What is Kratom?
Kratom, scientifically known as Mitragyna speciosa, is a species of plant native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. It belongs to the blush family (Rubiaceae). Kratom is an evergreen tree that can reach a height of up to 30 meters. The leaves of the kratom tree contain various active chemical compounds, including alkaloids such as mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine. These alkaloids are responsible for kratom's potential stimulant, sedative, and pain-relieving properties. In Southeast Asia, kratom has traditionally been used by local people by chewing the leaves or making tea from them. In recent years kratom has also become popular internationally as a herbal supplement and there are various forms such as kratom powder, capsules and extracts that are consumed by people all over the world.
