Kratom is a tree in the coffee family that grows in Southeast Asia. However, unlike coffee, kratom has no caffeine. For centuries, people have used kratom to naturally increase energy, ease occasional discomfort, and improve focus and calmness. The special benefits come from natural properties found in the leaves. When combined in different ways, these properties may help with various health conditions. ETHA uses only the highest-quality kratom to make 100% whole-leaf kratom tablets, powders, extracts, and drinks.
It's important to note that everyone's experience with kratom is different. Like many natural products, kratom's effects can vary from person to person. Traditionally, kratom was used to restore natural energy levels and alleviate temporary discomfort from a long day's work. Today, people use kratom for pain, rest, energy, mood, and focus.
Unlike other companies that simply buy and resell kratom products, ETHA makes all its products from start to finish. ETHA uses a strict and standardized manufacturing process to create not only the highest quality kratom but also products that are consistent and reliable. However, kratom’s effects depend on the person, their reason for using it, and the amount they take.
ETHA is well-known for its premium kratom blends. The ETHA Labs team prioritizes research and development to find the best combinations of kratom plant harvests, ensuring reliable and consistent benefits. Our proprietary blends are designed to help with discomfort relief, boost energy, promote restful sleep, and more. You can check out all of ETHA’s Premium Kratom blends here.
We also offer four types of Pure Vein kratom: Green, Red, White, and Yellow. Pure veins come from a single type of plant and may have more varied effects due to the natural properties of individual plants. Explore all of ETHA’s Pure Vein products here.
Our products are available in many forms, so you can enjoy the benefits of kratom through tablets, powders, extracts, mints, shots, and refreshing drinks.
Kratom has been used for centuries to help reduce occasional discomfort. Kratom plants have natural properties that may provide relief from discomfort. For new customers, we recommend the Starter Bundle, which includes two products: ETHA SunRise and SunSet kratom. These products take a natural and holistic approach to managing discomfort and energy, offering an alternative to traditional pharmaceutical medications.
SunRise supports occasional pain relief and provides a natural “wake-up” boost, while SunSet helps with muscle relief, reduces inflammation, and promotes relaxation at the end of your day.
The natural properties of kratom may help your body restore its energy levels naturally. Traditionally, kratom leaves have been used as energy boosters, like coffee or tea, but without caffeine. ETHA offers a variety of life-enhancing products designed to boost energy levels, including ReFresh Brewed Kratom, Maeng Da, and WorkOut.
Everyone metabolizes food and herbal botanicals differently. It is a good rule of thumb to adjust your dosage based on how you feel.
If you're new to kratom, we recommend following this process to find what works best for you. Start with 1.2g (4 ETHA kratom tablets) and increase by 600mg (2 tablets) every 30 minutes until you reach your desired effect. Most people typically use between 2.4g - 5g (8 - 16 tablets) per dose.
For kratom extract products, look at how much mitragynine is in it. People usually use 20-40 mg of mitragynine per dose.
ETHA’s products come with clear instructions, and your body’s response will guide you in finding the right amount of kratom for your needs. View our dosage guide HERE
People can choose to use our exclusive pressed tablets however they want. They can chew them or the easiest way would be to take it like a regular pill. They are very small and give you the most kratom in the smallest form factor. 100% whole-leaf kratom with no fillers, barriers, or additives. You won't find an easier way to use kratom.
Here is more information on dosing and tablets.
Kratom is a popular herbal supplement that may help people naturally manage energy levels, ease discomfort, promote calmness, and address stress-related issues. When high-quality kratom is used as recommended, it is as safe as drinking coffee. However, like any substance—including water—it can become unsafe if taken in very large amounts. Some people report temporary side effects such as nausea, dizziness, or dry mouth, but these are usually linked to taking extremely large doses.
When used responsibly and made by a trusted manufacturer, kratom can be a great natural option for supporting better health.
Kratom is still being studied for its properties, potential uses, and effects. While kratom may raise health concerns for certain groups of people, there is little evidence of misuse when it comes to supplements made from lab-verified, 100% whole-leaf kratom products like ETHA Kratom. For most individuals without pre-existing conditions, who use kratom responsibly and in moderation, the risk of addiction is very low.
Kratom is not currently regulated by the FDA and is not classified as a controlled substance.

7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH). It’s one of the most popular terms in the kratom world. While 7OH is an alkaloid naturally found in kratom, it is one of the most complicated terms used in the industry. To begin, 7-OH is a naturally occurring alkaloid found in the kratom plant, Mitragyna speciosa. It is NOT present in large amounts in the raw leaf or in the plant's natural, unadulterated form, usually less than 0.01%. However, the body can convert another compound found in kratom, mitragynine, into 7-OH during digestion. 7-OH is believed to contribute to the analgesic (pain-relieving) effects of kratom. However, based on the available research, it does NOT seem to produce the same dangerous respiratory depression associated with classical opioids when taken in NATURAL (unadulterated) kratom form. Recently, there has been a concerning proliferation of concentrated 7-OH products that are sold over the counter and online. The enhanced amount of 7-OH in these products is likely synthetically derived through oxidate chemical conversion of mitragynine isolates or kratom extracts. Current research shows concerns over dependency and tolerance with these 7OH products. These products are NOT kratom.
7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) is a naturally occurring alkaloid found in the kratom plant Mitragyna speciosa. In the raw leaf or in its natural, unadulterated form you will find this alkaloid present in very small amounts, usually less than 0.01%. However, the body can convert another compound found in kratom, mitragynine, into 7-OH during digestion. ETHA does NOT add synthetic 7-OH or manipulate the alkaloid profile of our 7th Hour Super Mints or ANY other ETHA products. Our botanicals are lab-tested, ethically sourced, and 100% plant-based. Our 7th Hour Super Mints are your ALL-Natural alternative to the synthetic 7-OH enhanced products. Each 500mg mint contains 115mg of Mitragynine, which naturally converts in the body to 7-Hydroxymitragynine (18-23mg). All natural and no synthetic processes. Extended-Release benefits and sustained kratom alkaloid experience. A pure, all-natural experience of ultra-pure kratom extract, 115mg mitragynine. No synthetically enhanced 7OH!
At ETHA, we believe in keeping kratom the way nature designed it, a full-spectrum botanical with no fillers, binders, or synthetic alterations. Every ETHA product is lab tested to ensure you’re getting safe, pure, and naturally balanced kratom with little potential for abuse when used responsibly. 7-OH is a naturally occurring alkaloid found in the kratom plant. It is not present in large amounts in the raw leaf or in its natural, unadulterated form, usually less than 0.01%. However, the body can convert another compound found in kratom, mitragynine, into 7-OH during digestion. This slow conversion in the body paired with the presence of other kratom alkaloids means a much different experience versus consumption of synthetically enhanced 7OH products. As such, ETHA products do contain very small, trace amounts of the naturally occurring 7-OH alkaloid. ETHA does NOT offer any products where the 7-OH alkaloid has been enhanced, elevated, and/or chemically altered. All our ETHA products are natural kratom, no synthetically enhanced 7OH!
When you are trying to break any habit or “addiction” moderation and responsible behavior are the key. Do not drastically alter your behavior and routine because you may be in for a rough couple of days or weeks. Start slowly tapering down your current 7-OH use and make sure you have a good support network of friends and family to help you along. Slowly introduce yourself to ETHA Super Mints while you continue to lower your 7-OH usage. Thereafter, begin to lower the super Mints usage and add in traditional ETHA Mints. Finally, add in whole leaf tablets (MaengDa and Sunrise are great options) as you limit your Mints usage to maybe a few per week. Ultimately, you want to move to whole leaf kratom tablets or powders as your go-to while the Mints (and Super Mints) are there when you’re having a particularly tough day. From there, you can decide to stop your kratom usage altogether or continue to use it responsibly for all the wonderful benefits. Please feel free to reach out to us anytime support@ethanaturals.com if you have any questions, or need any additional information/guidance.
