Product Information

I have been a long-time supporter of Vivazen and their liquid kratom shot. Branded as “feel good relief,” they have never let me down…in over 10 years I believe at this point. They are so prominent in terms of being available in many headshops across America…and I have never had an issue finding Vivazen. Whenever I am doing my reviews, I usually throw a Vivazen in the bag, even if I’m not going to review it. But I do try to periodically re-review products which I have found effective or have earned good star ratings throughout the years…as products like this do change from time to time.

Product Administration

Administration

The supplement facts panel states that there are 5 servings per container. I believe them, as it smells very strong and the consistency of the solution is very thick.  It has a very strong kratom smell. I believe some of the ingredients have changed…which have likely contributed to the variation of experience I have had in this trial.

Product Effects

After about 15 minutes of taking my usual dose of about 1/3 of the container, I began to feel very very strong kratom effects. It was definitely too strong, and tasted a bit more awful than normal. It also gave me a light nausea…but this is likely just from taking too much. Still, whatever changes they made that made this stronger, I think was a negative move…as it was a perfect product a year ago, in my opinion.  The effects lasted about an hour. I did not redose, as it made me a bit sick, but it was still a great experience overall…and if I would have taken a smidgeon less, it would have been a perfect experience, despite the awful taste.

Final Words

It is noteworthy that Vivazen has traditionally been reviewed by me maybe once per year for years now, and always scored at least a 4 star Fat Sammy Rating. For whatever reason…whatever changes they have made, has made this product taste worse, be a bit too strong for comfort…and leaves me feeling more nauseous. Still, it is much better than so many other kratom extracts, and I want to remain loyal to the brand…as I do believe in them.  This is my latest feedback though…and currently, I’d award it a 3 star Fat Sammy Rating…leaving it one star behind the CURRENT kratom extract forerunner, Kats Botanicals (check out my latest Kats Botanicals Liquid Kratom review – Bali 45 for more information).  If you are considering vivazen though, I still encourage this product very much!

General Product Info

Vivazen is a solid company offering a reliable product that does not change in formula very frequently.  They are sold at many head shops, which is where I picked mine up.  The bottle states the product is fast acting, provides “feel good relief,” and lists the alkaloid content of kratom on the back.  There is between 125 and 135 mg of mitragynine, and less than 0.4 percent of 7-hydromitragynine.  These are the active constituents in kratom which provide the pain relief, anxiety relief, and euphoria effects.

The bottle itself is high quality, glass, and easily resealable.  It does not leak, and it is easy to stuff in the pocket on the go.  The labeling is easy to read, and reminds people not to use Vivazen if operating heavy machinery (such as driving a car). There is a special warning that the bottle contains herbal extracts which “have been used for centuries” and that the formula should not be mixed with alcohol.

Although this is primarily a kratom extract product, Vivazen has perfected their product over the years by creating a more complex herbal blend.  This product includes kratom (mitragyna speciosa), willow bark extract, yohimbe bark extract, valerian root extract, california poppy aerial part extract, boswellia serrata resin extract, corydalis yanhusuo rhizome extract, and passion flower aerial part extract.  Mostly, however, the kratom is doing all of the work in my opinion.

Product Administration

In true Fat Sammy-style, I consumed the entire bottle all at once on an empty stomach before the Superbowl began.  I had some nachos about 1 hour after I had consumed the contents of the bottle, and a couple of glasses of water.  Other than that, I did not eat the rest of the day. The labeling includes typical disclaimers, states the minimum buying age as 18 years old, and lists the distribution center located in Arizona. The label also recommends only using one bottle per day.

If this is your first time with a kratom shot (liquid), I strongly suggest only consuming half the bottle and waiting a half an hour before you consume the rest.  Some extracts, like Vivazen, are fairly strong and can lead to undesirable side effects (nausea, vomiting, dizziness) if you take too much too fast.

Product Effects

I have used Vivazen in the past many times, and the effects are fairly reliable.  On an empty stomach, you can expect to feel the kratom kick in about 15-20 minutes after consuming.  The first effect I typically feel, and felt with this trial is a light euphoria and increased talkativeness.  Meaning, I want to chat up a storm with whoever is willing to listen to me.  I also start to notice the tip of my nose tingles, and my arms begin to itch (a percocet-esque effect, which makes sense since kratom works via opioid receptors in the brain).  I then begin noticing pain relief in my back and neck, right about at 30-35 minutes.  This bottle was perfect for me, lasting about 2 hours total, with the peak at about 1 hour.

Final Thoughts

Vivazen has been around for a long time. I do believe they have been around for more than 10 years. I have seen them in my local head shops for years as well.  Although they do appear to cost a lot, $10 is not much for a couple hours of fun.  Tolerance can build quickly with Kratom, however, which can be a bummer if you think you have found a permanent solution.  Having tried almost every brand and type of kratom on the market, I can say Vivazen is top shelf and has always been worth it. All-in-all, Vivazen has always given me a a pretty decent experience and I have never really disliked them.  I have tried this product 3 times and this most recent experience was just as good as my first Vivazen review years ago. The major difference between the previous versions of Vivazen and this latest product release is the bottle.  The previous two products were in plastic bottles similar to the 5 hour energy shot.  This bottle was made of glass. It felt and looked much classier.  Overall, although somewhat expensive, the effects and value for the money is awesome.  The only negative thing I can really say about this product is that it still tastes terrible.  Regardless, I can solidly recommend this kratom product and give it a 4 out of 5 star Fat Sammy Rating!

General Product Info

I found this Vivazen product in a local smoke shop.  This is the first time I have seen a Vivazen product that was not kratom-based. I have used their kratom products for years and found them very effective. So given I have yet to have a truly favorable experience with CBD, I was excited to see a trusted brand release a CBD/hemp based product.  The bottle is the same size as their kratom bottles, but the labeling is a white, “natural-feeling” rebranding which I found truly aesthetically pleasing. Like some of their kratom products, the front label repeats the slogan “Feel Good Relief.”  The label states it contains a fast acting, “full spectrum hemp formula.”  It also states that the product contains “high bio-availability” – whatever that means. And like their kratom product, the label repeats that the herbal blend contains ingredients that have been “used for centuries” and that the product should not be consumed with alcohol or while operating heavy machinery.

Product Administration

Vivazen has always been very good about instructions for use, labeling, and product information. The supplement facts panel for their liquid hemp product lists the primary ingredient as “Full Spectrum Hemp Oil Extract” and states 50 mg to be within the container.  The additional ingredients include water, blood orange flavor, monk fruit extract, citric acid, and potassium sorbate. There is one serving per container and I chose to drink two of these liquid shots at once.

Product Effects

I was to expect (or so the clerk advised me at the smoke shop) some anxiety relief, relaxation, and “feel good” pain relief.  Unfortunately, I did not experience any of these things. The product made me slightly drowsy, but other than that, I felt it was a total bust and waste of money.  It is more expensive than their kratom shots, which actually do provide favorable effects (though nothing like what CBD is supposed to do).  The liquid also had a very unfavorable taste, which included an aftertaste I could not shake for several hours afterwards.

Final Thoughts

Besides tasting awful, being extremely expensive for the quantity, and a slightly leaky container (unlike Vivazen, so I’ll chalk that up to bad luck), there was also the fact it was not effective.  I do like the company and I did find the presentation to be professional and thorough.  This includes the labeling and information on the label, as well as bottle choice in general.  Still, I was left largely disappointed with a severe lack of positive effects and experience. Sorry guys, but as much as I like your kratom products, I absolutely hated this one and felt it was a total waste of money and time! I can only award Vivazen’s CBD liquid shot a 2 out of 5 Star Fat Sammy Rating.

General Product Info

I have reviewed Vivazen before, about 3 years ago.  They had switched formulae in between, going with Kava instead of Kratom. They also had a formula which totally sucked and had neither ingredient.  The Kava version, I may have ranked 2/5 Fat Sammy Rating.  The version which did not have anything good in it, would have been a 1 star.  With all of that said, I really liked the original formula Vivazen from back in the day (8 years ago ish). So it goes without saying, I was extremely excited to see this version of Vivazen in my local headshop.  The container itself is about the size of a “5 hour energy shot.”  “Fast Acting,” “feel good relief,” and “Kratom – Original Formula” are all printed on the front of the bottle. 

Although this product primarily relies upon Kratom for its effects, it also includes some other ingredients. Some of the other ingredients include willow bark, yohimbe, valerian, passion flower, and others. The product is supposed to relieve anxiety and pain. It is also supposed to be a mood enhancer.

Product Administration

The serving size on the supplement facts panel suggests half a bottle as one serving; However, in true Fat Sammy style, I almost always do a double dose (discouraged for most folk, especially with most products). I am very familiar with this product and have been looking forward to it for a while. I wanted to get the maximum effects, so I only had a toaster strudel in the morning, and then in the afternoon, I went downtown with the Vivazen (literally).

Product Effects

Within roughly 20 minutes of drinking the entire contents of the bottle, I began to feel a bit happier. The mood enhancement was peaking at about 90 minutes in.  I had a loss of appetite, which for me is a good thing.  I also did not feel any nausea, which happens with a lot of strong Kratom extracts. I felt an opioid-like talkativeness, however, I did not have anyone to talk to that I knew.  Being that I was walking at an outdoor mall alone, I ended up striking up conversation with random people.  Usually, I do not have as much courage.  Altogether, the effects lasted about 2.5 hours, with the decline starting at about 100-110 minutes.

Final Thoughts

Vivazen was a really great time. It is a little costly for only one experience, however, and it still builds a tolerance rather quickly if it is taken every day (I am assuming that is the Kratom). Other than that, it is a brand that I can trust, in an easy-to-open and consume bottle.  The flavor is not as bad as other liquid kratom extracts and shots.  I love that the formula does not have useless ingredients crammed in.  And I am very glad that they went back to a Kratom-based formula. Ultimately, despite having gone through a few bad years from many formula changes, it seems the company has gotten this product back on track. I am proud to award Vivazen a 4 star Fat Sammy Rating.

Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating

General Product Info

Vivazen is a liquid Kratom shot that resembles the five hour energy shot look. The product says to consume half the bottle and wait 20 minutes if it is your first time, and to consume the rest as desired. It explains not to use the product while driving or operating heavy machinery. Although some other ingredients are in the formula, Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is the active ingredient they are counting on.

Product Use

I drank half of the bottle, waited 20 minutes, didn’t feel much and drank the rest of the bottle.

Product Effects

Although I didn’t feel much at first, when I consumed the entire contents of the bottle, I began to feel the onset of the Kratom. I felt my mood pick up, I was happier, easier to talk to and more engaging socially. I also suffer from extreme and chronic back and neck pains, arthritis and am regularly participating in MMA, so I have a lot of pain. However, I can say I had no pain at all for the 1.5-2 hours I was on Vivazen.

Final Thoughts

Overall, I had a good time on Vivazen and would say it lasted about an hour and a half or so. The only downside is day 2 I needed 2 bottles to get the same effect…so I can tell my tolerance built rather quickly. That and each bottle costs me $9.99. Although it is a really good high for the price, once in a while…I can’t see this being even a semi-regular thing as tolerance builds way too quickly. Still, this product gets four out of five stars, given its creativity in getting Kratom into an easy to consume liquid form that gives a temporary pain relief that can be felt. Obviously it is too expensive of a medication to use all the time, but I’d classify this as a decent legal high.
