@catherinej, Kratom has been discussed here in the past. There are many reasons why it is not FDA approved, not least among them that as an unregulated substance, usually imported and with no standardized testing, the customer has no idea what they are buying in terms of strength or purity.
Although it is technically legal in the US, due to concerns about addiction and abuse many states are taking steps to ban or regulate Kratom. Here is the latest opinion from Mayo Clinic with many references to other studies and sources:
