Herbals: Extreme UEI Kratom Capsules and Extreme Platinum Liquid Full Spectrum Kratom (Indo Bali)



Hello Friends!

It's been a while since we have had a review, and for that we apologize! As some of you may know, our main supplier of well priced and high quality products was unjustly raided at the end of June, and that paired with our limited funds has made it difficult to obtain product for review.

So, you may wonder, how have we come to have something to review now? Well, our new friends at BestKratom USA have generously provided us with free samples. As a new to the online market provider, they are currently trying to generate relationships with customers by providing samples on occasion, so that potential customers can try before they buy. It seemed a great time to try product from a new provider. Since this is a retail operation, I'm not 100% sure as to where they are getting the product. That is, I am not sure as to whether they are getting it through a wholesaler, or raising the product and deriving the tinctures themselves, but the important part is to know the quality and efficacy.

At first glance, the sample package looked like any other piece of mail, which in itself was nice. Sometimes it is nice to know that there are real people working to give you real products. I was a little skeptical because the sample was not large. I was pleasantly surprised to find a tincture as well as pills though. Seeing as I've never tried a tincture of Kratom, I was instantly looking forward to seeing how well it worked in comparison to pills.

This free sample included 4 .5g pills and one vial with approximately the same amount of liquid kratom (that is, the equivalent of 4/.5g pills). Based on my previous experience with Kratom, I decided to take all of the provided sample. Starting off with the pills, I took all 4 on a pretty full stomach. Since there has been a chunk of time since the last time I had enjoyed Kratom, it seemed to start kicking a little within 30 minutes. I had taken a couple droppers worth of liquid by this time, because I was pretty sure that it was not going to be enough on just the pills alone.

During the time that I was processing and digesting the Kratom into my system, I was in direct contact with the moderator of the Facebook page of BestKratom USA. I find this pretty cool, that they are willing to have direct conversations with consumers and answer questions. There was some difficulty in actually getting the information but after a few tries, I got the information I was looking for. What was I looking for? I was wondering what the actual strain of Kratom was. It was finally established that this product was Indonesian Bali. I have not tried an enhanced Indo blend before, so I was even more looking forward to the experience.

After about 40 minutes, a noticeable relaxation effect was established. Using a specific spot in my back for pain management impact, I began flexing and moving my muscles to gauge the effect. My pain levels have been pretty escalated over the last couple of days, so I was really hoping for a good amount of relief, if not complete relief.
While the owner insisted that only one pill was needed for a successful dose, I will say that one should continue to dose as personally needed. As is pretty well established in the Kratom industry, 2g is considered the active dosage level. This is why I started with all 4 pills instead of taking just one, and by my experience, these pills are not much more potent than others that I have tried. There's no doubt in my mind that a .5g dose of this product would not have had much, if any, positive effect. That's not to say that it's a crappy product. It's more to say that it's completely adequate, and one should have discretion when dosing in order to have a positive experience.
I added the tincture because while the 2g worth of pills I took were having a calming effect, they were having little to no effect on the pain points in my body. At most, this amount was maybe soothing the outer edge of some of the sharper pains. This, I will say, is a good thing, as most Kratom (for me) needs significantly more product in order to really touch my body pain.
The addition of the tincture was a huge plus though. The flavor was a very strong grape-like flavor, rather tart and definitely in need of dilution. This was easily accomplished with water and soda, so I would not be concerned over the flavor impact. When the liquid made contact with my tongue, it did numb it, much like the gel used by a dentist prior to a novacaine shot, so that was a bit pleasant, and showed me that it had some concentrated numbing properties. I imbibed the entirety of the vial provided, and settled in to monitor the effects as they came.

I am happy to say that this product did pretty well. After about an hour and a half, the full effect had settled in. While I still had a modicum of body discomfort, the main pain point that I was gauging by was significantly relieved. Compared to other strains, this was definitely a bonus, as it took 2-3g less than what I generally take to achieve this effect.
My mood was noticeably elevated, and my body felt pretty good. I was able to stretch, twist, and was almost annoyingly bouncing around a bit. Ultimately, I have decided that this was definitely a decent product, and worth the experience.
After a while, the typical body heat increase happened, so I felt warm for a while. This is usually a good thing for me because it makes my body relax even more.

The only particular downside to this product, as far as I have seen, is the price. Compared to other suppliers of infused Indo, it does seem a little expensive. I'm not sure if my experience warrants the price of $5 a pill. Granted, it is cheaper as you increase the amount you purchase, and this supplier does provide the option of buying in bulk to their regular customers (up to a kilo), so for people who want to buy in bulk, it could be a good option. The other bonus of purchasing from this supplier is that they are freely offering customers to buy in bulk and then create their own "brand" so they can sell under the name of their choosing, instead of being a distributor of their brand. So, one can take from it what they will when making a decision to buy. Personally, I would not be able to buy from them at an amount that would make it financially beneficial at this time, so I cannot definitively say that I would choose them for purchasing.

It has been several hours since I took the product, and I'm still feeling the beneficial effects. Pain relief, anxiety relief, and general relaxation are all still pretty well established, and I expect to get a good night of sleep once I finally go to bed.

All in all, I would rate this as a positive experience, and if given the opportunity to experience more of their product, I would be happy to do so. Again, I encourage those reading this to investigate their options, possibly obtain a free sample, and decide for yourself if the cost is reasonable.
