Here at Kratom Reserve, we are absolutely committed to not only bringing you the very best Kratom the industry has to offer, but also the latest information you will need in order to make an informed choice when choosing your products.

To us, Kratom is not merely a business, it’s a way of life and because we are so passionate about the benefits this powerful plant can bring, we want to share our passion with others, and enable them to experience those benefits for themselves; to that end we are determined to not only offer top notch products, but also education and learning, so that you, and others like you, can learn all there is to know.

What is Kratom?

If you’re new to Kratom you might not know much about it – perhaps you’ve heard someone talking about it and are here to find out more, or maybe someone has mentioned that you might find it helpful. But wherever you are on your Kratom journey, the best and most logical place to start is with the plant itself, and where it comes from.

Native to Southeast Asia, the Kratom tree, or Mitragyna speciosa to give it its Latin name, is a tree which is part of the coffee family. Prolific in places such as Indonesia, Myanmar, Malaysia, Thailand, and Papua New Guinea, Kratom is a large, tropical tree which grows at heights of up to 82 feet, with a straight trunk which can measure an impressive 3 feet in diameter. The smooth, gray bark makes way for vibrant, glossy leaves which can be up to 20cm in length. Characterized by the mace-shaped bright yellow flowers which grow in clusters of three, the tree grows best in areas which are well protected from the winds, as, despite its size, the tree can be prone to damage in blustery conditions.

What sets Kratom apart from other plants is the presence of two alkaloids – namely mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine, although there are believed to be more than 25 alkaloids found in Kratom, and in excess of 40 compounds in total. However, the actual levels of the alkaloids depends entirely on where the tree is grown; for instance, Kratom grown in its native Southeast Asia will have a far higher level of mitragynine than a plant grown outside this region, because SE Asia offers the optimal growing conditions.

First documented back in the 1830s by Dutch botanist Pieter Willem Korthals – the official botanist of the Dutch East India Service, in fact – it is thought that the tree was given its final name of Mitragyna (after much renaming and reclassification) by George Darby Haviland – a British surgeon and naturalist – in 1859, because the flowers and leaves resembled a bishop’s mitre. However, the leaves have been further studied by the likes of L. Wray in 1907, and I.H. Burkill in 1930.

Why Us?

Here at Kratom Reserve we are passionate about education, and are totally transparent about not only our products, but also about where they are sourced from, and the processes they go through to get from farm to the finish line.

We use only the most experienced farmers who have been working the Kratom fields for generations, so they really are the experts in the industry, and because we rely on their expertise we know that you will receive the very best Kratom you can buy. With unrivalled knowledge in the industry, our farmers grow and nurture the trees before hand picking the leaves when they are at their optimum stage, which, in turn, ensures a superior product which you (and we) know can be trusted 100%.

Every stage of the process is carefully monitored and regularly checked to make sure that nothing is ‘skipped’ – after all, our customers will only come back to us again if they can be confident that they are receiving the best and safest Kratom there is.

Talking of checking…

While we at Kratom Reserve know that our Kratom is safe and pure, we don’t expect other people to take our word for it, which is why we use independent, 3^rd party lab testing on all of our products. Your health and safety is paramount to us, as is your value for money, so we use this method of testing to give us, and more importantly you, peace of mind.

While many companies are ethical, our industry, like most others, can be peppered with unscrupulous sellers who want to make a fast buck at the buyers’ expense – either by using sub-standard Kratom at source, or, even worse, by adding other unsafe substances to the powder to make it more potent.   We only sell pure, unadulterated Kratom, and to this end our products are rigorously tested independently to check for contaminants:

• Heavy metals – our products are tested for heavy metals such as cadmium, lead, arsenic, and mercury.
• Pesticides – we guarantee that our products are 100% organic, so our Kratom is tested to ensure there are no pesticides used.
• Bacteria – lab testing rules out harmful bacteria, including salmonella and E.coli.
• Microorganisms – the only thing you want in Kratom is Kratom, so third party verification will make sure that there are no nasties like mold and yeast in our powders.

This list is not exhaustive, and other tests are routinely carried out, for example to check for color and scent, and even visual appearance.

Variety is the Spice of Life

We know that Kratom doesn’t come in a ‘one size fits all’ design, which is why we stock many different strains and blends to make sure that you choose exactly the right product for your needs. From the relaxing influence of the stunning Borneo Red, to the uplifting White Maeng Da, we also offer UEI – or Ultra Enhanced Indo – for those who would like to take their Kratom experience to the next level. One thing you don’t have to do is navigate these strains and blends alone, because we are here to help and guide you through your Kratom journey, whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced user.

So, whatever you are looking for from this wonderful herb, let Kratom Reserve help you to a wonderful experience.
