How Kratom Extract Is Made: Understanding the Process Behind Liquid Kratom

Kratom is more than just a plant—it’s a powerful natural alternative with a complex extraction process that enhances its potency and effectiveness. But how does kratom go from raw leaves to high-quality liquid extract?

At Lockhold, we use a meticulous extraction process to ensure our liquid kratom is the purest, most potent, and most effective option on the market. This blog will break down:

✅ How kratom extract is made—from leaf to liquid
✅ The difference between raw kratom powder and liquid kratom
✅ Why Lockhold’s extraction process ensures purity and potency

If you’ve ever wondered how liquid kratom is created, let’s take a deep dive into the science behind it.

Step 1: Sourcing High-Quality Kratom Leaves

Everything starts with the raw material—the leaves of the Mitragyna speciosa tree, which grows in Southeast Asia. The quality of the leaves directly impacts the potency and effectiveness of the final product.

🌱 Lockhold’s sourcing standards:
✔️ Only mature, alkaloid-rich leaves are harvested.
✔️ Sourced from trusted, sustainable farms in Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia.
✔️ Grown in ideal soil conditions for maximum alkaloid content.

💡 Why it matters: Many low-quality kratom products use immature leaves or blends of different leaf types, leading to inconsistent potency.

Step 2: Drying & Curing for Alkaloid Preservation

Once harvested, the leaves undergo a controlled drying and curing process to preserve alkaloids (the active compounds responsible for kratom’s effects).

☀️ Two Common Drying Methods:

• Sun-dried: Produces lighter-colored kratom with slightly more stimulating effects.
• Shade-dried: Preserves more alkaloids and creates a richer, more balanced kratom extract.

💡 Lockhold’s method: We use a precise balance of drying techniques to optimize alkaloid preservation, ensuring consistency in every bottle.

Step 3: Grinding & Preparing for Extraction

After drying, the leaves are ground into a fine powder, making it easier to extract the alkaloids and beneficial plant compounds.

🔹 At this stage, some kratom brands stop the process and sell raw powder. However, raw powder isn’t as bioavailable as liquid kratom—meaning your body absorbs less of the active ingredients.

💡 Why Lockhold uses extraction: By creating a liquid extract, we ensure higher absorption, faster onset, and better consistency.

Step 4: Extracting the Alkaloids

Now comes the most important step—extracting the powerful alkaloids from the plant material. This step separates the good stuff (mitragynine, 7-OH, and other alkaloids) from the fibrous plant material.

🔬 Common Extraction Methods:
✅ Water-Based Extraction – Uses heated water and agitation to extract alkaloids naturally.
✅ Ethanol Extraction – A natural food-grade ethanol is used to pull out alkaloids efficiently.
✅ CO2 Extraction – A high-tech method that extracts alkaloids without harsh solvents.

🚫 What we don’t use: Some brands cut corners by using harsh chemical solvents that leave behind unwanted residues and contaminants.

💡 Lockhold’s Method:
✔️ We use a careful combination of ethanol and water-based extraction, maximizing potency while maintaining a clean, pure final product.
✔️ Our method preserves more of kratom’s natural alkaloid profile than standard powder products.

Step 5: Filtration & Purification

Once the alkaloids have been extracted, the liquid is filtered multiple times to remove plant material, excess water, and impurities.

💡 Lockhold’s filtration process:
✔️ Multiple rounds of micro-filtration to eliminate unwanted plant fibers.
✔️ No artificial additives, no synthetic boosters—just pure, full-spectrum kratom.
✔️ Lab-tested for purity at every stage.

🚀 Why this matters: Many cheap kratom extracts skip this crucial purification step, leading to low-quality, inconsistent extracts.

Step 6: Standardization for Consistent Potency

One of the biggest problems with raw kratom powder is inconsistency—different batches may have varying levels of alkaloids. Lockhold ensures every bottle of liquid kratom is standardized to deliver a precise and reliable experience.

🔬 Our standardization process:
✅ Each batch is lab-tested to verify alkaloid content.
✅ Precise measuring of mitragynine concentration per serving.
✅ No batch-to-batch inconsistencies—same strength every time.

💡 Why this is important: With kratom powder, one scoop might be stronger than another—with liquid extract, every dose is the same.

Why Lockhold’s Liquid Kratom Is Superior to Other Extracts

Not all kratom extracts are created equal. Many brands:
🚨 Use low-quality leaf material—leading to weak potency.
🚨 Skip purification steps, leaving unwanted plant matter.
🚨 Do not test their batches, leading to inconsistent effects.

✅ Lockhold’s liquid kratom stands out because:
✔️ We use only high-quality, full-spectrum kratom.
✔️ We ensure every batch is lab-tested for purity.
✔️ Our extraction process results in superior absorption & bioavailability.
