Is it accurate to say that kratom can harm the liver?

submitted by amalan from self.kratom

Hi there, I've been curious about this for a while as I'm new to kratom and considering if it's worth it.

So, what do you think, guys? Does kratom really harm the liver? How long have you been using kratom, and have you ever had any liver problems as a result of using it?

I know you might suggest me to read a lot. But I don't really have time to do so, although I actually found an article that seems to summarize all the worries: https://www.borneohale.com/scientifically-proven-kratom-isnt-the-agent-of-liver-damage/

Not sure about liver damage, but kratom can be very insidious and I'd strongly recommend against regular use.

The big concern is heavy metals, pathogens, mold, and with extracts..residual solvents. Importing a leaf powder by sea freight from a country not known for their clean infrastructure presents a lot of challenges

Another big concern is the amount of dry plain leaf powder people are consuming. Can cause dehydration over a long period of time and is not good for your health in my opinion. If dose is getting up there I would switch to an extract from a reliable source that has full lap reports on it
