Kratom has gained a lot of traction lately in wellness circles, and for good reason. This plant-based supplement, made from the leaves of the Mitragyna speciosa tree, offers a unique range of effects depending on the strain and dosage—ranging from calm and relaxation to focus and clarity. Whether you're just getting started or fine-tuning your routine, it's essential to know how to use kratom safely and responsibly.

If you’re using kratom powder, kratom capsules, or kratom gummies, getting your dose right makes all the difference.

Know Your Kratom: Strains and Their Effects

Different kratom strains offer distinct experiences:

  • Green Vein Kratom: A middle ground between stimulation and relaxation—ideal for daytime use.

  • Red Vein Kratom: Known for its calming, body-soothing properties—often used in the evening.

  • White Vein Kratom: Offers a more energizing and uplifting effect, helpful for focus and productivity.

At BETT, we've simplified the process with a line of premium kratom gummies, each infused with 30mg of standardized kratom extract. Our strain-specific gummies are crafted for consistency and ease:

Each gummy contains untraceable levels of 7-hydroxymitragynine, the more potent and potentially habit-forming alkaloid. That means you're getting all the benefits of kratom, with extra peace of mind.

Start Small: Our Recommended Kratom Dosage

We recommend starting with just one gummy. That’s it.

While it might be tempting to take more—especially if you’ve used kratom powder in the past—BETT gummies are formulated to deliver a clean, potent, and predictable experience with just a single serving.

Effects typically kick in between 30 to 60 minutes, so always wait before considering another dose. This goes for any kratom product, including powders and capsules.

General Kratom Safety Guidelines

Even if you're not using BETT products, the following best practices apply across the board:

1. Start Low, Stay Mindful

If you're new to kratom, start with a small dose (1–2 grams of powder or 30mg extract) and observe how your body reacts.

2. Avoid Daily Use

Kratom is best used occasionally, not as a daily supplement. Taking breaks between uses helps avoid tolerance and maintains its effectiveness.

3. Don’t Mix with Alcohol or Other Substances

Combining kratom with alcohol, sedatives, or other medications can be dangerous and is strongly discouraged.

4. Stay Hydrated

Kratom can be mildly dehydrating, so make sure you’re drinking plenty of water before, during, and after use.

5. Lab-Tested and Transparent

At BETT, every batch of our kratom extract is third-party lab tested for potency, purity, and safety. We’re proud to say our products contain untraceable amounts of 7-OH, and zero mystery ingredients—just clean, consistent kratom extract.

Why Gummies Might Be Your Best Bet

Let’s face it: kratom powder can be messy, bitter, and hard to dose. With BETT's kratom gummies, you get all the benefits in a clean, convenient form:

  • No prep, no mess

  • Consistent 30mg dose

  • Easy to carry and discreet

  • Tastes great—no more "toss and wash"

Plus, you can choose the strain that suits your needs best, whether it’s Green, Red, or White.

The Bottom Line: Respect the Plant

Kratom can be an incredible part of your wellness toolkit—but like anything potent, it deserves respect. The key is to use it intentionally, follow dosing guidelines, and listen to your body.

With BETT’s lab-tested, precision-dosed kratom gummies, you can experience the plant’s benefits safely and confidently.
