HOW TO FIND MY HARVEST LOT NUMBER
When you flip any ETHA Natural Botanicals package over to the back, you will notice a Blend number. Use this number in the Harvest Lot Number search field above to find your lab test certificates with results on quality and alkaloid content.
Certificate of Analysis (COA) Results Interpretation
While companies claim lab testing, no one does it like ETHA. Properly reading a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for kratom is crucial for safety, quality, and efficacy. No matter where you choose to purchase your kratom, use the information below to understand and interpret kratom COAs.
Kratom Potency: Alkaloids
Current kratom regulations only require potency testing for Mitragynine and 7-Hydroxymitragynine. However, mitragynine has several isomers, additional important alkaloids that are similar in chemical structure to mitragynine. These isomers have different pharmacokinetics effects related to kratom’s varied benefits. Additionally if labs do not specifically test for these isomers, mitragynine potency may be overstated.
FOR ACCURATE POTENCY, LOOK FOR:
• Mitragynine
• 7-Hydroxymitragynine
• Speciociliatine
• Speciogynine
• Paynantheine
• Isorhynchophylline
• Mitraphylline

360 testing
At ETHA Labs, we use well-established laboratory procedures to test our botanicals in-house. We also partner with universities and 3rd-party, independent laboratories to provide confidence and transparency in our botanical analysis. Our labs specialize in botanical analysis and help us to identify kratom alkaloids, adulterants, and heavy metals to ensure your ETHA products are safe and effective.
While companies claim lab testing, no one does it like ETHA. We go the extra mile by testing in-house, through universities, and independent labs. This is how we gain a 360-degree view of our plants and products.
Growing Knowledge
We understand the importance of horticulture as it sheds light on a plant's medicinal potential. That's why we grow our own botanicals like Kratom. Plant morphology can vary tremendously. It is based on environmental factors such as: soil conditions, amount of sunlight, frequency of available water, natural fertilization, pollution levels, and even what is living within the plant. Any human contact and interaction with the plant will also impact the plant.
Additional factors, such as how it is harvested, processed, where it is stored, and how long it sits on shelves are also important to consider. These factors can impact how the plant develops, matures, and reproduces. Understanding what happens at the molecular level to the bio-active alkaloids is also important.
These differences can be very subtle and even invisible to the eye. Nevertheless, these factors can be extremely important to the effectiveness and safety of your botanical products.
