Why Lab-Tested Kratom Matters (And How to Verify It)

In an unregulated market, third-party lab testing is the single most important signal of a kratom product’s safety and honesty. Here’s why it matters and how to verify it.

What testing catches

• Inaccurate potency (labelled vs actual mitragynine).
• Heavy metals like lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury.
• Microbial contamination (E. coli, salmonella, mould).
• Adulterants and fillers.

How to verify as a buyer

Ask for a current Certificate of Analysis, confirm the batch number matches your product, and check the lab is independent and ISO-accredited. Our lab testing page walks through reading a COA.

Our standard

Every MIT45 batch we stock carries a passing COA before it lists. That’s non-negotiable. See any product page and request its COA via [email protected].
