At Zuma Chews, there is nothing more important than transparency and providing our customers with the highest quality energy gummies. That’s why we’re passionate about sharing the story behind our key ingredient: Mitragyna Speciosa. You might be enjoying the invigorating boost from our gummies, but have you ever wondered where this remarkable botanical originates? Let’s embark on a journey to the lush, tropical landscapes where Mitragyna Speciosa thrives. 

A Native of Southeast Asia’s Heart 

Mitragyna Speciosa is a tropical evergreen tree belonging to the Rubiaceae family – the same family that graces us with coffee. This botanical treasure is indigenous to the vibrant and diverse ecosystems of Southeast Asia. Specifically, it flourishes in countries like Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Papua New Guinea. 

Imagine dense, humid jungles where towering Mitragyna Speciosa trees reach for the sunlight. These trees can grow quite tall, sometimes exceeding 80 feet, showcasing their robust nature. The leaves, which are the source of the extracts used in Zuma Chews, are typically dark green and glossy, reflecting the region’s abundant rainfall and warmth. 

The Traditional Harvest 

For centuries, the indigenous populations of these regions have recognized the unique properties of Mitragyna Speciosa. They have traditionally harvested the leaves, often chewing them or brewing them into teas, for various purposes. This deep-rooted connection to the plant reflects a long history of understanding and respect for its potential benefits. 

The harvesting process is often meticulous and requires local knowledge. Skilled harvesters carefully select mature leaves, ensuring the sustainability of the trees and the continued availability of this valuable resource. This traditional approach underscores the importance of respecting the plant’s origins and the communities that have nurtured it for generations. 

From Tropical Extracts to American-Made Gummies 

While Mitragyna Speciosa is native to Southeast Asia, Zuma Chews are proudly manufactured here in the good ole U.S. of A.

These extracts are carefully processed to ensure purity and potency, allowing us to create our signature energy gummies.
