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.
