Initial research suggests 7-OH is safe. So why the opposition to it?
A new nonprofit, the Global Kratom Coalition (GKC), has launched a highly funded campaign to restrict Floridians’ access to 7-Hydroxymitragynine, also known as 7-OH.
This echoes efforts by GKC to ban the product in Texas, Arizona and Tennessee, and an unsuccessful legislative attempt (AB 2365) in California.
Consumers familiar with 7-OH might find this bizarre: Research into 7-OH has shown this alkaloid from the kratom plant to have a strong safety profile and effective pain relief potential to make it a promising alternative to traditional opioids.
