Important Disclaimer

At CBD Kratom, we do not carry or endorse any products that contain added or isolated 7‑OH (7‑hydroxymitragynine). While 7‑OH is a natural metabolite found in kratom, we only offer full-spectrum, natural kratom products.

Reinforcing the Safety of Full-Spectrum Kratom

At CBD Kratom, we believe in respecting kratom as it has been used for centuries: full-spectrum, balanced, and trusted. That’s why we only carry products that maintain the integrity of the whole leaf, whether in powder, capsule, tea, or extract form.

Why It Matters

Products made with synthesized or enhanced compounds, like 7-OH, carry higher risks, including adverse effects and increased potential for misuse. They are fundamentally different from traditional full-spectrum kratom, which has been used safely for generations and continues to be trusted by millions of people today.

Kratom 101: Nature’s Alkaloid Blend

Kratom comes from the leaves of the Mitragyna speciosa tree, traditionally grown and harvested in Southeast Asia. These leaves are naturally packed with over 40 compounds known as alkaloids. The most abundant one is called mitragynine, and it's responsible for the majority of kratom’s potential effects—like energy, focus, or relaxation—depending on the strain and how it’s used.

What Is 7-OH?

7-hydroxymitragynine, or 7-OH, is a naturally occurring compound in kratom, but only in small amounts. Most of the 7-OH your body experiences is created naturally during digestion, when mitragynine (kratom’s primary alkaloid) is metabolized.

Some products on the market artificially enhance kratom with highly concentrated or synthetic 7-OH. These shortcuts bypass the natural process your body relies on, producing a stronger but less predictable effect

Our Commitment to Safety and Quality

We stand by a simple principle: kratom should work with your body, not against it. That’s why we only craft full-spectrum kratom products that maintain the plant’s natural integrity.

Every product we offer is:

  • Full-spectrum and balanced, no synthetics

  • Lab-tested for safety and purity

  • Backed by transparency and education

As proud members of the American Kratom Association (AKA), we support responsible regulation, consumer protection, and industry standards that put safety first.

Educating and Empowering Consumers

There is a lot of misinformation about kratom, and not all products are equal. Our role is to give you clarity. We believe you deserve to know what you’re consuming, and why it matters. By choosing full-spectrum kratom, you’re choosing a product that has stood the test of time and aligns with safer, more sustainable use.

The Bottom Line

At CBD Kratom, we believe in keeping kratom true to its roots. While 7-OH is part of kratom’s natural story, it should never be isolated, concentrated, or used to cut corners. That’s why we choose the safer, time-tested path: full-spectrum kratom that supports your wellness with honesty, balance, and care.
