What Is Kratom?
Kratom is a tropical tree (Mitragyna speciosa) native to Southeast Asia, particularly Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Papua New Guinea. Known for its broad leaves, kratom has been traditionally used by local communities for centuries in rituals and daily routines.
The plant belongs to the coffee family and contains naturally occurring alkaloids, the most notable being mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine. These compounds are the subject of numerous scientific studies examining kratom's role in wellness and its socio-cultural importance in indigenous communities. For example, a PubMed study on mitragynine details how this alkaloid functions as a partial agonist at μ-opioid receptors. Another PubMed article on 7-hydroxymitragynine explores its potency and receptor binding affinity. These external resources can help researchers and botanical professionals understand kratom’s complex profile.
