How It’s Used
You will encounter the term “alkaloid” in product descriptions, lab reports, and educational materials across the kratom space. On a COA, alkaloid concentrations, primarily mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine, are reported as percentages of total product weight. These numbers let you compare potency across products objectively.
In regulatory contexts, alkaloid concentrations are central to KCPA compliance. The cap on 7-OH content (typically 2% of total alkaloid content) is one of the key safety thresholds in consumer protection legislation, making alkaloid testing a core requirement for legal kratom sales in regulated states.
