Christopher’s Weekly Tea Talks
A live, come-as-you-are conversation about natural kratom and herbal wellness. Join us for Christopher’s Weekly Tea Talks every Thursday at 7 PM EST, where I host a live Zoom session where people can learn about natural kratom, ask questions, connect with others, and hear exactly what is happening in the real world not just in politics or the media, but in the everyday lives of consumers, small businesses, and the farmers who grow this plant. The world of wellness is evolving, and with it comes the necessity for open dialogues about natural remedies. In our discussions, we emphasize the importance of understanding both the benefits and risks associated with herbal supplements, especially kratom. Many individuals are seeking alternatives to traditional pharmaceuticals, and kratom has emerged as a popular choice. It’s crucial to share real-life experiences that highlight both the positive outcomes and the challenges faced by users. During our sessions, we focus on practical advice and real stories from people who have integrated kratom into their lives. This personal touch makes our discussions relatable and informative. We often feature guest speakers who share their journeys with herbal medicine, which adds a diverse perspective to our conversations. This format encourages a deeper exploration of topics that are often overlooked. For instance, we discuss recent research findings on kratom and its potential therapeutic benefits. By examining studies, we equip our community with factual information to make informed decisions. Talk Beyond Just The Headlines Natural kratom has helped countless people reclaim quality of life, yet most of what the public hears comes from headlines, not real humans with real experiences. Christopher’s Weekly Tea Talks is where that changes. Moreover, we aim to demystify kratom by addressing common myths and misconceptions. This awareness is essential in navigating the discourse surrounding kratom, especially in light of regulatory challenges.

Pharmacokinetics of Eleven Kratom Alkaloids Following an Oral Dose of Either Traditional or Commercial Kratom Products in Rats
Abstract Kratom, Mitragyna speciosa Korth., is being widely consumed in the United States for pain management and the reduction of opioid withdrawal symptoms. The central nervous system (CNS) active alkaloids of kratom, including mitragynine, 7-hydroxymitragynine, and numerous additional compounds, are believed to derive their effects through opioid receptor activity. There is no literature describing the systemic exposure of many of these alkaloids after the consumption of kratom. Therefore, we have developed and validated a bioanalytical method for the simultaneous quantitation of 11 kratom alkaloids (mitragynine, 7-hydroxymitragynine, corynantheidine, speciogynine, speciociliatine, paynantheine, corynoxine, corynoxine-B, mitraphylline, ajmalicine, and isospeciofoline) in rat plasma. The validated method was used to analyze oral pharmacokinetic study samples of lyophilized kratom tea (LKT) and a marketed product, OPMS liquid shot, in rats. Among the 11 alkaloids, only mitragynine, 7hydroxymitragynine, speciociliatine, and corynantheidine showed systemic exposure 8 h postdose, and the dose-normalized systemic exposure of these four alkaloids was higher (1.6-2.4-fold) following the administration of the commercial OPMS liquid. Paynantheine and speciogynine levels were quantifiable up to 1 h postdose, whereas none of the other alkaloids were detected. In summary, the method was successfully applied to quantify the exposure of individual kratom alkaloids after an oral dose of traditional or commercial products. This information will contribute to understanding the role of each alkaloid in the overall pharmacology of kratom and elucidating the pharmacokinetic differences between traditional and commercial kratom products.

Getting my 8th GMP audit today
We are getting our 8th GMP audit today. We have all of our paperwork and production records audited. Here are a few of our production records and how the record-keeping needs to be done. This is why we may not be the cheapest, but we are doing kratom the right way!🤝

Kratom Alkaloids: A Guide to Reading Lab Reports
This video provides a technical production plan and script for an educational video regarding the alkaloid content found in specific batches of Green and White Maeng Da kratom. It uses laboratory certificates of analysis to teach viewers how to convert complex weight percentages into understandable units, such as milligrams and micrograms. A primary focus of the guide is distinguishing between the chemical composition of the raw powder and how those substances are later processed by human metabolism. To ensure accuracy, the text emphasizes the importance of precise unit conversion, clear visual data cards, and the use of verified scientific sources. Ultimately, the material serves as a literacy tool for understanding product labeling while maintaining a cautious perspective on the risks and biological variability of kratom use.

The 7-OH Timeline: Origins of Federal Regulation
Outlines a detailed chronological history of the regulatory and public scrutiny surrounding 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), a concentrated derivative of kratom. It argues that the government’s move to classify 7-OH as a controlled substance was not the result of a single organization’s lobbying, but rather a multi-year progression of scientific warnings, poison control data, and viral media coverage. The text emphasizes a critical distinction between traditional kratom leaf, which contains only trace amounts of the alkaloid, and modern manufactured tablets engineered for high potency. Key milestones include a 2016 research study, influential YouTube exposés, and formal federal scheduling recommendations that predated high-profile lobbying campaigns. Ultimately, the narrative suggests that the industry’s shift toward chemically manipulated products made federal intervention inevitable. This overview serves to clarify that the current legal challenges face isolated compounds rather than the natural botanical plant itself.
