What Is Kratom?
Decades ago, the leaves from the plant Mitragyna speciosa has been used as a natural alternative to pain reliever in the Asian region.
However, due to its addictive qualities and adverse side effects, kratom is now considered an emerging drug of abuse by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). It comes in the form of:
- Fine powder
- Capsule
- Pill
- Extract
- Dried leaves for brewing
How to Use a Kratom Urine Test:
- Remove the kratom test kit from its sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible. For best results, perform the assay within an hour.
- Next, hold the test by the end, where you can see the product name. To avoid contamination, do not touch the test membrane.
- Then, holding the test vertically, dip the test in the urine specimen for at least 10-15 seconds. Do not immerse above the maximum line (MAX) on the dip test. That’s about 1/5th of the way up the test.
- After the drug test has finished, remove the dipstick from the specimen and place it on a non-absorbent flat surface. Start the timer and wait for the colored band(s) to appear. Read the result at 5 minutes. Do not interpret it after 10 minutes.
How to Read This Drug Test Kit:
Positive
Only one colored band appears, in the control region ©. No apparent colored band appears in the test region (T)
Negative
Two colored bands appear on the membrane. One brand appears in the control regions © and another band appears in the test region (T).
Invalid
Control band fails to appear. Results from any test which has not produced a control band at the specified read time must be discarded. Please review the procedure and repeat with a new test. If the problems persist, discontinue using the kit immediately and contact your local distributor.
Why Test for Kratom?
Although it is not yet listed as a controlled substance, the US Drug Enforcement Administration considers it as an emerging drug of abuse. Recently, several states have put into motion regulations in order to ban it.
Some who have used the drug admitted to using it as a substitute for another drug. Excessive use of this drug will give the user opioid-like side-effects. This is one of the many reasons why many have decided to incorporate kratom urine tests into their drug screening program.

An Eye-opening Study
Recently, a study in the United States reports a marked increase in calls to poison control centers due to kratom exposure. The study states:
Overall, nearly one third (32%) of the calls resulted in admission to a healthcare facility. On the other hand, 52% resulted in serious medical outcomes, especially among teenagers and adults.
Why People Use Kratom
Historically, kratom uses in Southeast Asia for hundreds of years as a pain-relieving alternative. Today, it is accessible to the public – commonly advertised as an herbal supplement with no side effects.Â
Unfortunately, the use of the drug has been known to deliver similar effects to that of opioid use. Though many kratom users today have self-medicated using this drug on their own, more studies need to take place before medical applications are made.
