Kratom saves lives
 

Kratom is not a drug, not an opiate, and not a synthetic substance. Natural kratom is a safe herbal supplement used by millions for pain management. Natural kratom comes from a tropical tree in Southeast Asia and has been used for centuries there. Now, it's been safely used in the United States for decades. 

Many Americans are turning to kratom to help eliminate chronic pain or a drug dependency. Many say kratom saved their lives. 

Unlike opioids, kratom does not suppress the respiratory system. Current studies do not support significant addiction liability. 

Kratom is a possible solution to the opioid epidemic.
