If you've browsed kratom or botanical products lately, you've probably seen the term 7-OH — short for 7-hydroxymitragynine. It's become one of the most talked-about names in the space, and this guide explains what it actually is in plain language, without the hype.
The basics
Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia. Its leaves naturally contain a range of compounds called alkaloids. The two most well-known are mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH). When you see a product marketed as "7-OH," it's referring to this specific alkaloid.
Product forms you'll see
7-OH and kratom products come in several common formats. The right one really comes down to personal preference and convenience:
- Tablets & chewables — pre-measured, portable, and the most popular format for consistency.
- Capsules — simple and mess-free.
- Shots & liquids — pre-mixed single servings.
- Powder — the traditional loose-leaf form.
What to look for when buying
Because this is a fast-growing category, quality and authenticity vary between sellers. A few things worth checking:
- Reputable brands. Established names like Jubi, Kama, Opia and OPMS have a track record and consistent packaging.
- Sealed, authentic packaging. Factory seals and batch labeling are a good sign the product is genuine.
- Clear labeling. The product form, count, and per-unit amount should be printed on the package.
- A seller that stands behind what they ship. Fast, discreet shipping and responsive support matter.
