Excerpt:
In a recent letter to The Star (July 6, 18A), David Bregger spoke out against 7-OH, a natural compound in kratom used to manage pain. He suggested it might have played a role in his son’s death.
What happened to the Bregger family is every parent’s worst nightmare. No parent should ever experience that loss.
We believe honoring their grief means being clear about the facts, because a safer option for people in pain is at stake unnecessarily.
7-OH wasn’t in the product Daniel Bregger took. It wasn’t on the market in 2021. Reports say he died after taking a mislabeled kratom product with high-mitragynine, common in products promoted by the American Kratom Association and Global Kratom Coalition.
