Traveling with plant-based wellness products can be confusing, especially when they contain potent natural compounds like 7-hydroxymitragynine. Many Real Botanicals users ask one key question before a trip: Can you take 7OH on a plane without running into problems with airport security or customs? The short answer is yes – within specific limits and with a clear understanding of legality, packaging, and destination rules.
7-hydroxymitragynine (often shortened to 7OH) is a naturally occurring alkaloid found in the kratom plant, Mitragyna speciosa. It’s a concentrated, fast-acting botanical compound formulated by Real Botanicals for experienced users seeking precise, targeted mood support. Because it’s derived from kratom, air-travel regulations follow the same federal and state guidelines that apply to kratom products in the United States.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) does not list kratom or 7OH as prohibited under federal aviation security policy, meaning you can carry small, personal-use amounts in your luggage if local laws allow.
Still, kratom laws can vary from state to state and country to country (see more: Is Kratom Legal in the U.S.?). Some regions ban kratom outright; others allow it under age or labeling restrictions. Understanding these nuances keeps your trip smooth and your products safe. This guide explains how to pack, declare, and travel responsibly with Real Botanicals 7-OH shots or tablets while staying compliant with all current regulations.
Can You Take 7OH on a Plane?
Yes, you can usually fly domestically within the United States with 7-hydroxymitragynine products if they are legal at both your departure and arrival locations. The TSA confirms that kratom is not a controlled substance under federal law. That means security agents do not specifically screen for or confiscate it. However, airport screening staff may refer any unfamiliar powder or liquid to local law enforcement if questions arise, so your packaging and presentation matter.
For details specifically on traveling with kratom, see our user guide to TSA, packing, and legal tips.
Travelers should carry 7OH in its original sealed container with a clear ingredient label and manufacturer information. Liquid kratom products must follow the 3.4-ounce (100-milliliter) carry-on rule set by the TSA. Solid tablets or kratom capsules can remain in hand luggage without restriction. To avoid confusion, pack documentation such as a purchase receipt or product information sheet that identifies the contents as botanical, not pharmaceutical.
While 7OH is legal at the federal level, several U.S. states restrict or ban kratom alkaloids, including Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Vermont, and Wisconsin. Counties such as Sarasota County (Florida) and cities like San Diego (California) have local prohibitions. If your itinerary includes one of these regions, it’s safest to leave 7OH at home or ship it legally within state lines before travel.

Fact: The U.S. FDA has not approved kratom or 7-hydroxymitragynine for medical use, but federal law does not classify it as a controlled substance. That means TSA can allow transport while each state retains the power to regulate possession.
Keep your 7OH sealed, labeled, and stored with other supplements. A polite, transparent approach is usually the fastest way through security when questioned.
Flying Domestically with 7-Hydroxymitragynine
Domestic air travel follows a patchwork of state-level regulations. While federal policy allows passengers to possess kratom products, state laws take precedence once you land. Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Vermont, and Wisconsin currently list kratom alkaloids as controlled substances. At the same time, states such as Florida (see is kratom legal in Florida) and California regulate certain counties or cities individually.
Before departure, check both the origin and destination laws using reliable public sources or your airline’s customer service line. Carry printed product information and keep serving sizes within reasonable personal-use limits – typically under one week’s supply. Always pack your 7OH products separately from other dietary items to prevent accidental spillage or odor transfer.
For extra peace of mind, Real Botanicals users often store liquid 7OH shots in a transparent, resealable pouch with other toiletries. Keeping your items visible and well-organized reduces inspection time and minimizes the risk of confiscation.
Fact: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends labeling all supplements during travel to help identify unfamiliar substances if a screening occurs. This simple step can prevent unnecessary delays.
When flying within the U.S., confidence comes from preparation. Knowing which states have restrictions and packaging your products clearly keeps your trip compliant and stress-free.
International Travel with Kratom or 7OH
International laws on kratom and its alkaloids vary widely. Many countries, including Australia, Denmark, Japan, Malaysia, and the United Kingdom, classify kratom or 7-hydroxymitragynine as controlled substances. Even trace amounts in a traveler’s bag can trigger legal complications.
If you’re leaving the United States, the safest choice is not to bring any 7OH products abroad. Customs authorities in several nations test incoming botanical extracts for alkaloid content.
Travelers who ignore these restrictions risk having their goods seized, fines, or being denied entry. Instead, plan your wellness routine around your destination’s legal supplements or buy Real Botanicals products once you return home. Keep in mind that even stopover airports can enforce their own import rules, meaning a single layover could put you in violation.
Fact: The U.S. Department of State lists kratom as restricted or illegal in over 30 countries worldwide. That makes international travel with 7OH products unpredictable at best.
For global trips, focus on relaxation methods that travel easily: hydration, mindfulness exercises, or kava-based beverages once you arrive in a legal market. Staying informed protects both your wellness routine and your freedom to travel.
TSA, Safety, and Responsible Use
Carrying plant-based extracts like 7-hydroxymitragynine through security is legal in most situations, but responsible storage and transparency help ensure smooth passage. Keep your Real Botanicals products in clearly labeled bottles with tamper-evident seals. If you’re transporting liquid 7OH shots, store them in a one-quart resealable plastic bag per TSA guidelines.
During the flight, avoid combining 7OH with alcohol, sedatives, or prescription medications that affect the nervous system. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) notes that kratom alkaloids interact with several metabolic enzymes, so moderation and spacing from other supplements reduce unwanted effects.
Real Botanicals products are third-party tested for purity and manufactured in certified U.S. facilities. Each batch is analyzed for alkaloid content, ensuring consistency and transparency that meet all domestic compliance standards. These safeguards protect both users and airport staff from uncertainty around what’s inside each bottle.
Fact: According to the Food and Drug Administration, any supplement carried on a plane should remain in its original packaging with a legible label to meet safety regulations under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act.
Travel with mindfulness: pack light, stay hydrated, and know exactly what’s in your carry-on. That’s the Real Botanicals way – safety, clarity, and respect for the rules that keep everyone moving.
