CBD Kratom does not carry or endorse any products made with added, isolated, synthetic, or highly concentrated 7-OH. We only carry full-spectrum, natural kratom leaf products, and we support responsible regulation, such as the Kratom Consumer Protection Act, that protects consumers, prohibits sales to minors, and preserves access to natural kratom for adults.
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.
Our Position on 7-OH and Natural Kratom
CBD Kratom does not carry or endorse products made with added, isolated, synthetic, or highly concentrated 7-OH.
While 7-OH can occur naturally in the kratom plant in very small amounts, we believe there is an important difference between natural, full-spectrum kratom products and products made with added or concentrated 7-OH.
CBD Kratom and MNG Brands support responsible regulation that protects consumers, prohibits sales to minors, and preserves access to natural kratom leaf products for adults.
We support regulatory frameworks, such as the Kratom Consumer Protection Act, that create clear standards for testing, labeling, manufacturing, age-gated access, and marketplace accountability.
For us, this is not about avoiding regulation. It is about getting regulation right.
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 is 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 concentrated 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 is responsible for the majority of kratom's potential effects, like energy, focus, or relaxation, depending on the strain and how it is 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. Learn more about the differences between kratom and 7-OH.
Natural Kratom Is Not the Same as Synthetic or Concentrated 7-OH
Natural kratom leaf products contain a broad spectrum of naturally occurring alkaloids, including very small amounts of 7-OH.
Products made with added, isolated, synthetic, or highly concentrated 7-OH are different. They may deliver elevated levels of one compound and may not reflect the natural balance of the kratom plant.
Full spectrum of more than 40 alkaloids. Trace amounts of 7-OH within the plant's natural balance. Traditionally used for centuries. Powder, capsule, tea, or extract.
Isolated or synthetically modified single compound at elevated levels far beyond what occurs in nature. Often found in tablets, shots, and gummies.
That distinction matters for consumers, retailers, regulators, and the future of the kratom industry. CBD Kratom believes regulation should clearly distinguish natural kratom leaf products from synthetic or highly concentrated 7-OH products.
Proud Member of the American Kratom Association
CBD Kratom is a member of the American Kratom Association (AKA). Our membership reflects our commitment to consumer safety, transparent practices, and advocacy for responsible kratom regulation. We stand with the AKA in protecting access to safe, high-quality kratom while upholding industry standards that put people first.
Why We Support the Kratom Consumer Protection Act
CBD Kratom and MNG Brands support regulatory efforts such as the Kratom Consumer Protection Act because they create a practical path forward for the kratom industry.
The right regulatory framework should:
- Protect consumers
- Prohibit sales to minors
- Require product testing
- Require accurate labeling
- Create manufacturing standards
- Hold brands and retailers accountable
- Preserve adult access to natural kratom
- Remove synthetic 7-OH from the market
Responsible regulation is not a threat to responsible businesses. It is how the kratom industry moves forward with more trust, more transparency, and stronger consumer protection.
Our Commitment to Safety and Quality
We stand by a simple principle: kratom should work with your body, not against it. That is why we only craft full-spectrum kratom products that maintain the plant's natural integrity. Every product we offer is:
- Full-spectrum and balanced, with 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 are consuming, and why it matters. By choosing full-spectrum kratom, you are choosing a product that has stood the test of time and aligns with safer, more sustainable use.
Nico Tortorella on Kratom, Wellness, and Regulation
CBD Kratom and MNG Brands believe education is a critical part of responsible kratom access.
Nico Tortorella, actor, creator, and co-creator of DER Kratom Brewski with Korthals' Collection, is passionate about conversations around kratom, wellness, sobriety, and intentional consumption. As national attention around kratom continues, Nico is available to speak about responsible kratom education, consumer protection, and the importance of thoughtful regulation.
This conversation needs more clarity, not more confusion. That means being honest about the difference between natural kratom leaf products and synthetic or highly concentrated 7-OH products, while supporting standards that protect consumers and preserve responsible adult access.
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 is why we choose the safer, time-tested path: full-spectrum kratom that supports your wellness with honesty, balance, and care.
CBD Kratom and MNG Brands support responsible kratom regulation, including frameworks like the Kratom Consumer Protection Act, that protect consumers, prohibit sales to minors, create accountability, and preserve access to natural kratom leaf products for adults. We believe synthetic or highly concentrated 7-OH products should be treated differently from natural kratom products. For us, this is not about avoiding regulation. It is about getting regulation right.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does CBD Kratom sell concentrated or synthetic 7-OH products?
No. CBD Kratom does not carry or endorse any products made with added, isolated, synthetic, or highly concentrated 7-OH. We only carry full-spectrum, natural kratom leaf products.
What is the difference between natural kratom and concentrated 7-OH?
Natural kratom leaf contains a broad spectrum of more than 40 alkaloids, with only trace amounts of 7-OH occurring naturally in the plant. Concentrated or synthetic 7-OH products isolate and amplify that single compound far beyond what occurs in nature, which is why federal regulators and the American Kratom Association have called for them to be treated differently.
What is the Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA)?
The Kratom Consumer Protection Act is model legislation developed by the American Kratom Association. Rather than prohibiting kratom, it creates state-level standards for product testing, accurate labeling, age-gated access (typically 21+), manufacturing requirements, and prohibitions on adulterated or synthetic alkaloid products. More than a dozen states have adopted a version of the KCPA.
Is natural kratom leaf legal in the United States?
At the federal level, natural kratom leaf is not classified as a controlled substance. State laws vary, and a growing number of states have adopted Kratom Consumer Protection Acts to regulate access rather than prohibit it. Always check the current rules in your state before purchasing.
Why does CBD Kratom support kratom regulation?
Responsible regulation protects consumers, prohibits sales to minors, requires testing and accurate labeling, and creates accountability across the industry. We believe regulation done right preserves access to natural kratom leaf products for adults while removing concerning synthetic or highly concentrated 7-OH products from the marketplace.
How can I tell if a kratom product is full-spectrum or contains added 7-OH?
Look at the label and the lab results. Full-spectrum kratom products list mitragynine and the natural alkaloid profile of the leaf. Products with added or concentrated 7-OH typically advertise elevated 7-OH content on the front of the package, often in tablets, shots, or gummies. When in doubt, ask a CBD Kratom Doyen for help.
