21+ only. Kratom isn't FDA-approved for any use and is banned in some states and cities; see our state guide. This page compares vendors; it isn't medical advice. We did not buy or test products.
Borneo is the island shared by Indonesia (Kalimantan), Malaysia and Brunei. On a kratom label it's a regional name, not a separate species: all of it is Mitragyna speciosa. Kraken Kratom says its red Borneo is "harvested from wild Kratom trees in the Kalimantan region of Indonesia" (kilo page). "Red" is the vein label vendors assign to leaf picked at full maturity. Golden Monk markets its red Borneo as "soothing" and Super Speciosa as a relaxation strain; that's marketing language, effects aren't established, and the FDA hasn't approved kratom for any use. Background: kratom strains explained.

Kraken Kratom review · Visit Kraken Kratom
Powder from $19.99 (100g) to 5 kg, and 500mg capsules from $16 (60 count). The page lists a 1.0%+ minimum mitragynine and names Cora Science as its ISO 17025 lab; batches can be looked up by QR code. It isn't on the AKA's current GMP list.
Super Speciosa review · Visit Super Speciosa
250g ($54.99, $2.20 per 10g) to 1 kg ($1.60 per 10g), plus 350, 700 and 1,500-count capsules of about 600mg. Kona describes it as lab tested, but we found no public COA.
Kona Kratom review · Visit Kona Kratom
Six sizes from 28g ($7.99) to 1 kg ($164.99), all in stock. The page says its raw powders "test at an average of >1.5% mitragynine" and lists its test panel (heavy metals and microbial), but we found no batch COAs to check.

FAQ
On September 28, 2026, we confirmed plain-leaf red Borneo at Happy Hippo (Super Red Borneo), Kraken Kratom, Super Speciosa, Kona Kratom and Left Coast Kratom. Golden Monk had red Borneo capsules, but its red Borneo powder was out of stock.
Not as a standard catalog product we could price. Kats has a Red Borneo page listed as a 60% red, 40% green blend with a price range of '$0.00 – $49.99', and a capsule page without a price. Its Red Maeng Da is listed as 60% red vein (Borneo) and 40% white vein.
Of one-time prices we checked, Super Speciosa's 1 kg bag at $139.99 (about 14 cents per gram) was lowest, followed by Kona's 1 kg at $1.60 per 10g and Left Coast's $164.99 kilo. For small bags, Kraken and Left Coast both had 28g for $7.99.
Vendors say so, but you can't verify it from the bag. Kraken Kratom says its red Borneo is harvested in the Kalimantan region of Indonesia, the Indonesian part of Borneo. Compare batch lab reports rather than origin names.
