MIT Light by Ketoret Bio Review: A Kratom Supplement without the Bitterness

Kratom and terrible taste often go hand in hand, so finding a kratom supplement without the bitterness is a welcome surprise. MIT Light by Ketoret Bio is honestly the best tasting kratom drink mix I have tried. Not one hint of bitterness or weird aftertaste!

I was initially sent a few complimentary products to test out and write an honest review. And I warn everyone that I am honest! If you read some of my other reviews, you will see that I will tell you if it tastes bad or makes you feel weird (or feel nothing.)

Pass Me the Pink Lemonade

Pink Lemonade is the flavor that turned my Ketoret Bio product test into a purchase. After trying the MIT Light kratom drink mix, I liked it enough to buy myself a whole box.

They provided me with a discount code, which I put to use right away: GEEKMAMAS20 for 20% off everything in the store. (It’s not an affiliate code, just a coupon code to save you money.)

I also tried the mint chewable tablet format, but the drink mixes were my favorite. Between the flavor and how I felt after drinking it, MIT Light suited my preferences better. It gave me noticeable energy without making me feel uncomfortable or restless, and I felt like I could concentrate—something I haven’t always experienced with kratom.

There are a few important differences between the drink mix and tablets, though, particularly when it comes to their mitragynine and caffeine content.

What Is MIT Light?

MIT Light is Ketoret Bio’s powdered kratom extract drink mix, available in Lemonade and Pink Lemonade flavors. The individual sticks are made to be mixed with water.

Each stick contains 75 mg of kratom extract standardized to provide 50 mg of mitragynine, according to Ketoret Bio. The packaging I tested also lists 50 mg of caffeine per stick.

This is the first time I’ve tried a kratom product that also contained caffeine. Maybe that’s the magical combo that makes it work better, but I honestly liked the effect of these drink mixes better than any other I’ve tried.

And I felt the results were consistent. One issue I’ve had with other products is that sometimes the same drink will make you feel good one time, and weird the next.

Of course, how fast you drink it and how much you’ve eaten also come into play with these products. So, I tried to keep that consistent in my testing. Kratom is not good on an empty stomach.

Kratom Extract vs. Mitragynine: What’s the Difference?

The numbers on kratom packaging can be confusing, especially when a product lists both kratom extract and mitragynine.

Kratom extract is a concentrated preparation made from the kratom plant, Mitragyna speciosa. Mitragynine is the plant’s main alkaloid—one of the compounds responsible for its effects. It is often abbreviated as MIT.

Mitragynine is part of the extract, so those two amounts shouldn’t be added together. They list both to show how much extract is present and how concentrated it is—similar to listing coffee extract and then specifying its caffeine content.

For example, MIT Light’s 75 mg of extract includes its 50 mg of mitragynine. It doesn’t mean the packet contains 125 mg of active ingredients. When comparing products, checking the stated mitragynine content is more useful than comparing extract amounts alone.

My Experience with MIT Light Drink Mixes

The Pink Lemonade flavor surprised me in the best way. It tasted really good without having that overpowering sweetness many kratom products have to try and cover up the bitterness.

My package suggested mixing a stick with 12 to 16 ounces of water. I chose about 14 ounces for the Pink Lemonade, which worked well for my taste. I mixed it with a lot of ice in an insulated tumbler, and drank it slowly over the next couple hours.

The flavor made it easy to drink- too easy! I had to remind myself not to gulp it down. I did that before with a kratom drink and it took me by surprise when it kicked in hard and it ended up making me really sick. Lesson learned.

After about 20 minutes, I noticed a bit of energy without feeling restless or overstimulated. I also felt I was able to concentrate, which was surprising. I thought the combo with the added caffeine might make me feel jittery, but the balance seemed just right.

I didn’t really feel buzzed or weird, I honestly just felt good, like I had a bit of extra pep.

Why I Preferred the Drink Mix to the MIT Boost Tablets

The mint chewable tablet format for both the MIT Boost and MIT Energy was not my favorite. They are minty with a bit of the trademark kratom bitterness. They also got stuck in my teeth, and I was picking them out, and experiencing the taste over and over again. It also made the end of my tongue go numb both times I tried it.

The tablet packaging’s long-lasting and extended-release claims made me cautious, so I only tried a quarter of a tablet at first. I do like the way they are scored to make breaking it up easy. The last thing you want is for something to make you feel weird and have to settle in for several hours of that.

The experiment with the quarter piece left me with a mild energic feeling. For my next testing I tried a half and just kind of felt a little weird afterwards. I decided not to try a whole one. The effects of just the quarter piece were more my speed. I feel these would work better for someone who wants something stronger and fast acting.

Ultimately, I preferred the drink mix so I concentrated most of my review on those. Both lemonade flavors tasted better to me, and the overall experience suited my preferences more than the chewable format.

A Few Things to Know Before Trying Kratom Products

My positive experience doesn’t mean kratom is risk-free. Kratom can cause dependence and withdrawal, along with side effects such as nausea, dizziness, constipation, and drowsiness. Serious adverse effects have also been reported, and kratom has no FDA-approved medical use.

Ketoret Bio labels these products for adults 21 and older and advises against use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, combining them with alcohol, or driving after use. Anyone taking medications or managing a health condition should discuss potential interactions with a healthcare professional.

Because MIT Light and MIT Boost contain caffeine, that also needs to be considered alongside coffee, energy drinks, and other caffeine sources.

Would I Buy MIT Light Again?

I already did!

Pink Lemonade was the standout for me: enjoyable flavor, no noticeable bitterness, and an experience that felt energizing without making me uncomfortable or restless.

I preferred the drink mix to the tablets, and Pink Lemonade to regular Lemonade, although both were good. While everyone’s response can differ, I would recommend Ketoret Bio if you are looking for a kratom product that gives you a nice little boost, without being overpowering or bad tasting.
