Dangers of Kratom Use
Although Kratom is marketed as a natural alternative to prescription painkillers, its risks cannot be overlooked. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have raised concerns about Kratom’s potential for addiction, withdrawal symptoms, and serious health complications.
Some reported risks associated with Kratom use include:
- Liver damage
- Seizures
- Respiratory issues
- Cardiac arrest
- Severe withdrawal symptoms
- Contamination with heavy metals and harmful substances
Certain Kratom manufacturers have been found to mislabel their products, leading consumers to unknowingly ingest harmful substances. Additionally, some companies distribute Kratom with deceptive claims about its benefits, further endangering public health.
