FDA Warns of Dangerous Drug Sold in Stores Nationwide
- The FDA has issued a nationwide warning about 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), an opioid substance found in some products available in gas stations and convenience stores across the U.S.
- 7-OH binds strongly to opioid receptors and has been shown to be more potent than morphine, yet it is unregulated, lacks approved medical use, and is often sold without proper safety labeling
- Many 7-OH products are disguised as energy shots or wellness aids, often with bright packaging that looks like candy or juice. This makes them easy to grab, especially for young consumers, and they're frequently marketed with false claims for pain, anxiety, or mood support
- Most 7-OH products sold in the U.S. are lab-altered or highly processed, delivering doses far beyond what's found in natural kratom leaves and carrying a much greater risk of dependence and harm
- If you've used 7-OH products, tapering gradually, supporting your body with movement, nutrition, and professional guidance helps reduce withdrawal symptoms and support a safe recovery process
