Great for anxiety and mood

The product does wonders for my anxiety and mood. So far its worked 100% of the time with anxiety. Like all the kratom shots, it has the kratom taste but nothing like most. This is rather mild and smooth. Quality akaloids.

Great for anxiety and mood!!!

Im a veteran to kratom and this is my testimony. Ratings 10 out of 10 is hard to get out of me........8/10 for energy, 10/10 for anxiety. 8/10 for pain, 9/10 for mood enhancement. This is a great product that has worked wonders for my anxiety and my overall mood. I'm prescribed 2mg kolonapin and a shot of this works as well or better, because it also boosts your mood. It has a clean energy, not like coffee, no jitters. It provides me with motivation to do things I procrastinate with. I have tried the product 3 times and it has been consistent with the results. I do have chronic pain in my left foot and I noticed it wasn't bothering me like normal. Worked well enough i forgot it hurts to walk. I can't tell you if it works on serious pain since I have none.
It is not horrible tasting like many others. But it is worth a try!!!!

Very strong

Great customer service

Hi Michelle,
We really appreciate your kind words! So glad you enjoyed the product and our service. 🙌

Strong, Full-Spectrum Shot

This shot is pretty strong, so beginners, be careful. I drank a third of the shot at first, but if you have a kratom tolerance, I would just start with half of it. Good for pain relief. The only negative really is the taste: BIT-TER. But, it's medicine, so...

Hi JF G.,

Amazing Experience with product and CS

I found this company and decided to try their extract. I placed the order, waited a few days and got it in the mail. When I went to open the package, I had a bit of an accident and the extract ended up all over my kitchen floor. I reached out to Lockhold, obviously feeling a bit defeated and explained what had happened. Now, they had every right to tell me to buzz off, but they actually didn't and infact went above and beyond to make things right for me. I was not expecting that from them to be honest, but that was my first hand experience with their A+ customer support. They made it right when they didn't have to and I found out quickly that the owners are extremely down-to-earth.

I was eventually able to try the extract and once I did, I was blown away by the potency. That's the first thing I noticed actually lol. I've tried other extracts on the market from varying vendors and have a pretty hefty tolerance at this point, but this was the first time I can say I was amazed by the effects. My first dose elicited a similar "glow" to my very first time trying kratom. Warm feeling in my abdomen and overall pleasant state of mind with lots of energy to boot. I was able to work efficiently and once off the clock, transition right into kicking off my shoes and relaxing. There wasn't any crash which I normally get around 4-5 hour mark. It's a gradual taper down to baseline so that's a relief. I absolutely would recommend it to anyone looking for a great product!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with our 'Judge.me Shop Reviews' product. We are thrilled to hear that it has not only met, but exceeded your expectations.
