7-OXY, aka 7-Hydroxymitragynine , a terpenoid indole alkaloid, is ethically sourced from the leaves of Mitragyna speciosa, also widely recognized as kratom. Initially identified in 1994, this compound is a naturally occurring derivative of mitragynine found in kratom foliage. Notably, 7-OXY exhibits a strong affinity for binding to opioid receptors, akin to mitragynine, yet studies indicate that 7-Hydroxymitragynine demonstrates a more potent binding effectiveness.
