- 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) is a naturally occurring alkaloid found in the leaves of Mitragyna speciosa, a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia commonly known as kratom. It is considered one of the plant’s most potent active compounds and plays a significant role in its overall effect profile.
- 7-OH is legal in most European countries, but its status can differ depending on jurisdiction. In certain regions it may be regulated or prohibited, while in others it remains unclassified. As a customer, it is your responsibility to check the laws in your country and ensure compliance before making a purchase.
- Naturally occurring levels of 7-OH in kratom leaves are typically very low, usually less than 2%. The exact concentration can vary depending on factors such as strain, plant maturity, growing region, and post-harvest processing.
- Both Mitragynine and 7-Hydroxymitragynine are alkaloids found in Mitragyna speciosa. However, 7-OH is considered to be significantly more potent in terms of receptor activity. While Mitragynine is more abundant in the plant, 7-OH is often associated with a more pronounced effect profile and is sometimes described by users as offering a “cleaner” experience at lower doses compared to high doses of Mitragynine.
