FAQ - Mitragyna Speciosa Questions

Mitragyna speciosa, commonly known as kratom, is a plant used by people in various forms such as powders, teas, and extracts, and sometimes even smoked. According to the American Kratom Association, individuals often consume kratom to enhance energy, focus, and mood, or to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, pain, fatigue, and substance use disorders. While kratom is legal in most states, some have implemented regulations like the Kratom Consumer Protection Act to ensure its safe sale and use. However, its regulatory status and the health implications of its use or prohibition are still under investigation. Many users consume kratom regularly over extended periods, sometimes multiple times a day. Despite its widespread use, there’s limited scientific data on the effects of commercially available kratom products due to the complexity of its bioactive alkaloids. This lack of understanding, combined with its widespread use and potential intoxicating effects, raises important public-health questions.
