General Product Info
I purchased this small jar of Pure Synergy Botanicals “Gold Extract” Kratom Tablets (Maeng Da) from a local headshop very recently. I had tried another Pure Synergy product and was about equally happy with it. This product, however, was a bit better, even though still not quite good enough to grab that fourth star rating. The container is smaller, easily fits in the pocket, and resealable. The tablets are chewable, which is new for me (first time trying a chewable kratom tablet). It is a Maeng da extract, so I expected it to be considerably strong as Maeng da in my experience is the best strain of kratom. There are 600 mg of extract in each container (6 tablets total). I was extremely excited about to try this product.
Product Administration
The facts part of the label indicates each table contains almost 1 full mg of Mitragyna speciosa extract, and that a serving size is one tablet. I chose to take 2 tablets to start, and then took my next 2 subsequent tablets within an hour. I took the final 2 tablets an hour after that. The tablets themselves smell awful and taste even worse, so be prepared with a couple glasses of water. It also takes a little while to chew these up and consume them properly. I guess it would be possible to swallow them whole, however, these are basically horse pills and I cannot imagine this would be pleasant! I should point out I also consumed a steak and egg breakfast about 4 hours before ingesting the first two tablets. I did not eat anything else the entire rest of the day (kratom can be a bit of an appetite suppressant, especially if you take this much all in one day).
Some of the warnings include not operating heavy machinery or motor vehicles while consuming these tablets, and not to take if pregnant or taking other medication. The label also states you must be 18 years or older to purchase.
Product Effects
I felt the effects of the first two tablets within about 20 minutes and peaked at about 45 minutes in. The effects were strong at their height, and it would not be possible to drive on these pills. Although the aftertaste sucked a bit, the relaxation, pain relief, and peppiness was worth it. The second two pills felt like they kicked on a bit faster, maybe 1-15 minutes in. They lasted about the same duration. The final pills were not as strong, probably because my body was getting a bit used to this strain and product. If I had spaced them out a bit longer, or amongst different days I imagine they would still be equally as strong.
I wanted to also mention that a friend of mine tried this with me, consuming his entire container within about 3 hours total. His effects were fairly similar and he also enjoyed them. Although, he mentioned he might not try them again due to the higher price tag.
Final Thoughts
Pure Synergy Botanicals has produced some decent kratom products. Their extracts are effective (both the liquid I reviewed a bit earlier this same month and these chewable tablets). The tablets are a bit large, and I wonder if they need to be this large, as I imagine the actual amount of extract within each tablet is probably rather small. Still, the product is worthy of a firm 3 Star Fat Sammy Rating, which is truthfully a bit difficult to pull off!
My main complaint about this product is the price. It is a bit expensive for only 2 hours or so of an experience, and the tablets taste bad. I also find it a bit weird there is no information online about it (no website) and that it can only be purchased in person at a local headshop. If I wanted to try this again, I would have trouble finding it in person and it cannot be purchased online unless you are a store (wholesale only). I did like the product, even though there are stronger kratom extracts available.
