The American Kratom Association GMP standard sets the cap at 2 % of total alkaloid content based on natural-leaf material observations. Natural raw kratom measures 0.1-0.4 % 7-OH; concentrated extracts that exceed 2 % are typically the result of processing (selective extraction, post-extraction concentration) rather than natural variability. The cap is a regulatory line that distinguishes 'whole-leaf kratom' from 'concentrated 7-OH product'. FDA and DEA scrutiny since 2024 has focused specifically on products that exceed 2 %.
Natural kratom leaf has a characteristic ratio of major alkaloid (mitragynine) to minor alkaloids (speciogynine, paynantheine, corynantheidine, 7-OH). Products where 7-OH has been spiked in have an alkaloid profile that's inconsistent with natural-leaf ratios — typically very high 7-OH but normal levels of the other minors. The 5-plex alkaloid profile (included in AKA-GMP Aligned panel) flags this profile shift.
Raw leaf / powder: 25 g representative subsample. Extracts (resin, paste): 5-10 g. Capsules: 30 capsules from the same lot. Liquid extracts / tinctures: 30 mL. Ship in original packaging to preserve lot and batch information.
Yes for the 7-OH Quantification panel — coordinate with the lab before shipping; same-day quantification is available at +35 % when an inspection or recall demands rapid data. The AKA-GMP Aligned and Full Botanical panels are not same-day-feasible because of the 14-day USP <71> sterility incubation included on those.
Yes. AKA-GMP certification requires ongoing batch testing for the alkaloid profile, heavy metals, microbial, and pesticide / mycotoxin scope. Our AKA-GMP Aligned panel ($239) covers the alkaloid + heavy metals + microbial; the Full Botanical panel ($389) adds the pesticide / mycotoxin scope. Both are AKA-GMP-aligned in reporting format.
No — we don't provide legal opinions. Our COAs report the quantitative chemistry (7-OH mg/g, % of total alkaloid, alkaloid profile). Whether a specific product is legal at a federal or state level is a regulatory question your legal counsel addresses with the data. Many state-level kratom laws reference the AKA-GMP standard or the 2 % 7-OH cap; our COAs provide the analytical basis to demonstrate compliance.
