Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a leaf harvested from a large tree
native to Southeast Asia. It is in the same family as the coffee tree. Although
using Kratom has been common throughout its native range of Southeast Asia, this
amazing plant has remained virtually unknown outside of that area until the last
few years.
Although structurally related to yohimbine and other tryptamines, the
pharmacology of Kratom is quite different. It contains many alkaloids
including mitragynine enabling it to aid work while also aiding rest and sleep.
Kratom is said to produce a sense of well-being.
Kratom also contains alkaloids found in Uña de gato, which are thought to play a
beneficial role on the immune system and lower blood pressure, as well as
epicatechin, a powerful antioxidant also found in dark chocolate and closely
related to the EGCG that gives green tea its beneficial effects.
Beware of misleading labels and marketing hype. It is important to find a
trustworthy source. There have been problems with some vendors misrepresenting
other herbs as
Kratom.
