Some of these souped-up products contain 109% to 509% more 7-OH than what\u2019s naturally in the plant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nAccording to preliminary data from the Ohio Department of Health, kratom was found to be a cause of death in more than 200 unintentional overdose deaths in Ohio from 2019 to 2024. St. Charles County and Kansas City are among the half-dozen other places in Missouri that have approved restrictions and regulations on kratom. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has advised people not to take them because they can be addictive and lead to health problems including death. “Vape stores are popping up in every neighborhood in America, and many are selling addictive products like concentrated 7-OH,” Makary warned.<\/p>\n

The substance, which is considered a "synthetic opioid," has been bottled into drinks, powders and tablets that are sold at vape shops, gas stations and other stores across the country. The concentrated byproduct has been linked to opioid receptors in the body, triggering the potential for abuse and various drug-related symptoms. Based on these findings, experts are calling for closer monitoring of kratom products and increased public education.<\/p>\n
When someone takes a substance for an extended period, it causes a change in specific receptors. Withdrawals are the symptoms that appear when someone is dependent on a substance and stops using it. If you find a brand that’s making claims without evidence, it’s likely a scam.
