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!

Vivazen Review (Liquid Kratom Shot Experience 2020)

Fat Sam’s Legal High 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.
