What is Kratom and Why Should I Care?

According to AmericanKratom.org:

"Natural kratom comes from the mitragyna speciosa, a tropical evergreen tree in the coffee family native to Southeast Asia whose leaves have been used for centuries as an herbal supplement in traditional medicines.
Kratom is not a drug. Kratom is not an opiate. Kratom is not a synthetic substance. Naturally occurring Kratom is a safe herbal supplement that behaves as a partial mu-opioid receptor agonist ... Kratom contains no opiates, but it does bind to the same receptor sites in the brain. Chocolate, coffee, exercise and even human breast milk hit these receptor sites in a similar fashion." (

7OH is NOT Kratom. Read what the FDA is doing to protect Pure Leaf Kratom

There’s growing confusion in the marketplace between natural kratom leaf and synthetic or concentrated 7‑hydroxymitragynine (7‑OH) products. While some 7‑OH items are marketed as “natural kratom,” they are not the same — and they present significant risks.
Natural kratom comes from the Mitragyna speciosa tree, whose crushed or powdered leaves contain only trace, naturally occurring levels of 7‑OH. These levels are part of the plant’s natural balance and have been safely used for centuries.
By contrast, “enhanced” or “spiked” kratom extracts can contain up to 500 % more 7‑OH than would ever be found naturally. That’s a major difference — especially since 7‑OH is roughly 13 times more potent than morphine. These concentrated products may look like natural leaf powder but are chemically altered and far more powerful.
For consumers who value transparency and safety, understanding this distinction matters. Natural kratom is not a synthetic drug — it’s a botanical. But synthetic 7‑OH products are a different story.
