Lab testing for kratom is the laboratory analysis of a product to measure its alkaloid content and screen for contaminants such as heavy metals and microbes. It is the foundation of responsible quality control for an unregulated botanical.
A standard panel reports mitragynine content, heavy metals, and microbial screening, with findings summarized on a Certificate of Analysis. Testing carries the most weight when performed by an accredited, independent lab. See COA and Lab Testing and Third-Party Testing.
