WHAT IS 7-OHM? (7-HYDROXYMITRAGYNINE)
7-Hydroxymitragynine is a terpenoid indole alkaloid from the plant Mitragyna speciosa, commonly known as Kratom. It is often referred to as ‘7-OHM’. It was first described in 1994 and is a natural product derived from the mitragynine present in the Kratom leaf. It is considered an oxidized derivative and active metabolite of mitragynine. 7-OHM binds to opioid receptors like mitragynine, but research suggests that 7-OHM binds with greater potency and contributes heavily to the analgesic activity of mitragynine as a metabolite.
