As of 2022, Kratom is federally unregulated and is therefore available for sale and use. However, certain states, counties and cities have local regulations limiting its use. Please check with your local authorities for specific regulations.

The most recent decision, after a year long review, by the World Health Organization (WHO) stated that they found “insufficient evidence” that kratom warrants a more in-depth critical review at this point. While the WHO statement has been generally interpreted as a general statement of safety for human consumption, each user assumes full responsibility for any outcomes related to their personal use of any product that contains Kratom.

Kratom is derived from the Mitragyna Speciosa plant, a relative of the coffee plant, and is grown in countries throughout Southeast Asia. The leaves of the plant are harvested at different stages and then processed into powder, tinctures and extracts. Kratom has been used for hundreds of years throughout Asia.

There is no specific scientific data that identifies the potential side-effects of using Kratom. Users should consult their medical practitioner when deciding on using any product containing Kratom and monitor any possible side-effects. Users should consider other medications being used, and overall health issues when assessing any side-effects experienced.

Very few clinical tests have been performed on Kratom; very little is known about the exact serving size to achieve particular benefits. As such, each user assumes full responsibility for using and serving any product containing Kratom. Kratom products are available in many strains, regional sourcing, and concentrations; users should exercise caution when using a particular product. Users should consider their weight, medical condition, medications, and other related factors affecting their experience with a specific product and serving size. It is generally accepted that users should begin with a small serving and then adjust as they see fit. Each user will experience different response levels and should attempt to start with less, particularly when looking for a specific benefit. Users should consult their medical practitioner when considering using any product containing Kratom or determining the appropriate serving size.
