7-OH tablets are coming on strong in the world of kratom. The most experienced users turn to premium 7-OH tablets for their strength and convenient form.
But what are 7 OH tablets? In short, 7-OH tablets are kratom tablets with a concentration of 7-hydroxymitragynine, or 7OH.
In short, 7-OH tablets are kratom tablets with a concentration of 7-hydroxymitragynine, or 7-OH. 7-OH does exist in trace amounts in regular kratom. But to increase the beneficial potential of a kratom product, more 7-OH may be added. Often, these are made in a splitable tablet form.
It's potency meets precision. It’s important to note that these are not for beginners. Beginners should opt for other kratom products for sale, like shots, capsules, or powders.
In this guide, we’ll walk through how 7-OH tablets are made, how they differ from traditional kratom products, and what to know before trying them. You’ll also find a buying checklist, a look at potency, and answers to common questions to help you shop smarter and safer.
Quick Answer: What Are 7-OH Tablets?
7-OH tablets are chewable or swallowable supplements with precise amounts of the 7-hydroxymitragynine alkaloid. Some manufacturers concentrate only on that compound, but others may be more full-spectrum. Above all else, it’s essential to always check the label—trusted 7-OH vendors will always be transparent with their ingredients and precise serving size suggestions.
Common strengths include 10mg, 20mg, and 40mg per tablet. With the right strength, an experienced kratom user can forego large powder servings for a small, concentrated dose. Unlike powders, the exact amounts of alkaloids are standardized, so you get the exact amount with each dose. The effects can feel much stronger than with raw kratom leaf.

Because 7-OH is significantly stronger than mitragynine, these tablets should be used with caution. Labels for responsibly made products will include instructions for careful dosing and use. Factor in your experience level and metabolism, but stay within the manufacturer's recommendations.

7-OH Tablets vs Mitragynine and Leaf Kratom
Kratom comes in many forms, but not all alkaloids are created equal. Mitragynine is the most abundant compound in leaf kratom, while 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) appears only in tiny amounts. Extracts and tablets concentrate these alkaloids, offering more predictable servings than raw powder.

How 7-OH Tablets Are Made
The production of kratom extract tablets is a multi-step process:
-
Extraction – Alkaloids are drawn from kratom leaf using methods such as solvent extraction, water-based techniques, or advanced chromatography.
-
Isolation – 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) is separated from other compounds. This step is crucial for accurately measuring a single alkaloid.
-
Standardization – The isolated 7-OH is carefully calibrated so each batch delivers the same strength. Without this step, tablets could vary in potency.
-
Tablet formation – The standardized 7-OH is blended with excipients and pressed into tablets. Each lot should undergo third-party lab testing to confirm potency and purity.
These steps ensure product quality. Poorly made products will cut corners, add fillers, or worse, adulterate the compounds in the lab. Adulterated alkaloids pose unpredictable risks for consumers. This is why it is crucial to read the Certificate of Analysis, which is typically posted on the manufacturer's website.
7-OH Tablet Potency & Dosing Guidelines
7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) is a potent alkaloid found in kratom. It has significantly higher potency than mitragynine, the primary alkaloid in kratom leaves.
Research indicates that 7-OH has a tenfold higher potency at the μ-opioid receptor compared to mitragynine. This increased potency means that even small amounts of 7-OH can produce effects comparable to larger quantities of traditional kratom powder.
For instance, a single 10 mg 7-OH tablet can produce effects similar to those of 3-4 grams of leaf powder, depending on the strain and batch. A 20 mg tablet could approximate 6-8 grams of leaf, and a 40 mg tablet is considered strong even for seasoned users. These equivalencies highlight the efficiency and potency of 7-OH tablets, making them a convenient alternative to traditional kratom forms.
Dosing Guidelines Based on Experience and Use Case
-
Beginners / First-Time 7-OH Users: Start with a single 5-10 mg tablet (or less) to assess individual sensitivity to 7-OH. Wait for an hour or two to gauge the dose and its effects adequately.
-
Moderate Users / Regular Kratom Consumers: Moderate kratom users may prefer 10–20 mg tablets for dosing precision over taking multiple grams of powder.
-
Advanced Users / High-Potency Extract Experience: Experienced users may prefer 20–40 mg tablets. Tablets can be split for a fine-tuned dose.

General Considerations for All Users
Regardless of experience level, it's important to take time between servings to observe effects. The key concept is to "start slow and let it grow" based on how your body responds.
Avoid combining 7-OH tablets with alcohol, sedatives, or other psychoactive substances—instead, take a look at our guide, “Non-Alcoholic Drinks That Give You a Buzz: Functional Beverages You’ll Love.” Monitor your reactions and serving amounts to fine-tune your approach. Stay within dosing guidelines for the best experience with 7-OH tablets. To avoid dependence, take regular breaks from using 7-OH or other high-alkaloid kratom products.

7-OH Tablets: Safety, Legality, and Responsible Use
7-OH has faced some legal battles due to its strength and safety profile. As with many therapeutic-level medications or supplements, there are adverse effects and risks. And if it is overused, 7-OH can cause dependency, another risk factor that gets the attention of lawmakers.
While efforts to ban 7-OH are underway in some states, it remains largely legal in the U.S., albeit unregulated. While this means the support is still available to you, due diligence is put in your hands as the consumer. See the latest 7-Hydroxymitragynine legality 2025.
Safety
There are two sides of the "safety" coin when it comes to 7-hydroxymitragynine. One: the vendor's responsibility to provide the safest kratom possible. And two: your responsibility to buy safely and use wisely.
With all botanicals, their area of origin can contribute to the presence of biological pathogens. Roots can absorb heavy metals from the soil. Leaves may have been sprayed with chemicals, which hitchhike their way into your health routine. We can either ingest all these things with reckless abandon, health risks to the wind, or we can buy tested products.
Lab testing is the quality assurance that detects Salmonella contamination in a batch of kratom. Or identifies a particular shipment as having levels of arsenic that are too high for human consumption.
So, when we say buy lab-tested kratom only (including 7-OH tablets), it’s for your safety. Good vendors also apply cGMP standards to ensure product cleanliness and standardized potencies.
The FDA has issued warning letters concerning kratom and its alkaloids, largely due to the safety issues we just covered. As a wise and educated kratom consumer, you should know every side, including the FDA's stance on kratom. Also see the DEA fact sheet on kratom, which explains the dose-dependent effects of kratom as related to safety.
Legality
In the United States, some states regulate kratom under consumer protection laws often called KCPA. A few states have implemented a kratom ban, or specifically a 7-OH ban. Others have laws pending.
As the consumer, it is your responsibility to check state laws and the laws of your area (city, county, etc.) before using kratom of any kind. If you plan to travel, you must also check the legality in areas where you want to bring (or use) your 7-OH tablets. Reputable vendors will not ship to areas where kratom is illegal.
