If you’ve browsed the shelves at 8 Oasis, you may have spotted products like Opia, 7Tabz, Hydroxie, or Rox labeled with 7-OH or “Enhanced Kratom.” But what exactly is 7-OH—and how does it differ from standard kratom?
In this blog post, we’ll explore what 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) is, what “pseudo” compounds actually mean, and provide you with trusted resources so you can make informed choices about what’s right for you.
🌿 What Is 7-OH (7-hydroxymitragynine)?
7-hydroxymitragynine, commonly referred to as 7-OH, is a naturally occurring alkaloid in the kratom plant (Mitragyna speciosa). Though it’s found in much smaller amounts than mitragynine (the primary alkaloid), it plays a much bigger role in the plant’s effects—especially its pain-relieving and mood-boosting properties.
🧠 Research shows that 7-OH binds more strongly to opioid receptors than mitragynine—making it one of the key drivers behind kratom’s mood-elevating and relaxing effects.
🧬 What Does “Pseudo” Mean in 7OH Products?
The word “pseudo” in enhanced kratom products refers to compounds like mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, a refined version of 7-OH. They’re naturally derived, lab-refined alkaloids created to deliver targeted effects with a smoother profile.
These compounds are currently being explored by researchers for their potential role in managing pain, stress, and receptor tolerance.

⚖️ How Do These Compare to Regular Kratom?
Feature | Traditional Kratom | 7-OH / Pseudo Products |
Main Alkaloid | Mitragynine | 7-hydroxymitragynine & pseudo |
Potency | Mild to moderate | High to very high |
Onset | Gradual | Fast-acting |
Duration | Longer & smooth | Shorter & concentrated |
Best For | Daily or mild relief | Occasional, targeted support |
⚠️ Use Responsibly
Products containing 7-OH or pseudo-enhanced alkaloids are typically much stronger than traditional kratom powders. They’re best suited for experienced users who understand their body’s response and wish to explore more advanced options.
🧪 Please note: 7-OH and pseudo-alkaloid kratom products are part of an emerging and largely unregulated market. Because these products are not currently evaluated or approved by the FDA, consumers are strongly encouraged to:
Do their own research using trustworthy, science-based resources
Speak with a licensed medical professional before use—especially if they have existing health conditions or are taking any medications
Follow all label instructions carefully and use in moderation
