For centuries, kratom has been used for its medicinal properties as a natural remedy and pain management solution. However, the cultivation, sale, and use of kratom is legal only in some countries and is yet to be approved by the FDA.
One of the commonly cited issues is related to the verifiability of kratom vendors and the quality of their products. There was a need for a formal entity that will set high-quality standards and motivate vendors to boost their ongoing efforts.
American Kratom Association is one of the main facilitators in the process of establishing kratom as a safe-to-use remedy and aims to raise awareness of kratom benefits and provide support for consumers. AKA’s key efforts are directed towards AKA GMP Standards Program developed to enhance the safety and quality of kratom products on the market.
What you need to know about AKA
American Kratom Association was established in 2014, and for 5 years now they have been dedicated to educating the public about kratom’s beneficial properties. Their aim is to minimize the risk related to kratom and protect users from contamination and adulteration of any kratom product. As a result, AKA wishes to increase consumer confidence by ensuring all kratom products are pure and of the highest quality.
As Dave Herman, Chairman of the Board, states: “AKA is dedicated to protecting the kratom consumer; our efforts are targeted to helping create a kratom consumer safety channel”. As he describes it, the program is designed to inform consumers of kratom vendors who are committed to following safe and responsible manufacturing practices.
AKA Good Manufacturing Practice Standards Program
To make sure that kratom vendors continue to raise the level of manufacturing processes, AKA has specified manufacturing and processing standards in their AKA GMP Standards Program. The program is focused on the details regarding the manufacture, labeling and verification requirements of kratom dietary supplements, thus raising the bar for their quality above the standards set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Companies that apply for this program will be audited by an independent 3rd party who will confirm that their practices are in line with the AKA GMP Standards Program.
The 3rd party audit will be conducted annually by auditors who have experience conducting dietary supplement GMP audits and will take AKA standards into consideration. All companies that apply to be a part of the AKA GMP Standards Program will have to address specific aspects of the GMP, including standard operating procedures, recordkeeping, adverse event reporting systems and recalls, and marketing practices. All details can be found here.
Kratom Krates officially became a Qualified Vendor!
Like AKA, we are also dedicated to raising the quality of kratom supplements to be certain that our loyal consumers receive the best and safe-to-use products.
And now, Kratom Krates can proudly say that we have officially passed the audit and became qualified vendors of kratom-related products! Once the Kratom Consumer Protection Act passes, we will be one of the very few companies allowed to manufacture and distribute kratom in the US. For now, what this means for us and our loyal consumers is that they can be one hundred percent certain we produce and distribute only top-quality products.
We have been operating in the industry long enough to see that despite kratom’s long list of benefits, people are still questioning whether or not it is truly beneficial. Quite understandably, this skepticism resulted from a lack of quality control in the past and the fact that many small distributors created kratom products in unsuitable conditions, without proper testing for contamination.
AKA was established to protect users from potential risks that may occur as a result of such inadequate practices. We, too, believe that kratom users deserve only the finest grade products that will deliver the expected benefits.
Since the establishment, we focused on creating the safest and most appropriate environment for the production of all of our products. Furthermore, rest assured that all of our products pass strict quality testing prior to hitting the market. By joining the AKA initiative, we underscore our goal and company mission – to become a premium supplier of high-quality, holistic kratom powder, capsules and CBD products.
We invite all of our industry peers to apply for AKA GMP certification and show that the kratom community is dedicated to providing kratom consumers with nature’s best products.
was so tired of going to pain management so i started doing research found kratom; now a little background as to why i needed pain management, i was in a very severe car accident and lets just say that i sustained numerous fractures including skull and neck fractures as a result of the broken neck i pulled the nerves out of the spinal column on c5,c6,and c7 now those nerves control the right side of the chest and right arm rendering the arm of no use. had the right arm amputated.now you would think that phantom pain is b.S. and after 9 yrs. there should be no pain there well guess what sometimes the pain is so bad suicide seemed like a solution at times, tired of going to pain clinics and only then temporary relief with their management and the crackdown on opioids and the insurance companies it really was a pain in the ass. so i was searching for some kratom to try from the start i new it was a wonder drug and legal too. now life is as awesome as can be. not chained down to a drug the really never made the pain go away just taking the edge off of it. after finding the kratom and tried it i searched the net and found kratom krates to have the best kratom bar none and the best deals anyone could ask for. just one more thing here my wife has fibremyalga and arthritis. she was against kratom like many that aren’t educated and against everything, i told her look at me now and just try it once she did and now she takes it to. more help than all the prescription drugs they pawn off on you. now i just tell as many skeptics as i can being sure to mention kratom krates as the best company to buy from.. when i get the comments with the legality i tell them look the service station sells it so now what. then you turn the ones that say this hurts that hurts so they turn after they try it. i want to thank everyone out there that keeps fighting for the legality of this miracle that makes life a hell of allot better..
