About Us
Global Kratom Coalition (GKC) is an alliance of Kratom consumers, experts, and industry leaders committed to protecting and expanding access to 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 Kratom product safety, scientific advancement, and consumer education. Whilst GKC’s foundation is based on the traditional use of Kratom in Southeast Asia, GKC acknowledges the rise and market demand for kratom extracts in the United States. GKC advocates for the distinction between 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 kratom products that are safe.

We envision a future where consumers have access to high-quality Kratom products, fair and reasonable regulations exist for Kratom products, and the Kratom science flourishes, providing greater understanding and knowledge.
