Kratom 101
A Functional Botanical for Modern Wellness
Kratom, or as we call it, plant nectar, is an herbal extract from the tropical evergreen tree of the Rubiaceae family native to Southeast Asia.
Traditionally used for its energizing and mood-enhancing properties, kratom has supported communities for centuries. It is indigenous, and its features are dark green, glossy leaves, known as kratom. It has been used in herbal medicine since at the 19th century.
At Nectar Botanica, we craft our seltzers using pure mitragynine to deliver a clean, balanced, and functional experience made for modern life.

How Kratom is Used
Traditionally, mitragynine, or kratom, leaves were chewed fresh, brewed into teas, or dried and crushed into powder. Today, kratom is often consumed as a liquid extract, capsule, or beverage infusion, making it easier than ever to integrate into daily life.
Our kratom seltzers are a modern twist on this ancient plant—formulated with precision, zero calories, zero sugar, only Mitragynine, all in a refreshing 12 oz can. Our products Do Not Contain 7-hydroxymitragynine, known as 7-OH. More about this below.

Start Slow, Sip Mindfully
Everyone’s body is different. If you’re new to kratom, we recommend starting with half a can and gradually increasing to one can as you explore what works best for you.
Transparency in Every Can
We list the exact mitragynine content on each drink and work with third-party labs to ensure quality, consistency, and safety.
User Effects
Kratom leafs contain compounds that create stimulating and sedative effects for users. A small amount of kratom produces a feeling of mild stimulation and alertness, while a larger dose produces a feeling of sedation. Moderate usage of kratom never appears to impair behaviors or promote tendencies towards violent acts.
Opiates
Everyone’s body is different. Preliminary research has provided some evidence that mitragynine and related compounds may act as atypical opioid agonists, inducing therapeutic effects such as analgesia, while limiting the negative side effects typical of classical opioids. However, 7-hydroxymitragynine does have the ability to bind to the same opiate receptors in the brain. We Do Not Use 7-OH in our products and only use the Mitragynine alkaloid.
Safe Use
Despite its effectiveness at curbing addition to certain narcotics, some agencies are in uproar over Kratom, even though it has a long history of safe use Worldwide.
