About Truth About Kratom

Truth About Kratom is an independent consumer-advocacy publication about kratom. Our purpose is simple: to give people clear, honest, well-researched information about kratom so they can make their own informed decisions. We are not a store, we do not sell kratom, and we are not affiliated with any government agency. This page explains who we are, what we stand for, how we are funded, and how to reach us.

Our Mission

The kratom market is unregulated and full of marketing that overstates benefits and hides risks. We exist to counter that with plain, accurate, evidence-based information. Every claim about effects on this site is framed strictly as what surveys and research actually show, never as a promise, and our coverage includes the honest cautions that product sellers have no incentive to mention. Our goal is an informed reader, not a customer. Whether the honest answer helps or hurts anyone's sales is not our concern, and that independence is the whole point of the site.

Who We Are

Our content is researched and written to a documented standard, and our lead author is Glenda Lindberg, a retired anthropologist with decades of Southeast Asia field experience who now works as a researcher and consumer advocate. You can read more about her background on the Glenda Lindberg page. The way we research, source, and verify everything we publish is spelled out in our editorial standards, which explains our use of peer-reviewed citations, our reading-level and clarity rules, and how we handle uncertainty.

How We Are Funded

Publishing costs money, and we fund this site through a single, clearly labeled sponsor rather than paywalls or scattered ads. That sponsorship is restricted to labeled banner placements on eligible pages, and it never touches our editorial content, which is researched and written independently. Certain sensitive pages, including our dosage guide, our frequency and tolerance guide, and the entire state-law section, carry no advertising at all. The full relationship is explained plainly in our advertising disclosure, which we encourage everyone to read.

What We Do Not Do

To be clear about our limits: we do not sell kratom or any products, we do not offer medical or legal advice, and we do not make health claims about kratom. Nothing on this site should be taken as a recommendation to use kratom or as guidance for managing any condition. We provide information; decisions and their consequences rest with the reader. For anything involving your health, a qualified professional is the right source, and for legal questions, current official sources and a qualified attorney are the right sources.

Site Policies

Like any publication, we operate under clear policies. Our terms and conditions govern the use of this site, and our privacy policy explains what limited information we collect through standard web analytics and how it is handled. Both are written in plain language, and we encourage you to review them. Together with our editorial standards and advertising disclosure, they document how this site operates and what you can expect from us.

Get in Touch

We welcome questions, corrections, and feedback. If you spot an error, want to suggest a topic, or have a question about our coverage, the best way to reach us is through our contact us page. Because accuracy matters to us, we take corrections seriously and will fix genuine errors promptly. New to the topic entirely? A good place to start is our overview of what kratom is, which grounds the fundamentals before you explore the rest of the site.

The Bottom Line

Truth About Kratom is an independent, sponsor-funded consumer resource built to tell people the honest truth about kratom, including the parts that sellers leave out. We research carefully, cite real sources, disclose our funding openly, and put the reader's informed understanding ahead of anyone's sales. We do not sell kratom, give medical advice, or make health claims. What we offer is clear, evidence-based information and the transparency to let you judge it for yourself, which is exactly what an unregulated market makes so necessary.
