FAQ About Kratom
What Is Kratom?
Kratom is the informal name given to a species of tree native to the southeast Asia region.
The Kratom tree grows wild in places like Malaysia, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, Thailand, and Indonesia. It is often cultivated in controlled environments, too, and its leaves are harvested for the 40+ naturally occurring compounds that are found in the plant.
After the Kratom leaves are harvested, they are put through a very specific drying process which results in varied alkaloid profiles, color hues, and resulting effects when ingested.
Kratom from Kat’s Botanicals is ground into a fine powder (or crushed if desired) to be consumed in whatever way works best for you. Kratom in any form is not currently approved by the FDA, and several states have already banned this plant.
