Adulteration is the contamination of kratom with foreign substances, or the addition of concentrated or synthetic compounds not naturally present at those levels in the leaf. It is a central concern that Kratom Consumer Protection Act laws are written to address.
Many state KCPA statutes specifically prohibit adulterated kratom, including products spiked to unnaturally high levels of certain alkaloids. Lab testing is the tool used to detect it. See KCPA and COA and Lab Testing.
