Industry Research Update: New Study Bolsters Kratom's Therapeutic Narrative for Alcohol Reduction

A recent study from University of Houston researchers found that a combination of mitragynine and naltrexone significantly decreased alcohol use in rats, outperforming either substance alone. This research, while preliminary and from animal studies, contributes to a growing body of evidence suggesting kratom's potential therapeutic applications.

• A recent study in rats suggests a combination of mitragynine and naltrexone significantly reduces alcohol consumption, more so than either substance alone, potentially opening new avenues for therapeutic applications.
• This research, alongside previous human and animal studies, reinforces the growing scientific interest in kratom's potential benefits, positively influencing public perception and advocacy efforts for the industry.
• The study implicitly highlights the ongoing challenges for scientific research into kratom due to its Schedule I classification in some jurisdictions, underscoring the need for regulatory reform to facilitate further investigation. Source: Kratom Science via Sentinel Newsroom
