The kratom tree, Latin name Mitragyna speciosa, is part of the coffee family and is grows natively across Southeast Asia. A hallmark of this family of plants is the presence of special chemical compounds, called alkaloids. These species contain numerous alkaloids, the most well known of which are caffeine in coffee and mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine in kratom.
