K Shot Kratom Review: Original, Black and the Functional Shots

This K Shot kratom review is built from documents, because K Shot publishes plenty of them. The brand, written KSHOT in most product names, sells eight items at gokshot.com: the Original and Black extract shots, three "functional" shots (Nu, Focus and Bliss), the K BLAST shot, K Pop gel packs and K Pow capsules. Its lab reports are most of this review. The rest is what no page we read on the site says: who makes the shots.

K Shot kratom review: the quick verdict

K Shot puts a lot of paper in front of the buyer. The paper is uneven.

What the documents show. Eight products at $5.99 to $15.99, as listed on gokshot.com on 6 October 2026. Fourteen lab reports we could read, from two named laboratories. For five products, measured mitragynine to set against the listing, some lots under and some over: 66.3 mg and 82.28 mg against 75 mg for Original, 63.4 mg against 50 mg for Focus, and 88.1 mg to 103 mg against 100 mg for Bliss, K Pop and K Pow. Metals and microbiology on eight of the fourteen.

What is missing. A legal entity, maker or address on any page we read. A report for Black or Nu that we could read; theirs are image files. A finished-bottle figure for K BLAST. Any pesticide or solvent panel in the reports we read. Ingredient lists that match the copy for Focus, K Pop and K Pow.

Who would want more. Anyone who wants to know who stands behind the bottle, anyone buying Black, Nu or K BLAST, and anyone who wants solvent or pesticide results.

Who sells K Shot, and what the site does not say

No page we read on gokshot.com, from the footer and policy pages to all eight product pages, names a legal entity, street address, state of organization or manufacturer. The footer's copyright line reads "K Shot Product", the store's vendor name. Contact is a toll-free number, an email address and a form. We found no terms of service, and the privacy policy is an unfilled template that refers to "the Website Name website".

The lab reports name companies, but as clients: Blue Deer Nutraceuticals Inc. of Dallas on nine of the fourteen, Plant Specimen Supply of Fort Worth on three, and KR8OM on two. A client is whoever sent the sample in, and none of the three is named on gokshot.com as owner, maker or distributor. The reports do not tell you who makes K Shot. Nor can we.

The About page calls K Shot "one of the most recognized names in the kratom industry", with no founder and no founding date. None of this describes what is in a bottle. On the website, a buyer with a problem finds a phone number, an email address and no named company.

The K Shot line-up: eight products, as listed

Prices and figures are as listed on the K Shot shop page and product pages on 6 October 2026, each product a single item with no size options. The last column is ours.

The arithmetic, once. Price divided by listed milligrams, times 100: Original is $9.99 / 75 x 100 = $13.32 per 100 mg of mitragynine. K Pow cannot be done: its page never says how many capsules the $15.99 unit holds, though its copy mentions "2-pack and 5-pack options". Only Focus states a size, and no page gives milliliters; the fills used below come from the lab reports.

The brand's strength badges do not follow its milligrams either. Focus and Nu are both listed at 50 mg, yet Focus is badged "BEGINNER" and Nu "ADVANCED", like all four 100 mg products. Those are K Shot's tiers. We draw no advice from them.

Listed against measured: mitragynine on the K Shot certificates

The core of an extract review is the listed figure against the measured one, and K Shot's documents allow it for five products. Mitragynine only, from each report.

Three of those reports give milligrams per milliliter and no fill volume. At the volumes the brand's other reports give for the same products (15 mL for Original, 60 mL for Focus and Bliss), they would come to about 77.6 mg, 53.4 mg and 99.6 mg: our arithmetic, on an assumption those reports do not make. On the 2026 Original report, the one on the product page, "5.17 mg /serv" is per milliliter, not per bottle.

The September 2025 Original report does the conversion itself, "using a laboratory measured density of 1.100 g/mL and package specified fill volume of 15.0 mL", and lands at 66.3 mg against the 75 mg listing. The lot in the February 2025 report came to 82.28 mg. One product. One lot under, one over.

Every row is one sample; Cora Science says results relate "only to the specific sample of material or product analyzed". Strength was not graded, either. The "PASSED" badge on each Lab Reports entry is the brand's; no alkaloid table sets a pass or fail against the listed strength, and the Cambium Analytica status cells read "N/A", under a "BATCH RESULT: PASS" line on the 2025 report.

K BLAST, Black and Nu: the figures we could not get

K BLAST is listed at 100 mg per bottle. The report on its product page is for "N55 liquid Kblast Concentrate", lot N550924, issued in October 2024: 61.2 mg of mitragynine per milliliter of an input, not the finished shot. Its Lab Reports entry, "Batch Code: ISO02996", is the laboratory's job number on a December 2024 report for "KBlast-Flavored": 2.77 mg per milliliter, no fill volume. Neither certifies the 100 mg.

Black, at 150 mg the highest listing, links three files, all image-only PDFs we could not read. Nu, at 50 mg, links an image file we did not read. So we have no measured figure for either.

Anyone with a report for Black, Nu or a finished K BLAST bottle can send it through our contact page for the 6 January 2027 review.

What the certificates test, who ran them, and what is missing

Heavy metals and microbiology appear on eight of the fourteen reports: the February 2025 Original report, both Focus, both Bliss, both K Pow and the February 2025 K Pop report. The other six, among them all three Original reports from September 2025 and September 2026 and both K BLAST reports, cover alkaloids and little else. One Original report adds an FTIR identity check. None of the fourteen shows a pesticide or residual-solvent panel.

Where the panels exist, the Cora Science rows (metals including arsenic and lead, microbes including E. coli and Salmonella) read PASS against limits printed beside them. The Cambium Analytica report with those panels gives results but no limits.

Solvents are a fair question to ask of an extract, and one state writes it into law: Rhode Island's Kratom Act bars the sale there of "A kratom extract that contains levels of residual solvents higher than is allowed in the U.S. Pharmacopeia 467." K Shot's footer says it does not ship to Rhode Island, so that is context, not a test we apply. And in fairness, the King K certificate we checked covers alkaloids only. Several K Shot reports cover more.

Cora Science, LLC, of Austin, Texas, ran twelve of the fourteen; its reports say test methods are performed in a laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 by PJLA "or a registered outsourcing facility". Cambium Analytica, of Traverse City, Michigan, ran two, and only the 2026 one shows an accreditation number in its text. We took accreditation as printed.

The Lab Reports page lists 13 entries. Two K Pop batch codes, "KPA-004" and "KPA-017725", open one report, whose lot is KPA-017725. The September 2025 Original lot appears twice, once per revision of the same report. For six of the eight products, the product page links a report the Lab Reports page does not list. Six of the fourteen reports date from 2024, seven from 2025 and one from 2026. The About page promises "Third-party testing on every batch". Reports for some lots neither prove that nor disprove it.

Ingredient lists that do not match the descriptions

The ingredient lists on the product pages do not always match the copy above them. We read the website, not the bottles, whose labels may differ.

Focus. The copy names mitragynine, a cordyceps and lion's mane blend, taurine and caffeine. The list reads, in full: "Filtered Water, Malic Acid, Natural & Artifical [sic] Acai Pomegranate Flavor, Sodium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate (To Protect Freshness), Sucralose, Vitamin K". None of the five appears. Both Focus reports measured mitragynine, so the printed list is incomplete, not evidence that the bottle lacks kratom.

K Pop. Agave, honey, water, propylene glycol, citric acid, flavorings, sea salt and cinnamon. No kratom, no M. speciosa and no mitragynine in the list, though both K Pop reports measured mitragynine.

K Pow. "Extract Capsules" in the title, a "proprietary cordyceps mushroom blend" in the copy, and "Mitragyna Speciosa leaf powder; Vitamin K, Gelatin capsules" in the list, with no cordyceps. The 5-count capsule report, which removed the shell for analysis, puts mitragynine at 19.3 percent by weight. The page does not reconcile the three.

Nu. "Nootropic Blend, Adaptogenic Herbal Extracts, Essential Vitamins", with none of them named and no amounts.

K BLAST. "Mitragrynine" (sic): the alkaloid itself, misspelled, rather than a leaf extract.

Bliss. "Guayusa Extracted Caffeine" in the list, page copy that contradicts itself. The site footer, meanwhile, says "Do not use with alcohol, large amounts of caffeine or other stimulants", on a site where two product pages name caffeine.

What the K Shot pages claim

Several K Shot product pages make effect and health claims. We do not repeat them. No report we read assays cordyceps, lion's mane, taurine or caffeine, so nothing we read from K Shot tests these claims, and neither do we.

The site calls its kratom "100% ORGANICALLY GROWN" and shows no organic certification. Every product page also states, in substance, that the products contain no added concentrated alkaloid; this review does not assess that. The footer's own disclaimer: "These product has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration" (sic).

The AKA GMP list, and what it covers

K Shot is not on the American Kratom Association's GMP Qualified vendors list, which showed 54 names on 6 October 2026. Nor are the three certificate clients, checked only because they appear on the reports. K Chill and K Tropix, which are on it, are different brands.

gokshot.com makes no GMP claim on any page we read; where a distributor's listing calls the products GMP-certified, that claim is the distributor's. The AKA says vendors "must complete an annual independent 3rd party audit", and that a listing "should not be construed as the AKA's endorsement of any organization, vendor, product, or service." It covers facility and process, not any bottle. For the record, King K is not on the list either.

FDA warning letters and lawsuits: what we searched

We searched FDA's warning-letter database on 6 October 2026 for "K Shot", "kshot" and "Blue Deer". "K Shot" returned letters, none naming K Shot, KSHOT, gokshot.com, K Shot Product or the three certificate clients. The other two returned nothing. Rate limits blocked searches for "Plant Specimen", "Kr8om" and "K Blast", and of FDA's recall, safety-alert and import-alert pages. So we found no FDA warning letter naming K Shot in the searches we ran. Nothing found is not the same as nothing exists.

Courts are a bigger gap. CourtListener's docket search returned empty pages to our requests, and we did not search state courts, so we cannot say whether any lawsuit names K Shot. Not found. Not none.

Age, shipping, refunds, and the Rhode Island line

The footer says "For sale only to adults 21 years of age and older", warns against use while pregnant or nursing, and says "This product may be habit forming." We did not test the checkout, so we cannot say how age is checked. The shipping and returns policy promises same-day dispatch for orders placed before 4 PM Eastern, "with tracking and drop-off without signature", and thirty days from receipt to ask for a refund or exchange, while reserving "the right to refuse refunds on questionable returns."

The footer's do-not-ship list names seven states (Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont and Wisconsin), seven counties and cities, and fifteen country names, as places "where Kratom is banned".

For Rhode Island, the word is out of date and the refusal to ship is not. The Rhode Island Kratom Act took effect on 1 April 2026 and requires manufacturer, importer, distributor and retailer licenses; the law that created it also removes the health director's authority to keep mitragynine in Schedule I and sets a minimum age of 21. Rhode Island regulates kratom now.

But the same public law also says: "Kratom and kratom products shall only be sold at retail at the fixed location for which a person holds a kratom retailer license issued by the department of health. Delivery of kratom and kratom products to retail purchasers is prohibited." An online seller that does not ship to Rhode Island is acting consistently with that, whatever word its footer uses. King K does not ship there either. The rest of the list we did not check against current law.

What a careful buyer can check, and what they cannot

You can check the lot code on the pack against the Lab Reports page and the product page, and whether the report it opens is for the finished product. A figure "per unit" or "per package", with a fill volume or weight, describes a bottle or packet; a figure per milliliter alone does not. You can check the panels, the date, and whether the label's ingredients match the website.

You cannot check, from what we could read on gokshot.com, who makes the product, a finished-bottle figure for K BLAST, pesticide or solvent results for anything, or the K Pow capsule count. Ask the seller for the report for the lot in your hand. No answer is an answer.

K Shot kratom questions

Who makes K Shot?

We could not find out. No page we read on gokshot.com names a legal entity, manufacturer or address. The lab reports name three client companies, which shows who sent samples to a laboratory, not who makes the shots.

How much mitragynine is in KSHOT Original?

It is listed at 75 mg per bottle. One lot measured 66.3 mg in a September 2025 report and another 82.28 mg in a February 2025 report. The newest report, from September 2026, gives 5.17 mg per mL with no fill volume.

Does K Shot publish lab results?

Yes: a Lab Reports page with 13 entries, and a report on every product page. Of the 14 we could read, 8 include metals and microbiology, and none includes pesticides or residual solvents. The Black and Nu files are images we could not read.

Does K Shot ship to Rhode Island?

Not according to its footer. Rhode Island's Kratom Act, in effect since 1 April 2026, licenses kratom sales, so calling the state banned is out of date. But it also prohibits delivery to retail purchasers, so not shipping there is consistent with it. King K does not ship there either.
