Is kratom bad for the liver?

I cannot give any medical advice on this, but I did try kratom for my back pain a few years ago. After a couple of weeks, I started feeling very fatigued and had mild abdominal discomfort, so I stopped immediately. Everyone's body reacts differently, so be careful.

My son was looking into these online herbal powders for anxiety last year, and we researched kratom together. Many medical journals have linked it to liver toxicity and liver failure. As a parent, I would request you to stay away from such unregulated substances and consult a proper specialist.

Please do not ignore warnings about liver health. I once ignored persistent fatigue thinking it was just work stress, only to find out my liver enzymes were dangerously high from a random supplement I was taking. Go get a routine blood test and check with a doctor immediately if you're feeling unwell.

There are several documented clinical cases linking kratom usage to acute liver injury, often starting within a few weeks of consumption. Since it is unregulated in many places, the purity and dosage are highly questionable. It is best to consult a medical professional before taking such supplements.
