Will kratom show up in a drug test?

Annswer: Not on standard tests, but it can be found if they look for it.

Standard tests vs. targeted tests

• Routine workplace/clinical urine screens (5-, 10-, 12-panel) do not test for kratom’s alkaloids (mitragynine/7-hydroxymitragynine), so kratom typically won’t show up.
• Targeted tests exist and are increasingly available (e.g., LC-MS/MS panels used by some pain clinics, probation/courts, forensic labs, or when specifically ordered). Those will detect kratom.

Other notes

• Kratom usually does not cause a false positive for opioids on standard immunoassays.
• Adulterated products or co-use with other substances can trigger positives for other drugs.
• If you’re concerned, ask the tester exactly which substances are included in their panel or whether they test for mitragynine.
