At Korthals’ Collection, we believe in kratom as nature intended—whole, unaltered, and in balance. You won’t find any products here containing added or isolated 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH). Here’s why.
What Is 7-OH?
7-OH, short for 7-hydroxymitragynine, is a naturally occurring alkaloid found in kratom. But it’s not the star of the show. Your body creates most of the 7-OH you experience by breaking down mitragynine (kratom’s primary alkaloid) during digestion. It’s a slow, natural conversion process your body controls.
Some brands skip that process entirely by adding concentrated or synthetic 7-OH directly into their kratom products. The result? A faster, harder hit, but at a cost.
| Natural Kratom | 7-OH-Enhanced Products |
|---|---|
| Contains 40+ alkaloids in natural harmony | Contains added 7-OH in high concentrations |
| Effects develop gradually and strain specific | Fast-acting, often jarring or inconsistent |
| Works with your body's chemistry | Overrides your body's natural process |
| Lab-tested for safety and consistency | Often under-tested, misrepresented |
Why We Don’t Enhance with 7-OH
We don’t cut corners for intensity. We don’t spike our kratom with isolates. And we don’t believe “stronger” should come with a trade-off.
Products enhanced with 7-OH tend to be fast-acting, but also more jarring, less predictable, and harder on the body. They’re more likely to cause nausea, sedation, or overuse issues. That’s not what we’re here to offer.
Korthals’ Collection is about full-spectrum kratom, lab-tested, naturally balanced, and designed to work with your body, not override it. No hype. No shortcuts. Just real, effective support.
Looking for Strength? Skip the Synthetic Stuff.
“Strong” doesn’t have to mean synthetic. If you’re looking for deeper effects, we’ll help you find the right strain, timing, and pairing, without added risk.
Some of our boldest full-spectrum picks include:
- Red Horned Maeng Da – long-acting and bold
- Dark Brown Bentuangie – designed for deep body calm
-
Red Dragon – smooth, uplifting synergy
Want to get more from your kratom? Try:
- Taking it on a light stomach
- Pairing it with citrus (like orange or lemon juice)
-
Rotating strains to reduce tolerance
The Bottom Line
7-OH has a role to play in kratom, but it’s not meant to take over. Your body knows how to activate it—gently, gradually, and in balance.
That’s why we never add or isolate it. We offer only full-spectrum kratom, just as nature intended: unaltered, lab-tested, and formulated to work with your body, not against it.
