cost. And if it actually had worked well enough to where the bottle was accurate in the sense there are two portions per bottle, the actual screw cap on top was a lower quality and I did not feel it would secure the second portion for travel (such as placing it within the pocket).
Honestly, for the price I expected a lot more. I only got the peppy kratom-like high for about fifteen to twenty minutes before I was right back where I started. The price was high for such a short experience. I should point out that a friend of mine tried his own bottle alongside me and he too was left feeling shorted and disappointed. We did laugh for a few moments, but I could have laughed by watching the movie ”Step Brothers” or listening to some Kevin Hart comedy. That would have been far more cost-effective. I can only give Blissful Botanicals a 2 Star Fat Sammy Rating for this product. I have tried far better kratom shots, and have had a lot better legal highs in almost all senses of the phrase.
