Government warnings, denied applications, death data, poison reports, and clinical research — compiled here because the industry will never show you this.
The kratom industry spends millions on lobbyists, consultants, and marketing to convince you their product is safe. They are lying. Below is the evidence they don't want you to see — documents, data, and warnings they hope stay buried.
The agency has warned repeatedly: kratom is not safe, not approved, and not a dietary supplement. The industry calls this “bias.” We call it public health.
Read the warningsJohnson Foods tried to get kratom recognized as a dietary ingredient. The FDA rejected them — explicitly, completely, and permanently. The industry still sells it anyway.
Read the denial letterHundreds of overdose deaths with mitragynine detected. The industry says “other drugs were involved” — as if that makes it acceptable. The dead don't get a vote.
See the numbersThousands of calls: seizures, agitation, tachycardia, vomiting. Children accidentally exposed. The industry calls this “misunderstanding the data.” We call it a crisis.
View the reportsLiver failure, withdrawal, death — submitted to FAERS and ignored by an industry that insists “more research is needed.” How many more events before they admit the truth?
Read the case filesControlled studies confirm: kratom acts on mu-opioid receptors, produces dependence, and causes withdrawal. The industry calls it “herbal wellness.” Science calls it an opioid agonist.
Read the studies“We didn’t know what it was until it was too late. It was next to the energy drinks — packaged to look harmless, marketed to look safe. Now our son is fighting withdrawal.”
The industry narrative depends on one thing: keeping you away from these documents. They want you to believe that FDA warnings are “overblown,” that death data is “misleading,” that poison reports are “taken out of context.”
But you cannot spin a death certificate. You cannot lobby away a toxicology report. This evidence is the difference between what the industry says and what the government, scientists, and medical examiners have documented.
Every link above leads to primary sources. No industry spin. No consultant commentary. Just the truth they’ve been trying to bury.
Armed with the evidence, you can demand action from your representatives, health departments, and regulators.
