Quick answer: Third Eye is a kratom brand sold by Bedrock Botanicals in four formats: 150mg extract shots in fruit flavors, Maeng Da powders in 60g, 125g and 250g bags, Maeng Da capsules in 12 to 300 counts, and a kava + kratom drink. Five Maeng Da varieties are available. Every product is leaf-only, third-party lab tested and sold 21+.

What formats does Third Eye kratom come in?

Here’s the full Third Eye lineup at Bedrock, with starting prices as of November 2026:

What are the Third Eye extract shots?

Third Eye’s shots are single bottles of kratom leaf extract, each labeled 150mg in a 15 mL bottle, in two fruit flavors: Strawberry Mango Pineapple and Passionfruit Orange Guava, both $17.99. The 150mg is the label figure for the whole bottle, and the batch COA confirms it for your lot. For how shot labels work, see what kratom shots are. For comparison, the carried brand K-Tropix sells a 15 mL shot at $19.99.

Which Maeng Da varieties does Third Eye make?

Third Eye’s powders and capsules are all Maeng Da, in five varieties:

• White Maeng Da: white-vein leaf, in powder and capsules
• Red Maeng Da: red-vein leaf, in powder and capsules
• Green Maeng Da: green-vein leaf, in powder and capsules
• Gold Maeng Da: Third Eye’s Gold variety, in powder and capsules
• Aurora Maeng Da: Third Eye’s Aurora variety, in powder and capsules

“Maeng Da” is a trade name for a kratom leaf variety, and vein color refers to the leaf’s central vein at harvest and how it’s dried. Gold and Aurora are Third Eye’s own variety names; each product page lists the details.

What sizes do Third Eye powders and capsules come in?

Third Eye sticks to smaller sizes than most brands, which makes it easy to try one variety before buying more:

Both are Bedrock’s own brands. Choose Third Eye for smaller quantities or the Gold and Aurora varieties, and Kratom Gorilla for bulk bags and 1-gram Jumbo capsules.

What is the Third Eye Kava + Kratom drink?

Third Eye Kava + Kratom (Pineapple) is a ready-to-drink product that lists both kava root and kratom leaf as ingredients. It’s $7.99 as a single or available in a 12-pack. Kava and kratom are different plants; see kratom vs kava for how they compare. Bedrock does not advise on combining products or on how much of any product to use. Follow the label, and ask a qualified medical professional about personal use.

Is Third Eye kratom legal?

Kratom leaf is not federally scheduled in the U.S., but several states restrict or ban it. In 2026 the DEA moved to temporarily schedule 7-OH. Bedrock sells leaf-only kratom and does not ship to restricted states. Check the kratom legality by state tracker before you order.

Third Eye kratom FAQ

What does Third Eye kratom sell?

Third Eye sells kratom leaf in four formats: 150mg extract shots, Maeng Da powders in 60g, 125g and 250g bags, Maeng Da capsules in 12 to 300 counts, and a kava + kratom drink. All are leaf-only, third-party lab tested and sold 21+.

What Maeng Da varieties does Third Eye make?

Five: White, Red, Green, Gold and Aurora Maeng Da. Each comes in both powder and capsules. White, Red and Green refer to vein color; Gold and Aurora are Third Eye’s own variety names, and each product page lists the details.

What does 150mg mean on a Third Eye shot?

It is the label figure for the alkaloid content of the whole bottle. Check the batch COA to confirm it for your lot.

Is Third Eye kratom a hallucinogen?

No. Kratom is the leaf of Mitragyna speciosa, a tree in the coffee family, and is not classified as a hallucinogen. It is a different plant from anything named for the “third eye”; the brand name is just a name.

Is Third Eye kratom legal?

Kratom leaf is not federally scheduled, but several states restrict or ban it, and the DEA moved in 2026 to temporarily schedule 7-OH. Bedrock sells leaf-only kratom and does not ship to restricted states. See the kratom legality by state tracker and verify your current local law before ordering.

How does Third Eye compare to Kratom Gorilla?

Both are owned brands at Bedrock. Third Eye centers on Maeng Da in smaller bag and capsule sizes (60g to 250g, 12 to 300 count) plus fruit-flavored shots. Kratom Gorilla offers larger bags (250g to 1kg), 1-gram Jumbo capsules and four shot flavors.

Shop the full line on the Kratom Gorilla brand page. Top seller: Kratom Gorilla Howler 150mg.

Quick answer: Kratom Gorilla makes kratom leaf products in four formats: 150mg extract shots (Howler, Silver Back, Orangutang, Haramberry), Jumbo capsules with 1 gram per capsule, standard capsules in 40 to 400 counts, and powder in 250g, 500g and 1kg bags. Every product is third-party lab tested, leaf-only and sold to adults 21+.

What formats does Kratom Gorilla come in?

Here’s the full lineup Bedrock carries, with starting prices as of October 2026:

What are the Kratom Gorilla extract shots?

The shots are single bottles of kratom leaf extract, each labeled 150mg. Howler (Lemon Lime) is the top seller, alongside Silver Back and Orangutang at $17.99. Haramberry is $12.99 as a single and also comes in a 15-pack. The 150mg is the label figure for the whole bottle, and the batch COA confirms it for your lot. Our guide to kratom shots covers how shot labels work, and the MIT percentage explainer covers how alkaloid content is stated.

For comparison, the carried brand K-Tropix sells a 15 mL shot at $19.99. Kratom Gorilla’s 150mg shots start at $12.99 (Haramberry) and $17.99 for the rest of the line. Bedrock’s other owned brand, Third Eye kratom, offers fruit-flavored 150mg shots and Maeng Da in smaller sizes.

What is the difference between Jumbos and regular capsules?

Both are pre-filled capsules of ground kratom leaf. The difference is fill and count:

Jumbos’ 1-gram fill makes label math easy: a 100-count bottle holds 100 grams of leaf, about 20¢ per gram at the 100-count price.

Which Kratom Gorilla varieties are available?

Kratom Gorilla names its varieties by vein color and traditional regional name:

• Red Bali: red-vein leaf, in powder, capsules and Jumbos
• Green Malay: green-vein leaf, in powder, capsules and Jumbos
• White Maeng Da / White Vein: white-vein leaf, in powder, capsules and Jumbos
• Yellow Thai: in powder and capsules

Vein color refers to the color of the leaf’s central vein at harvest and how the leaf is dried. Regional names like “Bali” and “Malay” are trade names for leaf varieties, not always the exact growing location.

How does Kratom Gorilla powder compare on price?

Powder is the lowest price per gram in the lineup. A 250g bag at $29.99 works out to about 12¢ per gram, compared with about 20¢ per gram for 100-count Jumbos. Larger 500g and 1000g bags are listed on each product page. Powder is the most work to prepare, though: it has to be measured and mixed, while capsules and shots are pre-portioned.

Where does Bedrock ship Kratom Gorilla?

Bedrock sells to adults 21+ and does not ship kratom to states where it is restricted. See our kratom legality by state tracker before ordering. Bedrock does not advise on how much of any product to use; follow the product label, and ask a qualified medical professional about personal use.

What does Kratom Gorilla sell?

Four formats: 150mg kratom extract shots (Howler, Silver Back, Orangutang, Haramberry), Jumbo capsules with 1 gram of leaf per capsule, standard capsules in 40 to 400 counts, and loose powder in 250g, 500g and 1kg bags. All are kratom leaf products, third-party lab tested and sold 21+.

What is the difference between Kratom Gorilla Jumbos and regular capsules?

Jumbos hold 1 gram of kratom leaf per capsule and come in 100, 250 and 600 counts. The regular capsule line comes in 40, 90, 200 and 400 counts and covers four varieties: Red Bali, Green Malay, White Maeng Da and Yellow Thai.

What does 150mg mean on a Kratom Gorilla shot?

It is the label figure for the alkaloid content of the whole bottle. Check the batch COA to confirm the figure for your lot. Our MIT percentage explainer covers how kratom labels state alkaloid content.

Which Kratom Gorilla varieties come in powder?

Red Bali, Green Malay, White Maeng Da and Yellow Thai, each in 250g, 500g and 1000g bags.

Does Kratom Gorilla contain 7-OH?

Bedrock sells kratom leaf products only. Check each product’s COA for the alkaloid panel.

Worked example: Kava Kazees Kava Shot, 1000mg kavalactones.

Quick answer: Kava extract and kavalactones are different measurements. “Kava extract (mg)” is the total weight of concentrated kava material. “Kavalactones (mg)” is the weight of kava’s measured compounds inside it. Extracts are typically standardized to about 30% kavalactones, so 1000mg of extract is roughly 300mg of kavalactones. Always compare kavalactones to kavalactones.

What are kavalactones?

Kavalactones are the group of compounds labs measure in kava (Piper methysticum) root. According to the U.S. National Toxicology Program’s kava summary, fifteen lactones have been isolated from kava rootstock, and six of them make up about 96% of the root’s lipid resin:

• Kavain
• Dihydrokavain
• Methysticin
• Dihydromethysticin
• Yangonin
• Desmethoxyyangonin

The same source reports that kavalactones can range from about 3% to 20% of kava root dry weight, depending on the cultivar and the age of the plant. That variation is why a kava label needs a measured number, not just a root or extract weight.

What does “kava extract (mg)” mean on a label?

“Kava extract” is the total weight of the concentrated material made from the root. It includes kavalactones plus everything else the extraction carries along. The NTP summary notes that commercial kava products are typically standardized to 30% kavalactones. Using that common standard:

Three of those labels say “1000mg,” and they describe very different amounts of kavalactones. Only a label that names kavalactones tells you the number directly. For anything else, you need the extract percentage or a COA.

How does Kava Kazees state its 1000mg?

Kava Kazees lists 1000mg of kavalactones per bottle. That’s the measured compound figure, not total extract weight and not root weight. It’s the same unit a lab reports on a certificate of analysis, so you can check the label against the batch COA directly. For the full product breakdown, see our Kava Kazees brand guide.

How do you compare kava products on price?

Once two labels are in the same unit, divide the price by the kavalactone content. Here are the two kava-only shots Bedrock carries, both labeled in kavalactones (prices as of October 2026):

If a product lists only extract or root weight, you can’t fill in that last column without the extract percentage or a lab report. Ask the seller for the batch COA before you compare.

What should a kava COA show?

A certificate of analysis is a third-party lab report for one specific batch. For a kava product, check that it shows:

1. Total kavalactones, ideally with the six major kavalactones broken out
2. A lot or batch number that matches the number on your bottle or can
3. The testing lab’s name and the test date
4. Contaminant panels (heavy metals, microbials) where the lab provides them

Our guide to reading a COA walks through a lab report section by section. It’s written for kratom, but the layout is the same.

Do kava seltzers list kavalactones?

Not always. Some canned kava drinks list kava extract or a proprietary blend instead of a kavalactone figure. If the can doesn’t name kavalactones, ask for the COA. See what kava seltzers are and what kava shots are for how each format is labeled. New to the plant? Start with what is kava.

Bedrock does not advise on how much of any product to use. Follow the product label, and ask a qualified medical professional about personal use.

Kavalactones vs kava extract FAQ

What is the difference between kavalactones and kava extract?

Kava extract is the total weight of the concentrated material made from kava root. Kavalactones are the specific measured compounds inside that extract. Commercial kava extracts are typically standardized to about 30% kavalactones, so 1000mg of extract is roughly 300mg of kavalactones.

How many mg of kavalactones are in Kava Kazees?

1000mg of kavalactones per bottle, stated as kavalactones on the label, not as total extract weight.

What percentage of kava root is kavalactones?

The U.S. National Toxicology Program reports kavalactones can range from about 3% to 20% of kava root dry weight, depending on cultivar and plant age.

How do I compare two kava products fairly?

Convert both to the same unit: milligrams of kavalactones per bottle or can. Then divide price by that number to get price per 100mg of kavalactones. If a label only lists extract or root weight, ask the seller for the batch COA.

What is a kava COA?

A certificate of analysis is a third-party lab report for a specific batch. For kava, look for a kavalactone total (often with a breakdown of the six major kavalactones) and the batch or lot number that matches your product.

Featured: Kava Kazees Kava Shot 1000mg (Raspberry Hibiscus). Shop the full brand page at Kava Kazees.

Quick answer: Kava Kazees is a kava shot brand sold by Bedrock Botanicals. Its shot is a ready-to-drink bottle of kava (Piper methysticum) root in Raspberry Hibiscus flavor, labeled 1000mg of kavalactones, priced at $12.99, third-party lab tested, and sold to adults 21+. Shake it before opening and refrigerate after opening.

What is a Kava Kazees shot?

A Kava Kazees shot is a single-bottle liquid made from kava root. Kava is a pepper-family shrub from the South Pacific, prepared as a traditional drink for centuries in Fiji, Vanuatu and Tonga. The shot format puts kava into a small screw-cap bottle with flavoring, so there’s nothing to mix or strain, unlike kava powder.

Here’s what the bottle shows:

What does “1000mg” mean on the Kava Kazees bottle?

The 1000mg on Kava Kazees is kavalactones: the active, measured compounds in kava root, which labs report on a certificate of analysis (COA). It is not the total weight of kava extract in the bottle.

That distinction matters when you compare shots, because kava labels use milligrams in two ways:

1. Kavalactones (mg): the measured compounds. This is how Kava Kazees states its 1000mg.
2. Kava extract (mg): the total weight of extract, which is a different, larger measure.

A bottle labeled “1000mg kava extract” and one labeled “1000mg kavalactones” are not the same thing. Check which unit each label uses, and match it to the batch COA, before you compare value per bottle. Our explainer on kavalactones vs kava extract shows the conversion with examples.

Bedrock does not advise on how much of any product to use. Follow the label, and ask a qualified medical professional about personal use.

How does Kava Kazees compare to other kava shots?

Bedrock carries two kava-only shots. Here’s how their labels and prices compare as of October 2026:

Both labels state kavalactones, so this is a like-for-like comparison. Kava Kazees lists 4x the kavalactones of Tru Moods Green per bottle, which works out to roughly half the price per 100mg of kavalactones ($12.99 ÷ 10 vs $6.99 ÷ 2.5). If you want a seltzer instead of a shot, Ava Kava sells 12 oz kava seltzers; see what kava seltzers are.

Is Kava Kazees the same as a kratom shot?

No. Kava Kazees is made from kava root, a pepper-family plant. Kratom shots such as Kratom Gorilla Howler are made from kratom leaf, a coffee-family tree from Southeast Asia. They’re different plants with different legal status in some states. Our kratom vs kava comparison covers the differences in full.

Is Kava Kazees legal?

At the federal level, kava is not a controlled substance. The DEA’s kava fact sheet (April 2026) states that “Kava is not controlled under the Controlled Substances Act.” There is no state ban regime for kava like there is for kratom. Bedrock sells kava to adults 21+ only.

How should you store a Kava Kazees shot?

Keep unopened bottles somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight, and refrigerate after opening. Shake well before opening, since kava settles in liquid. Check that the cap seal is intact and the lot number is printed before you buy. For more on the shot format, see what kava shots are, and for the plant itself, what is kava.

Kava Kazees FAQ

What is Kava Kazees?

Kava Kazees is a kava shot brand sold at Bedrock Botanicals. Its current product is a ready-to-drink kava shot in Raspberry Hibiscus with 1000mg of kavalactones per bottle, made from kava (Piper methysticum) root.

What flavor is the Kava Kazees shot?

Raspberry Hibiscus. The liquid is pink, and the bottle has a black screw cap and a tiki-style label.

What does 1000mg mean on Kava Kazees?

It means 1000mg of kavalactones, kava’s active measured compounds, per bottle. That is different from \”1000mg kava extract,\” which is total extract weight. Compare kavalactones to kavalactones when you look at other brands.

How much does a Kava Kazees shot cost?

$12.99 per bottle at Bedrock Botanicals, as of October 2026.

Does Kava Kazees contain kratom?

No. Kava Kazees is a kava product. Kava and kratom are different plants. If you want a combined product, Bedrock lists those separately, such as Third Eye Kava + Kratom.

How should I store Kava Kazees?

Store it cool, and refrigerate after opening, per the product listing. Shake well before use, as the bottle directs.

Featured: Ava Kava Pineapple Hibiscus kava seltzer, a 12 oz noble kava seltzer, one of six Ava Kava flavors at Bedrock.

Quick answer: Kava seltzers are canned, carbonated drinks made with kava (Piper methysticum) root, plus water and flavoring. Most come in 12 oz cans and are sold as singles or 12-packs. To compare them, look at can size, kava type (noble or not), the kavalactone figure on the can, price per can, and whether a lab report is available.

What is in a kava seltzer?

Kava is the root of a pepper-family shrub native to the South Pacific. The DEA’s kava fact sheet describes it as “a perennial shrub native to the South Pacific Islands.” For centuries the root has been ground and mixed with water as a traditional drink in Fiji, Vanuatu and Tonga. A kava seltzer takes that root, prepares it as an extract or concentrate, and blends it into sparkling water with natural flavoring and usually a sweetener.

A typical kava seltzer label lists:

• Can size: 12 fl oz is standard
• Kava type: look for “noble kava,” the cultivars traditionally grown for drinking
• Kavalactone content: kavalactones are kava’s measured compounds. Some brands print mg per can, and some don’t
• Flavor and full ingredient list
• Lot number, 21+ notice and FDA disclaimer

If a can doesn’t list kavalactones, ask the seller for the batch COA (certificate of analysis) before you compare brands on content.

How are kava seltzers different from kava shots, kava powder and kratom seltzers?

All of these are ready-to-buy formats, but they differ in plant, package size and price.

The main trade-off is preparation versus price. Powder costs the least per serving of root but has to be mixed and strained. A seltzer costs more per can and is opened cold, with nothing to prepare. Shots fall in between: concentrated, small and shelf-stable. For the shot format, see what kava shots are.

What flavors do Ava Kava seltzers come in?

Bedrock carries six Ava Kava flavors, each in a 12 oz can at $5.99, sold as a single or a case of 12:

• Tangerine
• Pineapple Hibiscus
• Prosecco (alcohol-free; the name describes the flavor)
• Margarita (alcohol-free; flavor only)
• Melonade
• Cucumber Lime

Buying a case of 12 is the easiest way to compare price per can against single cans. If you’re trying the format for the first time, a mixed set of singles lets you compare flavors before you commit to a case.

How do kava seltzer brands compare?

The kava seltzer category is young, and new brands launch regularly. In August 2026, Vibes Beverages announced Hot Tropic, a canned kava seltzer co-manufactured by Burma Brewing in Fort Myers, Florida. At launch it was distributed in Florida, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Ohio and New York. Its release did not list a can size, kavalactone figure or price.

That gap is common in the category, so compare brands on what they actually publish:

Are kava seltzers legal?

At the federal level, yes. The DEA’s kava fact sheet (April 2026) states that “Kava is not controlled under the Controlled Substances Act.” Local rules and retailer age limits vary. Bedrock sells to adults 21+ only. Kava is a different plant from kratom, so kratom state bans don’t automatically apply to kava; see kratom vs kava for how the two differ. Verify your current local law before ordering.

How should you store kava seltzers?

Keep unopened cans somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight, and refrigerate after opening, as the label directs. Serve chilled. Check the lot number and use-by date on the can, and don’t buy dented or bulging cans. For background on the plant itself, read what is kava.

Kava seltzers FAQ

What is a kava seltzer?

A kava seltzer is a canned, carbonated drink made with kava (Piper methysticum) root, plus water, flavoring and usually a sweetener. Ava Kava seltzers, for example, come in 12 oz cans in flavors like Tangerine and Prosecco.

Is a kava seltzer the same as a kava shot?

No. Both are ready-to-drink, but a shot is a small, concentrated bottle (Kava Kazees lists 1000mg on a single shot). A seltzer is a full 12 oz carbonated can meant to be sipped like any canned drink.

Do kava seltzers contain kratom?

Kava and kratom are different plants. Kava is a pepper-family root from the South Pacific; kratom is a coffee-family leaf from Southeast Asia. Ava Kava seltzers are kava-only. Some other brands sell combined kava + kratom drinks, so read the ingredient list.

Is kava legal in the U.S.?

Under federal law, yes. The DEA’s April 2026 kava fact sheet states that kava is not controlled under the Controlled Substances Act. Verify your current local law before ordering.

How should I store kava seltzers?

Store unopened cans somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight, and refrigerate after opening, per the product label. Serve chilled.

Published by Bedrock Botanicals.

Featured: Kratom Gorilla Howler 150mg kratom shot, a leaf-extract shot from Bedrock’s own Kratom Gorilla line.

Quick answer: Kratom shots are small bottles of liquid kratom leaf extract, usually 10–60 mL, often flavored, and sold as a single ready-to-drink unit. The label gives the alkaloid content, most often as total milligrams of mitragynine (MIT) per bottle. To compare shots, look at bottle size, MIT milligrams, price, and whether a batch COA is published.

What exactly is in a kratom shot?

A kratom shot starts as dried Mitragyna speciosa leaf, a tree in the coffee family (Rubiaceae) native to Southeast Asia. The leaf is extracted to concentrate its alkaloids, then blended into a liquid base with water, flavoring and sometimes sweetener. Mitragynine is the main alkaloid in kratom leaf, so it is the number most brands print on the front of the bottle.

A typical shot label shows:

• Net volume (for example, 15 mL or 2 fl oz)
• Alkaloid content (for example, “150mg MIT” per bottle)
• Flavor and ingredient list
• Batch or lot number, which links the bottle to its lab report
• 21+ warning and FDA disclaimer

How are kratom shots different from powder, capsules and seltzers?

All four formats start from the same leaf. The differences are processing, packaging, how the label is stated, and price per unit.

Shots come in the smallest package of the four, so they cost the most per mg of alkaloid. What you pay for is a measured, pre-portioned liquid that needs no preparation. Powder costs the least per gram and is the most work to prepare.

How do you read the mg number on a kratom shot label?

On most shot labels the milligram figure is the total mitragynine in the whole bottle. It is not a per-sip figure and not a recommendation. A “150mg” Kratom Gorilla or Third Eye shot states 150 mg of MIT across the full bottle.

Two checks make that number trustworthy:

1. Match the lot number to a COA. A certificate of analysis from a third-party lab should list MIT and any other alkaloids measured, plus contaminant panels. Our guide on how to read a kratom COA walks through each section.
2. Compare like with like. Some brands print MIT per bottle and others print extract milligrams, which is a different measurement. Our explainer on MIT percentage in kratom covers the difference.

Bedrock does not advise on how much of any product to use. Follow the product label, and ask a qualified medical professional about anything to do with personal use.

How do kratom shot brands compare on size and price?

Here is how the shots Bedrock carries compare, using listed prices and label specs as of October 2026:

The comparison shows the trade-off. Tru Moods comes in a larger 2 oz bottle at a lower price but lists less MIT. Kratom Gorilla and Third Eye list 150 mg in a smaller, flavored shot. Price per mg of MIT is the fairest way to compare: $17.99 ÷ 150 mg is about 12¢ per mg, and $12.99 ÷ 120 mg is about 11¢ per mg.

What does “nano” mean on a kratom shot?

“Nano” is a processing and marketing term. It means the brand has reduced the particle size of the extract or emulsified it so it mixes evenly into the liquid. It describes how the liquid is made, not what is in it. Read the alkaloid content on the label and COA the same way you would for any other shot.

Are kratom shots legal?

Kratom leaf is not federally scheduled in the U.S., but states set their own rules. In July 2026 the DEA announced it would temporarily place 7-OH and three related substances in Schedule I. Bedrock sells leaf-only kratom and does not ship to states where kratom is restricted. See our kratom legality by state tracker, and verify your current local law before ordering.

How should you store kratom shots?

Store shots capped and upright in a cool, dark spot, away from heat and direct sunlight. Before you buy, check that the seal is intact and that the bottle shows a batch number and expiration date. For other liquid formats, see what kava shots are and how kratom and kava compare.

Kratom shots FAQ

What is a kratom shot?

A kratom shot is a small, single-bottle liquid made from a kratom leaf extract, usually flavored and sold in a 10–60 mL bottle. The label lists the alkaloid content, most often as milligrams of mitragynine (MIT) per bottle.

Are kratom shots the same as kratom extracts?

Kratom shots are one kind of extract product. “Extract” describes how the leaf is processed. “Shot” describes the format: a ready-to-drink liquid in a small bottle. Bedrock lists both under its Kratom Extracts and Kratom Shots categories.

What does 150mg mean on a kratom shot?

On most labels the milligram figure is the total mitragynine content in the whole bottle. It is not a serving recommendation. Check the brand’s certificate of analysis (COA) to confirm that number for your batch.

Do kratom shots contain 7-OH?

Bedrock sells kratom leaf products only. The DEA moved in 2026 to temporarily place 7-OH (7-hydroxymitragynine) in Schedule I, so look for leaf-only products and read the COA’s alkaloid panel before you buy.

How should I store kratom shots?

Keep them capped, upright, and out of heat and direct sunlight. Check the batch number and expiration date on the bottle, and don’t buy a shot with a broken seal.

Kratom and kava are two unrelated plants that are often shelved side by side: kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a Southeast Asian tree in the coffee family harvested for its leaves, while kava (Piper methysticum) is a Pacific Island shrub in the pepper family harvested for its root. They differ in origin, plant part, measured compounds, formats and legal status. This guide compares them side by side. Shop both in our kratom and kava collections. Published by Bedrock Botanicals.

What is the difference between kratom and kava?

Where do kratom and kava come from?

Kratom grows across Southeast Asia, where leaves have historically been chewed fresh or brewed as tea in Thailand and Malaysia. Today leaves are dried and milled into powder. Kava was domesticated in northern Vanuatu about 3,000 years ago and spread across the Pacific, where the root is prepared as a communal drink in ceremonies such as the Fijian sevusevu.

Kratom lab reports center on alkaloids, especially mitragynine; see our MIT percentage guide. Kava reports center on kavalactones, sometimes expressed as a six-digit chemotype. Because the compound classes are unrelated, a kratom number and a kava number cannot be compared. Each label should be read on its own terms, ideally with a batch number that links to a certificate of analysis.

How do the product formats compare?

For how shots are labeled, see what are kava shots.

How are kratom and kava regulated?

Kava is not a controlled substance; the DEA’s fact sheet confirms it is unscheduled (DEA Diversion Control Division). Natural kratom leaf is also not federally controlled, but concentrated and synthetic 7-OH products were placed in Schedule I on August 6, 2026, and several states ban kratom outright. Bedrock Botanicals sells natural leaf only and does not ship kratom to banned states. Check yours on our kratom legality by state page.

How do other sellers compare them?

Many sellers frame kratom vs kava around how each one feels. Root of Happiness, a kava brand, ranks with a kratom-vs-kava article built that way. Bedrock Botanicals compares them on verifiable facts instead: plant, origin, compounds, lab testing, formats and law.

Frequently asked questions

Are kratom and kava the same plant?

No. Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a Southeast Asian tree in the coffee family; kava (Piper methysticum) is a Pacific shrub in the pepper family.

Which part of each plant is used?

Kratom products come from the leaf. Kava products come from the root.

Are kratom and kava legal in the U.S.?

Neither natural kratom leaf nor kava is federally scheduled. Kratom is banned in some states; kava is sold nationwide. Verify your local law before ordering.

What formats do they come in?

Both are sold as powder, liquid shots and seltzers. Kratom is also widely sold in capsules.

Can you take kratom and kava together?

We do not advise on combining products. Talk to a healthcare professional.

Want both plants in one bottle? A kava + kratom blend shot like Third Eye Clear + Focus combines them in a single 60 ml serving — here’s how it stacks up against Feel Free.

Kava is the root of Piper methysticum, a member of the pepper family that farmers in northern Vanuatu domesticated roughly 3,000 years ago. The root is ground, mixed with water and strained into a traditional drink shared across the South Pacific. Today it is sold as root powder, extracts, ready-to-drink shots like Kava Kazees, and sparkling seltzers like Ava Kava. Published by Bedrock Botanicals.

What is kava, exactly?

Kava is a slow-growing perennial shrub in the Piperaceae family, the same family as black pepper. Its wild ancestor is Piper wichmannii. Cultivated kava is sterile, so every plant is grown from cuttings, and Pacific farmers have selected hundreds of cultivars this way. The harvested part is the root and rhizome, usually after about four years. The name comes from Tongan and Marquesan and means roughly “bitter.” Source: Kava, botanical summary.

Where does kava come from?

What are kavalactones?

Kavalactones are the compounds labs measure in kava root. Eighteen have been identified; six make up most of the total: kavain, dihydrokavain, methysticin, dihydromethysticin, yangonin and desmethoxyyangonin. Labs often report them as a six-digit “chemotype” that ranks them by abundance. Shot labels often list kavalactone milligrams; see what are kava shots for how to read them.

What is the difference between noble and tudei kava?

Noble kava refers to cultivars Pacific communities have long favored for everyday drinking. Tudei (“two-day”) kava refers to other cultivars, which Vanuatu reserves for ceremonies and does not allow to be exported. Vanuatu’s Kava Act of 2002 limits exports to noble cultivars such as Borogu, Melomelo and Palarasul. Look for “noble” and “root only” on the label, backed by a lab test. Source: PHAMA Plus on the kava export industry.

Is kava legal in the United States?

Kava is not a controlled substance under federal law; the DEA’s fact sheet confirms it is not scheduled (DEA Diversion Control Division). Rules abroad vary: Germany’s 2002 ban was overturned in 2014, and Australia raised its personal import limit to 4 kg in December 2019. Products that blend kava with kratom follow kratom law; see kratom legality by state.

What forms of kava can you buy?

Comparing kava with kratom? See kratom vs kava for plant, origin, formats and legal status side by side.

How do you judge kava quality before buying?

• Cultivar: “noble,” ideally with cultivar and country of origin.
• Plant part: root and rhizome only.
• Lab testing: a COA with kavalactone content and contaminant screening.
• Transparency: source country named and batch numbers on the package.

Frequently asked questions

What part of the kava plant is used?

The root and rhizome. Leaves and stems are excluded from quality kava under Pacific export rules.

Where is the best kava grown?

Vanuatu and Fiji are the largest producers. Vanuatu is kava’s place of origin and exports only noble cultivars under its Kava Act.

What does noble kava mean?

It means the kava comes from cultivars long favored for everyday drinking in the Pacific, as opposed to tudei cultivars, which Vanuatu does not export.

Is kava a controlled substance in the U.S.?

No. The DEA confirms kava is not scheduled under the Controlled Substances Act. Verify your local law before ordering.

What does kava taste like?

Earthy, peppery and bitter. The word kava traces to a Polynesian word for bitter.

A kava shot is a small, ready-to-drink bottle (usually 2 to 4 oz) made with extract from the root of the kava plant, Piper methysticum. Instead of preparing kava powder yourself, you get a fixed, labeled amount of kava extract or kavalactones in one bottle. This guide explains how kava shots are made and labeled, how to compare them, and how they differ from powder and seltzers. Our own Kava Kazees 1000mg kava shot is used as the example throughout.

What is in a kava shot?

Kava shots are made from kava root extract mixed with water and flavoring. The root contains kavalactones, the compound class labs measure in kava; researchers have identified 18 kavalactones, six of which make up most of the total (source: Kava, botanical summary). For background on the plant itself, read What Is Kava? For the kratom equivalent, see what are kratom seltzers.

How are kava shots labeled?

Labels use one of two numbers, and they are not the same thing:

• Kava extract (mg): the total weight of extract in the bottle. Kava Kazees lists 1,000 mg of kava extract in a 4 oz bottle.
• Kavalactones (mg): the measured compounds within that extract. Tru Moods Green Kava Shot lists 800 mg of kava extract and 250 mg of kavalactones in 2 oz.

When comparing brands, kavalactone milligrams are the more direct comparison, because extract strength varies. If a label lists only extract, look for a batch number and certificate of analysis (COA).

How do kava shots compare with kava powder and seltzers?

For the seltzer format, see the kava seltzer collection, including Ava Kava flavors.

Who makes kava shots?

The kava shot category has grown quickly. Leilo is one of the best-known national kava shot brands. Bedrock Botanicals makes Kava Kazees and carries Tru Moods, so you can compare a 4 oz extract shot and a 2 oz kavalactone-labeled shot side by side in our kava shots collection.

What should you check before buying a kava shot?

• Kava type: noble kava root, stated on the label or product page.
• The label number: extract mg vs kavalactone mg, and the bottle size.
• Batch number: so you can match the product to its lab results.
• Combo shots: shots that blend kava with kratom follow kratom law. Check our kratom legality by state page and verify your current local law before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

What is a kava shot?

A kava shot is a small ready-to-drink bottle, usually 2 to 4 oz, made with kava root extract and labeled with milligrams of kava extract or kavalactones.

What do the milligrams on a kava shot mean?

Labels list either total kava extract or kavalactones, the measured compounds in kava root. Kavalactone mg is the more direct number to compare between brands.

Are kava shots the same as kava powder?

No. Powder is ground root you prepare yourself; a shot is a pre-mixed liquid extract with a fixed amount per bottle.

Are kava and kratom combo shots legal everywhere?

No. Any shot with kratom follows kratom law, which bans it in some states. Check your state before ordering.
