Botanic Tonics Announces Support for the Global Kratom Coalition and Advocates for Safe, Regulated Kratom Industry

The kratom industry has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by increasing consumer demand and awareness of the plant’s potential benefits. However, the lack of proper regulatory oversight has allowed irresponsible practices by some companies to tarnish the reputation of the entire sector. Botanic Tonics firmly believes that regulatory oversight and quality control measures are essential to safeguard consumer welfare and maintain public trust in kratom as a legitimate herbal supplement.

"Botanic Tonics is committed to advocating for common-sense regulations at both state and national levels," said Cameron Korehbandi, CEO and President of Botanic Tonics. "We actively support the recently introduced California Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA) and the recent amendments to the KCPA in Oklahoma, which aim to establish comprehensive regulations governing the production, labeling, and distribution of kratom products."

Botanic Tonics applauds the FDA’s recent efforts to undertake clinical research on kratom, including the leaf kratom Single Ascending Dose (SAD) study and the upcoming Human Abuse Potential (HAP) research. These studies will provide critical insights into kratom’s safety profile, pharmacokinetics, and abuse liability, informing regulatory decisions and promoting a fact-based approach to kratom regulation. 

In addition to advocating for robust regulations, Botanic Tonics supports the Global Kratom Coalition’s aim to uphold transparency, education, and responsible practices within the kratom industry. The Global Kratom Coalition will also actively collaborate with legislators, industry stakeholders, and advocacy groups to promote consumer protection measures and foster accountability among processors and vendors.

"By prioritizing consumer safety and collaborating with the Global Kratom Coalition, we aim to ensure the long-term viability and credibility of the kratom industry," added Korehbandi. "Through responsible practices and robust regulations, we can continue to provide consumers with access to safe and beneficial kratom products while contributing to the sustainable growth of the market."

Botanic Tonics remains committed to working alongside the Global Kratom Coalition, regulatory authorities, and industry partners to establish a safe, regulated kratom industry that benefits both consumers and responsible businesses.
