Kratom refers to the dried and ground leaves of the Mitragyna speciosa tree. Kratom leaf naturally contains a wide range of plant compounds, including multiple alkaloids, with mitragynine being the most abundant. The composition of kratom leaf can vary based on factors such as plant maturity, growing conditions, and post-harvest processing.

7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) is a specific alkaloid that occurs naturally in kratom leaf in very small amounts. In some products, 7-OH may be isolated, concentrated, or synthesized to achieve a defined and consistent composition. Unlike whole kratom leaf, products containing 7-OH are not botanical powders and do not contain the full spectrum of compounds found in the plant.

Key Distinctions (Non-Comparative, Non-Claims)

• Kratom is a whole-leaf botanical material

• 7-OH is a single, isolated alkaloid

• Kratom products vary naturally in composition

• 7-OH products are typically standardized by design

• Kratom contains many alkaloids; 7-OH products focus on one identified compound
