About Us

Global Kratom Coalition (GKC) is an alliance of leaf kratom consumers, experts, and industry leaders committed to protecting and expanding access to leaf kratom across the globe. We dedicate resources to advancing scientific research, driving consumer education, and developing robust regulations that are backed by science and protect consumers.

GKC focuses on leaf kratom product safety, scientific advancement, and consumer education. Whilst GKC’s foundation is based on the traditional use of leaf kratom in Southeast Asia, GKC acknowledges the rise and market demand for leaf kratom extracts in the United States. GKC advocates for the distinction between leaf kratom leaf, extracts, concentrates and isolates,  as ‘not all kratom is equal’, while also advocating for regulations designed to ensure that consumers have access to leaf kratom products that are safe.

Our Vision

We envision a world where leaf kratom products are recognized as a safe and natural option for those seeking to enhance their well-being, supported by a thriving scientific community dedicated to unlocking its potential. We envision a future where consumers have access to high-quality leaf kratom products, fair and reasonable regulations exist for leaf kratom products, and the leaf kratom science flourishes, providing greater understanding and knowledge.
