Taking the Supplement Kratom?

This is the latest hot supplement making the rounds these days. It's a botanical product made from a tropical evergreen tree.
Buyer beware....

That's very interesting, thanks for sharing. I agree with you, beware.
I found a very detailed article written about the lack of solid research to prove any benefits and well-documented purported risks. Not sure if the risks were based off of the whole product or if it was isolated phytonutrients but definitely not something I would be willing to risk my health on either.

It does seem to have something to do with Krypton but that only kills humans not superman. :lol: but on a serious note, I gave up trying to understand what they meant about it either having krypton in it or if it was just the specific preparation of this kratom stuff that had krypton in it..I dunno lol.
