HAPPY HIPPO
Happy Hippo Herbals, or simply Happy Hippo as it’s commonly referred to, is a one of the most reputable kratom vendors in the industry. They’ve built a solid reputation around quality, safety precautions, customer satisfaction, and even as political advocates in the fight for kratom legalization and de-stigmatization.
Happy Hippo Herbals doesn’t import their own kratom. Instead, a third party company handles the importing, then proceeds to send the kratom to a third party laboratory to test for heavy metals, E. Coli, and pathogens, such as Salmonella. Additionally, Happy Hippo kratom is also sterilized at the specific temperature of 170 degrees to ensure all pathogens are eradicated without destroying the alkaloids responsible for kratom’s many uses. But wait, there’s more! Happy Hippo has their kratom re-tested following the sterilization process to confirm the initial lab tests.
Happy Hippo Herbals is AKA GMP certified. AKA GMP stands for American Kratom Association Good Manufacturing Process, which is a certification that can be obtained by kratom companies from the AKA upon meeting certain criteria. The AKA is a non-profit organization with a mission to ensure customers receive only high quality kratom. They’re also known to be political and social kratom advocates. The FDA (Food & Drug Administration) requires a specific set of rules and processes for all food and drug products. However, no kratom is FDA approved. Therefore, the AKA created the GMP certification, which intentionally resembles and exceeds the certification provided by the FDA. Hence, the AKA GMP is one of many ways a vendor can prove their kratom inventory is rendered high quality. The AKA GMP is comprised of specific protocols in the following areas:
Once the criteria is met, the vendor is added to a webpage displaying all kratom vendors which are AKA GMP certified. In order to comply with the AKA GMP, Happy Hippo Herbals invested over $100,000 and 9 months into their manufacturing packaging facility and laboratory; a feat that’s by no means easy for a vendor who doesn’t consider itself to be a large company.
Like the AKA, Happy Hippo is proud to be a part of the mission. Unfortunately, kratom has been negatively stigmatized by politicians and organizations, which has incentivized a movement to ban kratom. The last attempt was spearheaded in 2016 by the DEA. However, thanks to the persistent effort from our advocates, the attempt failed. Happy Hippo has contributed to the cause in many ways, such as, but not limited to: 1) Regularly donating to the AKA in the fight to ensure kratom remains legal (the most recent donation consisting of $55,000). 2) Hiring a Washington DC Public Relations firm to undo the stigmatization perpetrated by the mainstream media. 3) Screening a documentary titled, A Leaf of Faith, with the intention of educating officials in the Idaho Legislature.
From pesticide-free powder to capsules and extracts, Happy Hippo offers a large selection of kratom products that are sure to meet your standards, as they have been reviewed by thousands of verified buyers. The powder is also free from additives and fillers. Although you may find Happy Hippo a bit more on the pricey side, remember that you get what you pay for. Happy Hippo goes far and beyond via health and safety protocols which require time and resources. Hence, the higher than average price tags.
Happy Hippo’s potent kratom powder is AKA GMP certified, sterilized, and third-party lab-tested for salmonella, E.coli, and heavy metals. You’ll find the powder in variations of:
Each variation comes in a USDA-compliant and food-grade pouch which is also resealable.
Just like powder, Happy Hippo kratom capsules are AKA GMP certified, sterilized, and third-party lab-tested for salmonella, E.coli, and heavy metals. Happy Hippo capsules are basically another form of using powder without tolerating its extremely bitter flavor. Each capsule contains ½ gram of kratom powder, or half a scoop. Two capsules contain one gram of kratom powder, or one scoop. The capsules are made out of vegan material and do not contain any gelatin. Quantities include:
Happy Hippo kratom (like all kratom in general) is legal in the US, but only under federal law. If you happen to reside in a jurisdiction where kratom has been outlawed, kratom companies are not legally allowed to ship kratom procuts to you. The following six states have banned the use, possession, and sale of kratom:
