What is kratom and why is it so popular?

Kratom, or Mitragyna speciosa, grows naturally in tropical areas such as Indonesia. Its leaves contain the effective alkaloids mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine, which have stimulating, relaxing or even analgesic effects, but it depends on the dose and variety.

On the other hand, those who are just getting acquainted with kratom, or have not yet tried it, may be skeptical or even critical.  Learn more in the comprehensive article: What is kratom?

What types of kratom are there?

  • Green kratom – The strongest kratom, but one of the most popular types. Users use it to relieve depression and anxiety, improve their mood and also to have fun as a substitute for alcohol.

  • White kratom – The most invigorating, ideal for those who need to increase their productivity or concentration, or want extra energy.

  • Red kratom – It relieves the mind from stress, acts as an analgesic and aphrodisiac, and has powerful relaxing effects.

Where to buy kratom to enjoy its benefits?

E-shops and online shopping are the most common options for most users. For example, our Kratomuj.com e-shop has been specializing in quality kratom with a clear and proven origin for several years. In the article below you will see what makes us different from other retailers.

1. Trustworthy origin – Quality that starts in Indonesia

The quality of kratom begins with its origin. The origin of kratom can be a key factor that every customer should pay attention to when choosing. The kratom from our e-shop comes exclusively from Indonesia, specifically from areas along the Kapuas River on the island of Borneo. The area is renowned for its tropical climate, fertile soil and ideal conditions for the growth of Mitragyna speciosa. 

2. Appuri Association – A guarantee of quality, ethics and sustainability

Besides the origin, it guarantees the quality of our products and the careful cultivation process under the supervision of the Appuri Association. The association brings together farmers and suppliers to ensure the highest standards of kratom cultivation and processing. Farmers cultivate trees, tend farms and harvest leaves, which are then dried in special greenhouses. They then crush the leaves and the powder is sent to Pontianak. Main processing, laboratory testing and final quality control take place there. What does the association mean and why is it so important to the customer?

  • Farmer education – Membership of the Appuri Association ensures that farmers are trained and follow recommended expert practices when growing and harvesting. They use the most modern and gentle methods that preserve a high content of the active ingredients and kratom purity.

  • Fair working conditions
    The association guarantees fair conditions for farmers. They work in an ethical environment and receive a fair financial reward for their work.

  • Sustainability
    Appuri supports organic cultivation and gentle kratom processing methods. This includes drying the leaves in special greenhouses to protect the product from contamination and rejecting risky processes such as fermentation in plastic bags. This problem, common among some other suppliers, can lead to microplastic contamination, which significantly reduces the quality and safety of kratom.

    In addition to emphasizing environmental aspects, Appuri is actively working on innovations in kratom processing. Its advances include developing a new method for processing red kratom or designing rotary drying machines that could reduce drying time to just 20 minutes. While this technology is not yet fully usable in the Kapuas Hulu region due to the lack of electricity infrastructure, the planned expansion of electricity networks next year could enable its deployment. This innovation could significantly increase processing efficiency without negatively affecting the quality or cost of kratom.

  • Quality & safety
    The kratom processed by Appuri farmers meets strict quality standards for cultivation.

3. Laboratory testing 

When choosing kratom, laboratory testing is one of the most important indicators of quality and safety. Each batch undergoes careful inspection, which includes testing for heavy metals, pesticides, microorganisms and other potentially hazardous substances. At the same time, the content of mitragynine, the main alkaloid, is also tested.

Any retailer selling kratom should be able to publish this information. Caution should be exercised if a retailer does not publish tests or is not willing to share details about the processing of their kratom. With us, you can find this information quickly and easily directly on our site, where you can see the complete results of all tests performed. 

4. Content of effective alkaloids

The efficacy of kratom is closely associated with the content of its main alkaloids. Every retailer should state the alkaloid values measured, but there are still many retailers on the market who do not state the alkaloid content because they do not have laboratory tests available. Some have laboratory tests, but they may not always be credible. For example, tests from laboratories in the US, such as Murray Brown, are often used, reporting mitragynine levels 0.2–0.4% higher than the actual value. This is because they include the alkaloid paynantheine in the mitragynine value and its content is usually in this range. However, this method distorts the results and does not provide accurate information about the kratom.

5. Safe kratom processing

Kratom processing begins with the harvest. Ripe leaves are collected after 50–60 days of growth, as only ripe leaves contain high levels of alkaloids. Manual harvesting ensures that only healthy and undamaged leaves are carefully selected. At other retailers, the leaves are often harvested after 30 days to increase the amount harvested and lower the price. However, such a procedure significantly reduces the content of effective alkaloids and this is reflected in the quality of the final product.

6. Correct procedure for fermenting red kratom 

 Many lower-quality suppliers and retailers use fermentation in plastic bags exposed to the sun to process red kratom. Such method carries a risk of contamination with microplastics, which are released from plastics due to high temperatures.

At Kratomuj, we never use this procedure, fermentation is carried out using a special method, the leaves are first exposed to steam in a wooden basket above a container with water. They are then dried in the sun for 5–10 hours, giving them their characteristic colour and correct distribution of alkaloids.

7. Verified retailer and certified supplier 

When buying kratom, it is crucial to choose retailers who work with tried-and-tested farmers and can prove the origin and processing of their product. We pride ourselves on transparency and quality, which we guarantee through long-term cooperation with our only exclusive supplier from Indonesia. Our supplier works closely with Mr Ibrahim, Chairman of the Appuri Association, which brings together farmers supplying kratom leaves for further processing.

 Our supplier also holds good manufacturing practice (GMP) certification, which is globally recognized. Certification ensures that the entire process, from harvesting to processing and packaging of the kratom, is carried out in accordance with the strictest quality and hygiene rules.

  • Laboratory Testing in Indonesia
  • High levels of active alkaloids.
  • Drying and processing using modern technologies.
  • Safe fermentation without the use of plastic bags.

Have you ever wondered where kratom comes from, how it is processed and whether it has passed laboratory tests? It is these aspects that are important and capture the quality, efficacy and safety of kratom. Choosing a kratom is not just about price or convenient purchase. Kratom can contribute significantly to your health when used correctly, but poorly processed or poor quality kratom can be detrimental. It is therefore important to choose where to buy kratom carefully. We make sure that every customer has all the necessary information to make the right choice.
