Are Kratom and 7-OH the Same Thing?

This is one of the most common questions from new buyers. Short answer: no. Kratom is the plant; 7-OH is one of its alkaloids. Here is a fuller explanation.

The plant

Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a tree. The leaf contains dozens of alkaloids, fiber, water and other plant material.

The extract

7-OH is a specific alkaloid isolated from the leaf. Modern extracts deliver just the alkaloid, in a much more concentrated form.

The product

A 7-OH tablet contains a measured dose of the extract, blended with a flavor system, pressed into a chewable tablet. Browse the format.

What about MIT?

Mitragynine (MIT) is the most abundant alkaloid in raw leaf. Many products combine 7-OH and MIT for a more traditional profile โ€” see 7-OH + MIT blends.
