Real Botanicals Review

Broadly speaking, Kratom is a versatile herb primarily used in recreational settings for its stimulative effects at lower dosages. In some cases, users up the dosage to achieve the effects of pain-reduction as well as other, more niche pursuits. Kava, on the other hand, is almost universally used in a recreational setting. In the Pacific Islands, Kava has simply been mixed with water to produce a drinkable brew for centuries, and the effects, while not as versatile, are consistent: it relaxes the user.

Real Botanicals combines both of these recreational herbs to create what they dub the "Kratom and Kava Shot." But what are the benefits of these shots, and is the asking price actually worth the while? Let's answer this question and, if you're curious about the company itself, check out our review of them while you're at it.

Pricing

Typically, pricing around Kratom and Kratom-related products can be difficult to properly cipher since pricing per milligram varies greatly from company to company (and street to street). Using another big name in the industry, Kraken Kratom, we can see that 100mg of Kratom in pill form generally runs about .05USD per mg. Real Botanicals Kratom and Kava Shot has a price of about 0.06USD. The kicker being that Real Botanicals also includes an additional 250mg of Kava mixed with their drink, and offers customers free shipping options.

With Kava mixed into the equation and no price for shipping, Real Botanicals is actually pushing their average price below industry standard, making the Kratom and Kava shot very, very affordable. Where pricing is concerned, we give the Kratom and Kava Shot an A+. The obvious caveat being that that pricing doesn't really matter if a user isn't interested in both Kava and Kratom. Speaking of which, what are the effects, and are they more desirable than what either ingredient can afford users when taken alone?

Effects

As we discussed above, Kratom is very often used in lower dosages (sub-500MG) for it's stimulative properties. While higher dosages can be used to obtain different effects, the Kratom and Kava Shots don't concern themselves with any pursuit that is non-recreational. Speaking, first, just for the Kratom, the shots have two options;

• Mood Boost, which features a mix of 150MG of Kratom and 250MG of Kava extract. This lower dosage of Kratom is a sweet spot for smaller customers who need less Kratom to achieve stimulative effects, or customers who are new to Kratom products and would like to wade into the shallow end of the pool, so to speak. The 150MG of Kratom combines with 250MG of Kava to create a stimulated effect akin to a nice cup of coffee alongside Kava's relaxing properties. At Kratom Experts, we've come to the conclusion that this mix is ideal for mornings prior to work that isn't too physically demanding or for social events (more on that later.)
• Maximum Mood Boost is the second option for these shots. This version comes with 375MG of Kratom mixed in. The higher dosage, of course, giving a much stronger stimulant effect, which is perfect for experienced customers or customers who plan on taking the shot prior to more physically involved activities such as hiking. It's worth noting that Real Botanicals doesn't up the Kava dosage in this version of the shot, meaning users who are used to the weaker version can expect more stimulation without the groggy feeling associated with higher dosages of Kava.

Via Real Botanicals

In terms of effects, Real Botanicals' Kratom and Kava shot achieves exactly what it aims to do: it's an affordable Kratom product that combines the simulating effects of Kratom with the relaxing effects of Kava to give customers a euphoric feeling alongside a strong boost in energy. For smaller, or inexperienced, customers, the Mood Boost option stands as a cheaper alternative to experiment with to see if the Kratom and Kava combination is right for you. For experienced users, Maximum Mood Boost will set your mornings up right, and add an extra sense of alertness to your day.

Real Botanicals Kratom and Kava Shot: Great Value and Use Cases.

Since the pricing value is competitive, all that's really left for customers to figure out with Real Botanicals Kratom and Kava Shots are whether or not they have a use case for the Kava that's mixed in. Bluntly speaking, the Kava really only stands as a benefit to Kratom's inherent effects if the Kratom is being used for enjoyment. That is, Kava is pretty much always a welcome addition.

Additionally, the fact that the shots come in liquid form, unlike many other competing products, means that the shots can be used in social settings to mix with one's favorite drink, for example, which adds an entire social layer that is often missing from pill-form products. Altogether, this product stands as a staple for simple but effective herb mixing for anyone looking to increase the quality of their mornings or social events.
