The Best Kratom Money Can Buy

Despite the fact that Kratom is regarded, at least for now, as something of a niche product, there are warehouses full of it, whether that is in the country of origin, or its final destination, and that can present a problem for the consumer – you.

Let us explain.

Some Kratom farmers will pick the leaves from the trees, even without a buyer, but without wanting to waste such a valuable commodity, these leaves will be stored until they can find a buyer. The fresher the leaves, the more potent they are, and the higher the price they fetch. But older leaves, which have been sitting in storage for a while, are also sold. The problem is, once picked, Kratom leaves lose their potency, but still, some buyers will opt to purchase these older leaves (not to be confused with mature leaves which stay on the tree until harvest) and use them in their products because they are sold at a lower price.

So…once sold, these Kratom leaves are made into powder, or extract, and again, they might sit in a warehouse somewhere for a while before the wholesaler can find a retailer to offload them to.

Then along comes a retailer who is looking for the lowest possible prices, and buys up a stock of these Kratom products which have been lying around in a warehouse – often not temperature-controlled because Kratom is considered non-perishable – until it is bought by a final vendor; a headshop, for instance, or even a corner store.

The problem with this journey is that Kratom becomes less potent as time goes on, and after a year its strength is very much compromised. However, this isn’t just a case of a weaker product; in fact, it can be a dangerous practice because there is no way of knowing just how strong the final product is, leading to sometimes too-strong or too-weak results.

Why Does This Happen?

Kratom is a natural product which hasn’t had stabilizers added into it. Stabilizers are used in manufactured items to prolong their shelf life, but even with the addition of these artificial ingredients, they still degrade over time. Kratom is all natural, and therefore has no such additions, which means that is will change over time and faster.

So How Can You Be Sure You Are Buying a Quality Product?

With Kratom gaining in popularity, many vendors are keen to jump on the bandwagon, and will do so at the cheapest available price in order to reap as much of a profit margin as possible. The problem is, these retailers probably know less about Kratom than you do and glean all their information from either the suppliers they are buying from (who will spin them any tale they want to hear), or from the first online article they read. The chances are, they haven’t done any research, which in turn means that the customer really doesn’t know what they are buying. At best, this will lead to a very weak product with unsatisfying results, and at worse can be very dangerous.

Buying from a reputable company will ensure that not only are they well-versed in all things Kratom, but that the Kratom they use is independently lab tested, from the farm to the final product. This testing will make sure that every step of the process is monitored and approved, and will also guarantee that there are no contaminants in the Kratom, like pesticides, or harmful bacteria such as salmonella or E.coli. In addition to this, this 3rd party testing will also rule out the possibility of unsafe microorganisms, including mold and yeast, and heavy metals – cadmium, arsenic, lead, and mercury, for example.

Kratom Mystic

Here at Kratom Mystic, we work closely with our farmers to ensure all of our Kratom is fresh, using only ethical, Fair Trade terms. Not only does this ensure that you get the freshest and safest Kratom, but it also means that the farmers can continue to grow and harvest their trees and can steer clear of the type of farming which they have turned their backs on, such as palm oil and rubber which are devastating to the environment.

Once the Kratom (and our farmers pick only the ripe leaves to ensure an abundance of future growth) has been harvested, it is processed into powder, extract, or capsules, and then shipped directly to us with no long stays in warehouses.

Kratom is our business and our passion, and we are always happy to discuss which products will be best for you, because we know pretty much all there is to know about what we sell and where it comes from.
