Frequently Asked Questions
What are botanical blends?
It is the shelf that grew up around plants other than kratom — single-serving botanical extract products for adults 21 and over. It is a category, not one plant: Cat's Claw (Uncaria tomentosa) is the part most people found first, and it sits alongside kava, kanna and functional mushrooms. Botanical Blends is a distributor and retailer, so we carry other companies' brands rather than making anything ourselves. Read the full guide.
Do these products contain kratom or kratom extracts?
No. Everything we carry is kratom-free — no kratom, no mitragynine, and no 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH). That is the whole category we stock.
What is Cat's Claw?
Cat's Claw is the common name for Uncaria tomentosa, a woody vine native to the Amazon rainforest, named for the curved, hooked thorns along its stems. We wrote a full guide: What Is Cat's Claw?
Is Cat's Claw affected by the DEA's 7-OH scheduling?
The DEA's action covers 7-hydroxymitragynine above a specified threshold and related compounds derived from kratom. Cat's Claw is a different plant and contains none of them. See Is 7-OH Banned? for the detail.
What do you carry besides Cat's Claw?
Cat's Claw is the core of the catalogue today. We are adding functional mushrooms and kava next — both are ordinary dietary ingredients with no scheduling issue, and kava is not controlled under the Controlled Substances Act. We do not carry blue lotus, and we say why in this post. The shop is always the accurate list of what is in stock right now.
Which brands do you carry?
We stock established kratom-free botanical brands and add more over time. Browse the current lineup in the shop — that is always the accurate list.
What formats do you sell?
Do you make your own products?
No. We are a retailer and distributor. Every product we sell is manufactured by an independent brand. We vet what we carry, publish the lab documentation, and pass manufacturer information through to you.
Are your products lab tested?
Yes. We publish a certificate of analysis for every SKU on our COA page, grouped by brand. If you want to know what to look for on one, read How to Read a COA.
Do I have to be 21?
Yes. Everything we sell is for adults 21 and over. We may require age verification and can cancel an order that does not meet the requirement.
How much should I take?
Follow the serving directions printed on the label of the product you bought — they differ by brand and format, and the label is the authority. Start with a single serving. If you take medication, are pregnant or nursing, or manage a medical condition, speak to a qualified healthcare professional first.
