KRATOM

[OF JENNY]

How many trainers use this? I bet it gets through the box.

As far as I know there isn't a test even for humans, that can detect Kratom.
It certainly helps with pain among other things, when using Legitimate Kratom sourced properly.

Yes, testing for kratom is  VERY possible

Mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine can be detected in blood or urine using techniques like LC-MS/MS (liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry).  Using it is russian roulette. Its a matter of when not if .  The sad part is the product has caused hundreds of deaths in humans

I find this very interesting. As someone who uses Kratom and is subject to random drug testing, I have never failed one. I was unaware of any positives and its my own fault for not researching it when Jenny brought the topic up before commenting.  I should have known there was a reason it was questioned.
Thank You Mike.

just curious--why are you using Kratom?

[SwankToliverA]

just curious--why are you using Kratom?

Arthritis in my spine.  It's more effective for me than anything else.
I am subject to extensive tox screens and haven't ever failed one, thats why this is surprising to me.

thanks for answering a personal question like that

i am glad it works for you

Kratom is probably not on the list of drugs they are screening for

[Kirbys Ace]

[OF JENNY]

You're welcome

[SwankToliverA]

Probably not but i am subject to a 12 panel test.
It also may depend on who its purchased from, as not all Kratom is legit.
I buy directly from the manufacturer and have for over a decade, less than a mile from home.

just curious--why are you using Kratom?

Just to clarify: you say you never had a positive test. Do you mean the medication never shows up at all or it shows up at a therapeutic level? If it showed up as being therapeutic, you would not be considered positive for over-dose.
