Think They Passed a Drug Test? They May Still Be Using Kratom.

Kratom Metabolite Screen with Reflex Confirmation (Urine)

A standard drug test may come back completely negative—even if someone is using kratom.

That's because most routine 5-panel, 10-panel, and many expanded drug screens do not test for kratom. If kratom use is a concern, a specific kratom test must be ordered.

What Is Kratom?

Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia. Its leaves contain naturally occurring compounds called mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) that act on opioid receptors in the brain.

Although kratom is marketed as a natural herbal supplement, it is often used for its stimulant effects at lower doses and opioid-like effects at higher doses. Some individuals use it to increase energy, improve mood, relieve pain, or attempt to manage opioid withdrawal. Regular use can lead to tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal symptoms.

Today, kratom is commonly sold in vape shops, smoke shops, convenience stores, gas stations, and online as powders, capsules, tablets, gummies, teas, extracts, and concentrated liquid shots.

Popular products and brand names include:

  • 7OH® or 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) tablets
  • OPMS® Gold
  • OPMS® Black
  • MIT45®
  • K-Shots
  • Trainwreck Kratom
  • Maeng Da
  • Bali Kratom
  • Red Vein, Green Vein, and White Vein Kratom

Many of today's concentrated products contain much higher levels of the active compounds than traditional kratom leaf, increasing the risk of intoxication, dependence, and adverse effects.

Why This Test Matters

Unlike routine drug screens, this urine test is specifically designed to detect kratom metabolites, including mitragynine, with confirmatory testing when indicated.

If you're concerned about possible kratom use, don't rely on a standard drug screen—it most likely will not detect it.

Who Should Consider This Test?

  • Parents concerned about kratom use in a teen or young adult
  • Individuals who want to verify recent kratom exposure
  • Healthcare providers evaluating unexplained symptoms
  • Employers requesting expanded drug testing
  • Recovery and treatment programs
