The best site I know of (trustworthy and good price) is KrtomSmith.com Your Kratom Store Online . I am currently testing it on several of my patients, and have a few family members on it as well.

There are trials going on with it for depression and fibromyalgia as well.

Feel free to ask anything about it.
I was intrigued about this so looked it up. Seems this kratom has been placed on the DEA list of concern. I'd stick with the meds my veterinarian prescribed since he actually has a license to practice medicine. Here's a link to the tragic story about the lady who died. There are other stories online about this product too. May she rest in peace. Coroner?s report leaves questions about kratom unanswered | KING5.com Seattle
