Kratom Capsule Counts Explained: 120, 250, 500 & 1,000
Capsule count tells you how many individual capsules are in the package; 500mg tells you how much kratom leaf is inside each capsule, excluding the shell. Those are different measurements, and neither one states the product's mitragynine content.
Count, leaf fill, and total leaf weight
| Package | Leaf in each capsule | Total leaf weight |
|---|---|---|
| 120 capsules | 500mg | 60g |
| 250 capsules | 500mg | 125g |
| 500 capsules | 500mg | 250g |
| 1,000 capsules | 500mg | 500g |
The arithmetic is straightforward: two 500mg capsules contain 1g of leaf, and 1,000 capsules contain 500g. The capsule shell is not included in these leaf-weight figures.
What 500mg does not mean
The 500mg figure is not a statement of mitragynine or total alkaloid content. Plain leaf varies, and a capsule-fill statement cannot substitute for a laboratory result tied to the relevant batch or sample. It is also not serving guidance.
Choose the package by count and unit price
A 120- or 250-count pack keeps the order smaller. A 500- or 1,000-count pack reduces the price per capsule and the number of reorders. Compare the live price on the product page because prices can change.
