What to Look for when Buying Kratom:
When evaluating a kratom supplier, there are several important factors to consider. Here’s a detailed list of what you should look for and why:
1. Quality and Purity:
- Why: High-quality kratom is essential for safety and effectiveness. Look for suppliers who provide lab-tested, pure kratom without contaminants or additives.
- What to Look For: Check for third-party lab testing results on their website. Ensure the product is free from heavy metals, pathogens, and other impurities.
- The rhizOHM way: All of our Kratom has been 3rd Party lab tested at least once or twice by our suppliers and spot tested by us as required by law.
2. Strain Variety:
- Why: Different kratom "strains"* are considered to have varying effects (e.g., red vein for relaxation, green vein for energy). A supplier with a diverse strain selection allows you to choose what suits your needs. ("Strains" do not actually exist, here is The Truth about Kratom Strains and Vein Colors)
- What to Look For: A supplier offering a wide range of strains (e.g., red, green, white) and blends.
- The rhizOHM way: we offer the 3 primary colors (White, Green, and Red) and 5 blends (the All GOOD Blends).
3. Sourcing and Origin:
- Why: Kratom quality depends on where it’s grown. Look for suppliers who source kratom from reputable regions with optimal climate conditions.
- What to Look For: Information about the origin and sourcing practices. (Pro-tip: ALL Kratom currently comes from Indonesia. Although Thailand recently legalized it, it is not being exported from there at this time. Anyone claiming to have kratom from anywhere else is either uninformed or lying to you!)
- The rhizOHM way: we source all of our Kratom from top-tier suppliers in Indonesia, who pay a fair price to their growers and gatherers, and it is all either wild harvested or plantation grown without fertilizers or pesticides.
4. Customer Reviews and Reputation:
- Why: Real customer experiences provide insights into a supplier’s reliability, product quality, and customer service.
- What to Look For: Read reviews on independent platforms. A supplier with positive feedback and a solid reputation is preferable.
- The rhizOHM way: we are Liked by over 7,000 Facebook users and have 5-Star Average Rating from our 3rd party Verified Buyers!

5. Transparency and Communication:
- Why: Trustworthy suppliers are transparent about their processes, policies, and product details.
- What to Look For: Check if they provide clear information about their products, shipping, returns, and customer support. Responsive communication is crucial.
- The rhizOHM way: we believe in putting everything in "black and white" (did you notice the website theme?) and we make contacting us as easy as possible HERE.
6. Pricing and Value:
- Why: Quality matters most, but affordability is also important. Look for suppliers offering competitive prices without compromising quality.
- What to Look For: Price is not as important as Value! Comparing prices across different suppliers may lead you to lower prices BUT that is because you are buying lower quality. The BEST VALUE is when you are getting the HIGHEST QUALITY for the LOWEST PRICE! Also consider bulk discounts and loyalty programs.
- The rhizOHM way: we do everything we can to keep our Quality as High as Possible while still keeping our Prices as Low as Possible - that's our VALUE!
7. Shipping and Packaging:
- Why: Timely delivery and secure packaging ensure a positive buying experience.
- What to Look For: Check shipping options, estimated delivery times, and packaging quality. Discreet packaging is preferable.
- The rhizOHM way: we ship using USPS and UPS and offer most of their services from slow to fast all with tracking! We also ship in clean repurposed boxes from Amazon, Chewy, etc so that we are saving the planet while protecting your privacy! (Shipments only say RO and our box number as the senders address for your discretion)
