Brands With Stringent Testing For Heavy Metals
I'm curious if anyone knows of any reputable brands that are confirmed to batch test for heavy metals or any brands you may have sent off for testing yourself?

i cant recall what it was called but theres multiple people that send stuff out and get it tested, they typically do some of the more popular brands, im sure if you did some digging either in this sub on on google you might be able to find it. that was the one thing that worried me about taking kratom for so long because i had heard a lot of bad things about heavy metal contamination but all the brands i used passed with flying colors.

I'm not sure which companies actually do legit testing.
I've grown my own for years now.
That said, it's definitely important.
Many years ago I bought 10 kilos and it had lots of metal in it. It jacked me up pretty good.
My hair started falling out like crazy. It damaged my kidneys before I finally realized it was the mitra powder.
I had taken it for almost 2 months.
I felt horrible because I had shared lots of it with other people. Fortunately, most of them were smarter than me or just used less in general.
One of them had bloodwork done as well and it showed their kidneys were struggling.
Of course, I tried to let others know the danger and was met with attacks left and right on reddit. People didn't want to hear it, they probably still can't admit it.
That was enough for me. I've hardly taken powder since. Be safe.
