Kratom alkaloids are fragile. The difference between a product stored correctly and one stored carelessly can be a noticeably weaker experience — which is why we seal every batch in light-blocking aluminium in the first place. Here’s how to keep yours potent.
The Three Enemies
- Light: UV degrades alkaloids fast. An aluminium can blocks it completely; clear bottles do not.
- Heat: above ~80°F, chemical degradation accelerates.
- Humidity: moisture invites mold and clumping.
The Ideal Setup
- Keep cans sealed until you drink them — an unopened can is airtight.
- Store at room temperature in a dark cupboard or drawer.
- Skip the fridge and freezer; condensation is worse than summer heat.
How Long Does Kratom Last?
Stored properly, Rapture cans maintain label potency for up to 24 months from manufacture. The lot number printed on the base of the can tells you the batch date. 175mg MIT seltzer and the rest of the lineup are all sealed at fill, so freshness is factory-grade when it reaches you.
Travel and Pocket Storage
For a day out, keep cans in the amber bottle — it’s compact. Shots are built for travel: sealed, unbreakable-feeling, and pocket-sized. Just don’t leave any product in a hot car; a summer dashboard can hit 140°F.
Signs Your Kratom Has Degraded
Color change, unusual odor, or a noticeably weaker effect are the tell-tales. If a product looks or smells off, don’t use it — and contact us; our freshness guarantee means we’ll replace it.
