User Review Program

Get rewarded for honest reviews.

Every verified customer who leaves a detailed, FDA-safe review earns 250 points, a discount on their next order, and a chance to be featured as a spotlight reviewer. We want reviews that help other shoppers decide, not reviews that exaggerate or break the rules.

Packaging was immaculate

Sealed pouch inside a resealable outer bag, lot number printed clearly, and the batch COA was available on the site before the box even arrived. Third order from HVB, same packaging standard every time.

How It Works

Four steps from pouch to points.

Every review is human-reviewed for honesty and FDA-safe language before points post.

  1. 01

    Order the product

    You must be signed into the account the order was placed on. We only accept verified purchase reviews because anonymous reviews are too easy to fake.

  2. 02

    Live with it for a week

    Take time to evaluate texture, packaging, freshness, and your overall buying experience. The best reviews come from customers who have actually spent time with the product.

  3. 03

    Write the review

    Head to the product page, leave a star rating, and share what you observed. Photos are encouraged. Our guidelines below keep your review FDA-compliant so it posts quickly.

  4. 04

    Earn the rewards

    Approved reviews post within 48 hours. You get 250 points, a 10% discount code for your next order, and a chance to appear in our monthly spotlight.

Review Guidelines

What makes a review reward-eligible.

These are the ground rules. They are not here to make reviewing harder, they are here to keep HVB compliant and your review helpful to the next shopper.

Do

Be honest

Share the real experience. If something fell short, say so. If something exceeded expectations, say that too. Balanced reviews are the most trusted reviews and the most rewarded.

Do

Be detailed

One-sentence reviews rarely qualify. Aim for 3 to 5 sentences covering what matters to other shoppers: texture, aroma, freshness, packaging, shipping, and the buying experience.

Do

Photos are encouraged

A clean shot of the pouch, the resealable outer bag, or the product on your kitchen counter adds a ton of credibility. Unboxing-style photos are the ones that get featured most often.

Do

Use FDA-safe supplement language

Talk about what you saw, smelled, felt in your hand, and observed in the packaging. Share your sourcing and packaging experience, not effects. This is the part that protects both of us.

Don't

Write about outcomes

Kratom is a botanical product and we cannot publish reviews that describe its effects, health outcomes, or medical benefits. Reviews that go there will be sent back for a rewrite before they can be approved.

Don't

Recycle, fake, or swap reviews

Verified purchase only. One review per product, per customer. Reviews written for a different brand, AI-generated content, or obviously paid reviews do not earn points and may affect your account standing.
