What Is 7-OH Kratom?


Kratom is a plant-based substance often marketed as a natural remedy for pain, anxiety, or opioid withdrawal. But not all kratom products are the same. One of the most potent compounds in kratom is 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH)—a powerful alkaloid with opioid-like effects. Many users are unaware of just how strong and addictive 7-OH kratom can be.


The Hidden Strength of 7-Hydroxymitragynine


7-OH kratom is a metabolite of mitragynine, but it's far more potent. Research shows that it can bind to opioid receptors in the brain with a strength comparable to morphine or even stronger in some cases. The effects can include:


  • Euphoria

  • Pain relief

  • Sedation

  • Physical dependence

  • Withdrawal symptoms similar to opioids


As kratom becomes more refined and concentrated in supplement form, products with higher levels of 7-OH are appearing, often without clear labeling. Patients report experiencing worsening withdrawal symptoms, increased tolerance, and difficulty stopping use.




Common Signs of Problematic Kratom Use


  • Needing more to get the same effect

  • Feeling unwell or anxious between doses

  • Insomnia, nausea, and tremors when attempting to quit

  • Using kratom to avoid withdrawal rather than for wellness


If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. At Harmony Medical Clinic, we are seeing a rise in patients seeking help for kratom use, especially products high in 7-OH.
