FINALLY GOOD NEWS!
"The FDA is specifically targeting 7-OH, a concentrated byproduct of the kratom plant; it is not focused on natural kratom leaf products."
The American Kratom Association (AKA) applauds this bold, science-driven action as a critical milestone in protecting public health and consumer safety. These dangerous, chemically altered 7-OH products are not natural kratom. They are manipulated substances with potent opioid-like effects, misleadingly sold under the kratom name, and they threaten both consumers and the reputation of natural kratom.
