Are there additives in kratom?
Hey everyone!! I can't thank everyone enough for this forum. I have been reading posts on here promise 2 years now, and it has given me a wealth of information that's incredibly valuable!!!
I have a quick question... There are some people who have certain dietary restrictions. Is all kratom out there 100% leaf/vein/stem or is there a possibility for certain vendors to add in various additives and chemicals?
Thanks so much in advance!!!

Kratom from any reputable vendors especially ones reviewed here is a 100% natural and organic product.Ankul wrote:Hey everyone!! I can't thank everyone enough for this forum.

If there is anything else in a vendors product than it has been adultered and definitely shouldn't buy it!!

The thing is though, ace, the vendor may not be complicit in this additive situation. Some vendors, but not ALL, have been to Indo to check out the scene. Even THOSE vendors can't police what goes on in day to day operations half a world away. It's literally impossible to know what's really going on and in your kratom without a battery of expensive tests.and even then, what does testing a 50 gram sample of a three ton order REALLY mean?

Re: Are there additives in kratom?
I think that's a rather extremely cynical view on the situation far as Kratom goes.... Like I said, especially with vendors here. I feel quite confident that any of our popular and reputable vendors here, especially ones who do even the slightest testing have all natural clean organic Kratom. And in all reality, I would figure that a very very high percentage of all Kratom is that way...mivanqua wrote:Kratom from any reputable vendors especially ones reviewed here is a 100% natural and organic product.acejestyr15 wrote:Ankul wrote:Hey everyone!!

How's it cost effective to add anything else??? What does anyone benefit?! Kratom is such a cheap product to begin with that most anything that one would add would also completely kill all profit to be made.

Re: Are there additives in kratom?
I read somewhere that matcha is cheaper than kratom over there. It's not meant to be cynical, it's just true statistically speaking. I'm sure most of us have found odd shit in our kratom before the salmonella beef up/addition of metal detectors and those hairs that are "leaf veins" yeah, ok. I don't think they are spraying the leaves or anything like that, I'm more saying that the very nature of kratom (dried for days, ground into dust, etc.) doesn't lend much to the cleanliness as a whole and if they DID want to add a leaf of one form or another during the grinding process, we'd never have a clue. I mean, fuck all that, even the mystery hairs (indo pubes according to reddit. Haha!) I LOVE the stuff and will take my chances, even against the practically undefeatable propaganda machine. Don't get the wrong idea, homie!

Just heat water to 170 degrees, right before the boiling point, and make tea so you dont have to worry
