‼ Important Health Update on Kratom
If you haven't heard of it, kratom is a plant-based product found in some drinks, gummies or powders. But here's what you really need to know:
⚠️ The FDA is warning consumers not to use kratom because of serious health risks — especially products that contain the chemical 7-OH.
7-OH acts like an opioid — which means it can affect your brain like strong painkillers do. That could lead to serious risks like:
▪Trouble breathing
▪Accidental overdose
▪Addiction
✅ What can you do?
▪Be cautious of kratom products in gas stations, smoke shops or online.
▪Don't assume it's safe just because it's "natural" or sold over the counter.
▪Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions.
