If you’ve been researching how to take Kratom, you’ve probably come across a few common formats—drinks, powder, and gummies. So which one actually works best? And more importantly, which one fits into your lifestyle without the mess, bitterness, or confusion?

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each method—and why so many people are turning to Kratom gummies as the easiest, most enjoyable way to get the benefits of this plant.

Kratom Powder: The Traditional Method

Kratom powder is probably the most “authentic” form you’ll find. It’s made by drying and grinding the leaves of the Kratom plant into a fine greenish powder.

Pros:

  • Usually the most cost-effective

  • Versatile—you can brew it as tea or mix it with juice

  • Widely available

Cons:

  • Tastes extremely bitter (most people struggle with it)

  • Can be hard to measure accurately

  • Messy and not travel-friendly

  • Takes longer to kick in

Bottom line: Kratom powder works—but it’s not for the faint of heart (or sensitive taste buds).

Kratom Drinks: Pre-Made and On the Go

Kratom drinks are growing in popularity, especially in gas stations and convenience stores. These are usually pre-mixed beverages that contain a dose of Kratom extract.

Pros:

  • Convenient and portable

  • No mixing or brewing required

  • Often flavored to mask the taste

Cons:

  • Can be expensive

  • Ingredients and potency vary a lot

  • Many are loaded with sugar or artificial additives

  • Not always easy to verify quality

Bottom line: Kratom drinks can be convenient, but quality control is hit or miss—and not all of them are transparent about what’s inside.

Kratom Gummies: The BETT Way

Here’s where BETT Kratom Gummies come in. Gummies offer a modern, controlled, and easy way to take Kratom—without bitterness, brewing, or sugar crashes.

Pros:

  • No mess, no bitter taste

  • Pre-measured doses for easy control

  • Made with real fruit flavor (and lab-tested for consistency)

  • Travel-friendly and discreet

  • Vegan and naturally flavored (at BETT)

Cons:

  • Effects may take ~30–45 minutes (like any edible)

  • Some prefer a faster liquid onset

Bottom line: Gummies hit the sweet spot between convenience, flavor, and functionality—especially when made right, like we do at BETT.

Why BETT Gummies Stand Out

We kept it simple: three strains, one clean format.

All lab-tested. All naturally flavored. No weird additives. No bitterness. Just Kratom made better.

Whether you’re brand new to Kratom or just looking for a cleaner way to take it, BETT gummies offer a straightforward, approachable option—no spoonfuls of powder or sketchy gas station drinks required.
