Excerpt:
7-OH comes from Kratom leaves. It’s an herbal substance, capable of producing sedative or stimulant effects. Kratom — in general — is increasingly used for treating chronic pain, according to researchers.

National Policy Director for the Holistic Alternative Recovery Trust (HART) Dr. Jeff Smith listed three reasons he’s comfortable with the use of 7-OH:

1. 7-OH has no lasting negative impact even at high doses.
2. There have been more than 500 million doses taken over the last two years and only five adverse effects have been reported.
3. People who’ve used it say it has helped them manage chronic pain.
