Pseudo

When you see “Pseudo” on a kratom label, it’s usually referring to Mitragynine pseudoindoxyl – a rare, lab-created version of mitragynine, one of kratom’s primary alkaloids. It’s not typically found in raw kratom leaves, but many brands convert mitragynine into this form for a different experience. Since “Mitragynine pseudoindoxyl” is a mouthful, most people just call it “Pseudo.”

Not really. While kratom leaves naturally contain mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine, Mitragynine pseudoindoxyl isn’t typically present in raw plant material. It’s created through a chemical transformation process, which is why you’ll only find it in select, specialty kratom products.

Most Pseudo products come in tablet or extract form. These are usually designed for convenience and consistency, with pre-measured servings. You’ll often find them in blends or branded collections that focus specifically on enhanced alkaloid content.

There’s been growing interest in alkaloid-specific kratom formulations, and Pseudo has been getting attention because it’s different from traditional strains. Brands are spotlighting it in new tablets and extracts as a way to offer something beyond the usual powders and capsules.

Most brands will list it directly on the label or product page – sometimes as “Mitragynine pseudoindoxyl,” and sometimes just as “Pseudo.” If you’re ever unsure, check the description or reach out to the vendor. It’s a niche ingredient, so it’s usually clearly marked when it’s in a formula.

The legality of products containing Mitragynine pseudoindoxyl varies by region. It’s essential to familiarize yourself with local laws and regulations before purchasing or using such products.
