Despite years of scrutiny, recent FDA studies have now acknowledged that dried leaf Kratom is well tolerated in humans. This pivotal update was discussed recently in Etha Natural Botanicals’ "Live Fully with Kratom" podcast, and I'm thrilled to share this episode with you here on Kratom Stories.

You'll hear Etha’s co-founder, Alexander, and head of customer service, Amanda, as they dive into the significant outcome of the FDA's Kratom study presented at a recent symposium. They underscore the critical role of the Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA) in enforcing FDA transparency and ensuring safer consumer practices.

To stay updated and well-informed on Kratom, consider following trustworthy organizations such as the American Kratom Association and the Global Kratom Coalition. It's a great way to learn the always-evolving landscape of Kratom research and advocacy.
