Frequently Asked Questions


Why is your brand called Donuts Kratom? Do your products actually taste like donuts?

While we'd love to share an amazing backstory about the origins of the name Donuts Kratom, the reality is there isn't much to it. The founders were gathered one morning, still in the development stage of perfecting the taste of their kratom shots, when a friend walked in carrying a box of donuts. It was an unusual sight, considering the founders didn't indulge in donuts frequently despite their delectable nature.

Curious about the founders' project, the friend inquired, and they began explaining what kratom was and the challenge they were tackling. In a lighthearted moment, the friend jokingly remarked, "Oh, that sounds cool. Well, eat a donut, maybe it will help." It was in that very instant that something clicked, giving birth to Donuts Kratom. Since that moment, the founders have affectionately referred to the brand as Donuts Kratom.

And just to clarify, no, the shots don't taste like donuts. However, it's worth mentioning that the founders are actively working on crafting some delightful dessert-flavored shots. Whether these make it to the market is still up in the air, but they're exploring the possibility.

What is Kratom?

Mitragyna Speciosa, commonly referred to as kratom, is a tropical tree indigenous to Southeast Asia and belongs to the coffee family. These kratom trees thrive in the lush forests of Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Papua New Guinea. Notably, all kratom imported into the United States originates from Indonesia. The leaves of the kratom tree are carefully harvested from mature trees, subjected to a drying process, and then crushed. For centuries, the locals of Southeast Asia have been utilizing kratom leaves in their cultural practices and daily lives.

Do your products have different strengths?

Donuts Kratom shots are available in two distinct strengths:

  • The Original 100mg

    • Each bottle of The Original 100mg contains 100mg of our premium kratom extract.

    • This extract contains an approximate 45% Mitragynine concentration, providing about 45mg of Mitragynine per bottle.

    • The recommended serving size is 10mL, equivalent to 1/3 of the bottle, delivering 15mg of Mitragynine.

  • The Gold Shot 250mg

    • Every bottle of The Gold Shot 250mg contains 250mg of our premium kratom extract.

    • This extract contains an approximate 45% Mitragynine concentration, providing about 112.5mg of Mitragynine per bottle.

    • The suggested serving size is 10mL, equivalent to 1/3 of the bottle, delivering 37.5mg of Mitragynine.

Understanding the strength of kratom products is crucial, particularly for newcomers to this botanical world. At Donuts Kratom, we specialize in crafting products using kratom extract, a concentrated form of kratom leaves that boasts significantly higher alkaloid potency compared to standard kratom leaf powder.

Our method of indicating strength involves specifying the total amount of extract used in each product. For instance, our kratom shots are expertly prepared with our exclusive "Golden Kratom Extract," which consistently contains approximately 45% Mitragynine concentration. While the exact Mitragynine concentration may vary slightly from batch to batch, it typically falls within the 45-50% range. This equates to approximately 45mg of Mitragynine for every 100mg of our extract.

To accurately gauge the potency of kratom products, it's essential to examine whether the product identifies its strength based on total extract or total Mitragynine. This distinction can significantly influence the product's potency. For instance, other kratom products may use extracts with 70% Mitragynine concentration, meaning you'd get 70mg of Mitragynine per 100mg of extract. Conversely, there are also 30% Mitragynine concentration extracts, where 100mg of extract yields 30mg of Mitragynine. As you can see, the potency level of a kratom product can vary significantly based on the Mitragynine concentration of the extract.

Unfortunately, not all kratom products clearly label their potency, leading to confusion for consumers. To ensure you make an informed choice, we encourage you to reach out to the manufacturer for clarification if you are uncertain about a product's strength before consumption. If the manufacturer cannot provide a clear answer, it may be best to consider alternative options. Your safety and satisfaction are of utmost importance to us.
