WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Holistic Alternative Recovery Trust (HART) today released the following statement from Jeff Smith, Executive Director, in response to President Trump’s statement on getting natural 7-OH FDA approved:
“President Trump said his administration is trying to keep ‘natural 7-OH’ available. That distinction matters, and it is the same distinction lawmakers and regulators should be moving forward. Policymakers should focus on stopping bad actors, mislabeled products, unsafe marketing practices, and inconsistent manufacturing standards, not criminalizing naturally derived products that millions of Americans already use.
“A blanket ban on natural 7-OH is now directly at odds with the President’s stated goal. The FDA should support the direction set by the President and work toward a regulatory framework that protects consumers without eliminating lawful access to natural products.”
HART continues to advocate for a commonsense regulatory framework for kratom and its naturally occurring compounds, including 7-OH, focused on:
- Age restrictions
- Clear labeling and dosing standards
- Third-party testing and manufacturing controls
- Consumer transparency
