Kratom - Biological Effects and Chemical Composition
Chemical composition and biological effects of kratom. In vitro studies with implications for efficacy and substance interactions
The safety and efficacy of kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) for treatment of pain is highly controversial. Kratom produces more than 40 structurally related alkaloids, but most studies have focused on just two of these, mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine.
