TECHNOKRATOMTM was developed by a team of professional formulators following the latest advancements in pharmaceutical and food sciences. Our patent-pending technology is based on classical liposomal nanoparticles made with natural phospholipids and oil from sunflower, proven to be safe and effective through their use in many foods, supplements, and pharmaceuticals. The oil and phospholipids in TECHNOKRATOMTM form tiny droplets suspended in water, a.k.a. an emulsion. The alkaloids and bitter molecules in Kratom extract become bound to the droplets, thus reducing the interaction of bitter molecules with your taste buds while also improving the absorption in your stomach and even enabling absorption in your mouth through oral mucosa.
Thanks to the liposomes, the active molecules that normally require acid or alcohol to remain soluble now can remain in solution at near neutral pH. No acid means no irritation – perfect for those who take Kratom on empty stomach.
Binding to nanoparticles is very important to our products’ taste masking properties, however, that’s not enough. Here are additional features that differentiate TECHNOKRATOMTM from competitors:
- Minor phospholipids in lecithin (phosphatidylserine and phosphatidic acid known to reduce stress) are also known to interact with taste buds and therefore can mask bad taste and reduce irritation even without formation of nanoparticles.
- We use specific plant-derived natural extracts known to mask unpleasant tastes, enhance the pleasant ones, improve mouthfeel, enhance sweetness, modulate taste, and do other wonders to foods and drinks. Due to extreme complexity, all these extracts are approved by the FDA under one category listed on product labels as “natural flavors”. Even though many of them do not have a flavor or taste of their own. These extracts are used in tiny amounts, usually about 0.1%. It took us years to develop the combination that works on complex botanical extracts notorious for being unpalatable.
- You may already know that vanilla and caramel can reduce some unpleasant tastes, enhance perception of sweetness and improve mouthfeel. Other such examples are strawberry and chocolate frequently used to hide unpleasant flavor of cheap protein shakes or orange used to hide the bitter and metallic taste of amino acids. The flavors that we use in our products were specifically selected to work well with herbal, earthy notes and the acrid aftertaste of Kratom extract.
- Finally, we use carefully selected low- and high-intensity sweeteners that aid the taste masking process, improve the mouthfeel of final concoction, and create sugar-like sweetness without being cloying and without added calories of sugar.
Now that we have created the great taste worth savoring AND tethered Mitragynine and other alkaloids to the liposomes, we have created a system that allows one to hold the TECHNOKRATOMTM formula in the mouth. That’s correct, you no longer have to swallow kratom shot as quickly as possible and use a chaser. Take a small sip (3-5 ml) and swish it around your gums, cheeks, and under the tongue for 30-45 seconds before swallowing. Repeat. Wait a minute. Do you feel it?
Oromucosal delivery enabled by the phospholipid nanoparticles allows the alkaloids to go directly to your bloodstream bypassing the stomach and liver. Of course, it is just a tiny fraction of the total serving that can go through the mucosa, nevertheless it is generally enough to feel the effect within minutes. How so? It is because the alkaloids that went directly into your bloodstream do not get destroyed by the stomach acid and the liver enzymes. Scientific research confirmed that up to 97% of kratom gets destroyed before it can even reach your bloodstream resulting in bioavailability below 3%. What a waste!
Liposomes in the TECHNOKRATOMTM formula not only enable oromucosal delivery but also help more of the alkaloids survive the stomach and the liver, resulting in potent and lasting effect with less product consumed.
TECHNOKRATOMTM isn’t just a brand name. It is a unique, patent pending technology that beyond the great taste and potency, offers other real practical advantages:
It is a stable emulsion. There will be no pellet and no need for shaking.
It is aqueous. Does not need neither acid, nor chemical solvents such as Propylene Glycol.
It is fully dilutable without the risk of precipitation—drink it straight up or mix it into your night cup, preworkout drink, soda, tea, or sparkling water. It won’t get stuck on glass or ice like the other kratom shots.
