Kratom has the potential to positively change millions of lives, and yet very few know the facts about it, it’s safety profile, and the numerous benefits it offers. Because trustworthy Kratom information is so sparse and because our customers deserve to know as much as possible about the substances they consume, we’ve developed this FAQ to assist you. Read below for answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about the Mitragyna Speciosa (Kratom) plant.
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 Kratom is ground into a fine powder (or crushed if desired) to be consumed in whatever way customers prefer. Kratom in any form is not currently approved by the FDA, and several states have already banned this plant.
Kratom laws vary from state to state, and even from township to township, in some cases. Therefore, it is important for you to learn about what Kratom-related laws are in place where you own your businesses before attempting to acquire Kratom for sale at your business.
If you live in a state where Kratom is legal, then as long as your customers are 18 years of age or older, they can buy and use Kratom legally.
There are some countries that have comprehensive bans on the importation of Kratom, but not on the possession or use of Kratom (the UK is a good example).
Kat’s Kratom only ships Kratom to businesses in the contiguous United States where Kratom is legal to obtain, possess, and use.
Currently, Kratom powder is not legal in the following states, counties, and towns:
- Alabama
- Arkansas
- Indiana
- Rhode Island
- Vermont
- Wisconsin
- Alton County (IL)
- Edwardsville County (IL)
- Sarasota County (FL)
- San Diego County (CA)
- Union County (Mississippi)
- Jerseyville (Illinois)
- Oceanside (California)
- Ontario (Oregon)
- Franklin City (New Hampshire)
- Parker and Monument (Colorado)
If you own a business in any of these areas, Kratom is either banned or has strict regulations related to its purchase, possession, or use. We encourage you to learn more information about the legality of Kratom in your own state prior to placing a wholesale order.

There’s a lot to say about the multitude of Kratom strains that are currently available on the market.
Kratom strains can vary according to how the leaf is dried, whether or not it is left to ferment before packaging, and if it’s been blended with another strain or not.
Because different Kratom strains have different alkaloid profiles, their effects on the user can be quite different.
Kat’s Kratom sells Kratom in the following consumable formats: powder, capsules, and extracts.
Kratom powder is easily dissolved into water, tea, or another beverage for easy consumption. Crushed leaf Kratom is often used to brew Kratom tea. Our Kratom capsules are a great option for discrete, consistent dosing, and our Kratom extracts provide extra ‘oomph’ for more advanced Kratom users.
When used responsibly, it is generally considered safe to use Kratom that is sourced from a reliable vendor that lab-tests their Kratom—a vendor like Kat’s Kratom.
If customers are considering taking Kratom for the first time, we suggest them checking with their healthcare provider to evaluate any risks that Kratom use may pose.
A standard dose of Kratom is about 2.5 grams. This amounts to roughly one level teaspoon of Kratom powder.
For some, the positive benefits of Kratom can be achieved using less than a standard dose. For others, heavier doses are needed for equitable effects. It varies from person to person.
