flag Kratom use is linked to rising deaths in Indiana, with toxicology showing dangerous compounds causing overdose risks despite being marketed as natural.

flag The Indiana Coroner’s Office reports a growing number of deaths linked to kratom, a natural supplement used for pain and anxiety despite being deemed unsafe by the FDA. flag Though federally legal, kratom is banned in Indiana and restricted in nearby states. flag Toxicology reports show rising levels of mitragynine and potent forms like 7-OH in deceased individuals, which can cause opioid-like effects, dependence, and overdose. flag Available in stores and online as gummies, powders, and drinks, kratom lacks pre-market safety approval, and no central authority ensures quality. flag The coroner warns that “natural” does not mean safe and urges caution, especially due to risks of interactions and unregulated ingredients.
