  • Mitragynine

    Mitragynine is the most abundant of kratom alkaloids in the Mitragyna speciosa plant. The structure of mitragynine is unique, allowing it to interact with multiple receptors in the body, lending kratom its multifaceted properties. Different kratom batches we receive will always have variable mitragynine levels which is due to it being an all-natural product and plant.

  • 7-Hydroxymitragynine

    7-hydroxymitragynine is the more controversial kratom alkaloid. Derived from mitragynine through the oxidation process, 7-hydroxymitragynine may react with the body's receptors more, leading to its enhanced potency. Our kratom on average contains only .005-.14% 7-hydroxymitragynine of the total alkaloid content which is well below the legal limit of 1-2%.
