How every test works

Vendors can't pay for testing, placement or scores. We may earn a commission when you buy through a link, and we say so on every page. The methodology and scoring formula are public.

  1. 01

    Order like a customer

    Retail price, shipped to a Canadian address, from accounts vendors can't link to us.

  2. 02

    Film the unboxing

    Seal, batch number and receipt on camera. Half the sample is kept for retests.

  3. 03

    Accredited lab

    Alkaloids, heavy metals, microbial, pesticides and mycotoxins.

  4. 04

    Publish everything

    Full certificate of analysis, the video and the vendor's response.

Questions people ask us

What does KratomSource do?

We buy kratom from vendors that ship inside Canada, anonymously and at retail price, send it to an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited lab, and publish the full certificate of analysis, pass or fail, with a video of the unboxing. Each vendor then carries a Lab Score, and verified buyers add a Community Score.

Is kratom legal in Canada?

Legal to buy and possess; it is not a controlled substance. Health Canada has not authorized any kratom product for sale as a health product, so vendors sell it as a botanical not for human consumption and Health Canada has seized it from stores. Our legal guide and enforcement tracker cover the details.

Which Canadian kratom vendors are safest?

Nobody can answer that from marketing claims, which is why we test. Until lab results are published, our rankings score vendors on posted certificates, shipping, payment and policies, and a vendor that fails a safety panel will drop to the bottom regardless of price.

Do vendors pay KratomSource?

Not for scores, placement or testing. We may earn a disclosed affiliate commission when you buy through a link, and we are open to clearly labelled sponsorship that never touches results. Every rule is on the independence page.

When are the first lab results coming?

Early 2027 for the first Canadian round. Subscribe and we email you the day they go live.
