We could have sold 7-OH. We chose safety instead. In this video, Christopher Deaney of Christopher’s Organic Botanicals explains why our company does not sell 7-OH products and why we believe consumers deserve a clear distinction between natural kratom leaf and commercial 7-OH products. Commercial 7-OH is often marketed as “new and improved kratom” or just another kratom extract, but that is misleading. Natural kratom leaf contains only tiny trace amounts of 7-hydroxymitragynine. There is not enough naturally occurring 7-OH in the leaf to create the commercial 7-OH products being sold across the country. That distinction matters. Since 2021, we received calls from people asking about enhanced 7-OH products. By 2024, the calls changed. Consumers were confused, upset, and some felt they had been duped into thinking 7-OH was simply another form of kratom. In nearly 10 years of working with natural kratom, we have never seen that same pattern of issues with plain leaf kratom. Christopher’s Organic Botanicals was built around natural kratom leaf, traditional use, third-party testing, transparency, responsible education, and consumer safety. We fought to keep kratom legal in 2016, including standing in Washington, D.C., sharing kratom tea and personal stories about the plant. This is not about attacking responsible extracts. Some people cannot digest raw leaf powder, and responsibly made extracts or brewed and strained kratom tea can serve a purpose. This is about drawing a clear safety line between natural kratom leaf and commercial 7-OH products being marketed under the kratom name. We are sticking with the leaf. Natural kratom.Traditional use.Testing.Transparency.Consumer safety. That is the line in the sand, and we are not moving it.
