Kratom leaves contain multiple active alkaloids, including mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine.
The body can also convert some mitragynine into 7-OH. Because these compounds influence opioid-related pathways, concentrated 7-OH should not be treated as interchangeable with an ordinary botanical product. Its label or place of purchase does not tell you how it will affect you. Paying attention to sedation, increasing use, and loss of control can help identify when professional care has value.
