Health Canada is advising Canadians that it has seized unauthorized “Jupiter” and “Kratom Zone” kratom products from two retail stores in Edmonton, AB. Kratom may pose serious health risks when swallowed or inhaled. Health Canada has not authorized any product containing kratom for sale. It is illegal to sell any health products in Canada without authorization from Health Canada. The Department advises consumers not to swallow or inhale products labeled to contain kratom because of the potential side effects, including liver and heart problems.
