Kratom Health & Safety

Consumers must responsibly consumer kratom products. Follow the label instructions and do not intentionally abuse kratom consumption guidance. ▪ Consumers new to kratom should start with low serving sizes to find the levels that work for them and then manage consumption from there. Kratom is known to have a “ceiling effect” and taking more than will likely result in an upset stomach. Consumers need to find the levels of kratom use that work for them individually. ▪ Consumers should purchase kratom products from manufacturers who have voluntarily committed to meet minimum good manufacturing practices (GMP) and submit to independent lab testing for their products. There are hundreds of kratom manufacturers who fail to meet these important standards and they put consumers at risk. ▪ Consumers, if they choose to consume kratom for a specific health condition, should consult their physician. Always inform a doctor about the use of kratom on any visit. ▪ Consumers should be aware that kratom has effects on the body’s receptors, similar effects experienced with caffeine consumption, and a dependency on kratom can result. In some cases, excessive use of kratom will require professional assistance from a medical provider. Kratom should be used responsibly and according to labeling instructions.
