7-OH FAQ & Buying Guide

7-OH FAQ & Buying Guide

Fifty questions, answered straight: what 7-OH is, how to dose it, what the flavors are like, how shipping works in the U.S. and Canada, and where the legal lines sit in 2026. This is the page the shop links to, and it is kept current.

Getting Started 5 questions

What is 7-OH (7-hydroxymitragynine)?
7-OH, or 7-hydroxymitragynine, is one of the alkaloids originally identified in the kratom plant (Mitragyna speciosa). It is a potent compound that acts on opioid receptors in the brain, which is why it is far stronger than regular kratom leaf at a given dose. Dopium produces it in concentrated, lab-verified chewable tablet and bar form with the exact milligram content printed on every label. It is not approved by the FDA for any medical use, and this site makes no medical claims. Learn more in our guide to what 7-OH is.
What does 7-OH do when used?
7-OH acts on opioid receptors, so effects are dose-dependent and individual. Users report onset of feelings typically within 15–45 minutes when chewed, with effects that can last several hours. Because it is potent, the dose you choose matters more than with most products: we recommend starting at the lowest strength (180mg) and never increasing strength before a full day of experience. See how 7-OH works and the dosing FAQs below.
How is 7-OH different from regular kratom?
Regular kratom leaf contains many alkaloids at low concentrations; 7-OH products are a concentrated extract of the single strongest one. That means far less product is needed for the same effect, dosing is more precise, and mistakes are costlier — another reason to start low. Our 7-OH vs regular kratom post breaks down the practical differences.
What strength should I start with?
180mg — our entry-level pack of three 60mg chewable tablets. If you have never used 7-OH, the 180mg range is the only correct starting point, and most first-timers begin with a fraction of one tablet. Work your way up only after a full day at the current strength. Browse the 180mg range or read the strength chooser.
Do I need experience to order?
You do not need experience, but you do need to be 21 or older, and you must be in a location where 7-OH products may lawfully be sold. First-time buyers should pick the 180mg strength and read our first-order guide before checking out. If you are unsure whether we can ship to your area, check the compliance page first.

Strengths & Dosing 6 questions

What milligrams are in each Dopium pack?
Each pack’s total is in the name: 180mg (3 × 60mg tablets), 250mg (5 × 50mg), 300mg (30 × 10mg), 400mg bars (4 × 100mg), 750mg (15 × 50mg) and 1000mg (8 × 125mg). Per-unit milligrams are printed on the label and verified per batch. Compare all six formats in the onset & duration guide and the shop.
What’s the difference between, say, 300mg and 750mg if they both say ‘tablets’?
The total per pack differs, but so does the dose per tablet: the 300mg pack is 30 tablets at 10mg each (built for low-dose flexibility), while the 750mg pack is 15 tablets at 50mg each (built for established users). Choose by the per-tablet number, not just the pack name. The strength ladder post explains when to move between them.
Can I split the tablets to dose more precisely?
Yes. All Dopium tablets are uniform and can be broken into equal halves or quarters with clean, dry hands. A 60mg tablet broken in quarters is a 15mg piece. Splitting is the standard way first-time users dose conservatively. See dosing basics for how to do it well.
How much should I take the first time?
Start with the smallest comfortable fraction of one tablet at the lowest strength — for example a quarter of one 180mg-range tablet — and wait a full day before considering anything more. 7-OH is potent; under-dosing on day one is the smart choice. Full details in Start Low, Go Slow.
How fast does 7-OH take effect, and how long does it last?
Chewed 7-OH typically begins within 15–45 minutes and effects commonly last 2–5 hours, varying with dose, stomach contents and the individual. Never re-dose before you have waited long enough to know the first dose has fully expressed. Read the onset & duration guide for the full breakdown by strength.
What if I accidentally take more than I intended?
Stop, sit down, hydrate, and do not take anything else — especially no alcohol, sedatives or other opioids. Effects are uncomfortable but dose-limited; if you experience difficulty breathing, severe drowsiness or anything that worries you, call emergency services immediately (911 in the U.S. and Canada). For support resources see our emergency information post.

Flavors & Products 5 questions

What flavors do you carry?
Twenty-one flavors across the range: Blue Razz, Cherry Bomb, Berry Blast, Cotton Candy, Grape Slushie, Tigers Blood, Paradise Punch, Watermelon, Mango, Green Apple, Peach, Strawberry, Mint, Tangerine, Mellow Melon, Baja Bliss, Bubble Burst, Rock Candy, Raspberry, Electric Apple, Dragonfruit and Blackberry Smash. Browse by strength in the shop, or see the flavor roundup.
What’s the difference between the tablets and the 400mg bars?
Same verified 7-OH, different format. Tablets are small and easy to break for fine dosing; the 400mg bars are larger chewables at 100mg each, made for users who prefer one substantial piece. Flavor profiles differ slightly by format. See the 400mg bar guide and tablets vs bars.
Which flavor sells fastest?
Blue Razz and Cherry Bomb consistently move the most across strengths — Blue Razz for its sharp tartness, Cherry Bomb for its deep sweetness. Berry-flavored packs are grouped in our berry-flavored collection if that’s your preference.
Are the flavors natural?
Flavors are food-grade flavorings (natural and artificial, as labeled) chosen to mask the bitter alkaloid taste. The active ingredient is 7-hydroxymitragynine extract; inactive ingredients include standard food-grade tablet excipients and colorants, listed on every label. See what’s inside and how it’s verified.
Can I mix different flavors or strengths in one order?
Yes — there is no restriction on mixing products in a single order, and most regulars build a rotation of two or three flavors. Just remember the strength rule: your dosing changes with each format, so keep per-tablet milligrams in mind. See the stocking-up guide for how experienced buyers structure rotations.

Orders & Shipping 6 questions

How long does shipping take within the United States?
Orders process within 1–2 business days. Standard U.S. delivery typically runs 3–7 business days, faster in central and coastal regions, with 1–3 business days common for many orders. Exact times by region are in our shipping policy and the U.S. shipping times guide.
Do you ship to Canada?
Yes — we ship to all Canadian provinces where 7-OH products may lawfully be sold, with delivery generally running 5–12 business days. Canadian buyers should note provincial rules differ; the Canada guide walks through each province and what to expect.
Do you ship to every state?
We ship within the United States and Canada only, and we do not ship to jurisdictions where 7-OH is controlled or prohibited. Placing an order confirms you have satisfied yourself the product is lawful to receive and possess where you live; orders that cannot be lawfully fulfilled are cancelled and refunded. How we handle jurisdiction is explained on the age & compliance page and in our state-by-state overview.
How much is shipping, and when is it free?
Shipping is a flat $25 per order, and orders over $500 ship free. The minimum order is $120. Details, carriers and customs notes for Canada are in the shipping policy.
How do I track my order?
You will receive a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number once your order leaves our warehouse. You can also check status anytime at Track Your Order. If a package is delayed beyond the window on the shipping page, contact us at the contact page and we will investigate with the carrier.
What happens if my order is stuck in transit?
Carriers occasionally hold packages, especially on Canada cross-border shipments. First check the tracking link; if there is no scan movement for more than 10 days, email us and we will file a trace and make it right per our refund & returns policy.

Payment & Accounts 5 questions

What payment methods do you accept?
We accept major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover) through our encrypted payment processor. All transactions are processed over TLS; we never see or store your full card number.
Is my payment and order information secure?
Yes. Checkout is encrypted, payment data is handled by our PCI-compliant processor, and we store only what we need to fulfill and support your order. Our full policy is in the privacy policy and our data-sharing choices in the data-sharing opt-out page.
Do I need an account to order?
No — guest checkout works for every order. Creating an account at My Account is optional and simply gives you order history, faster checkout and reorder shortcuts.
Can I cancel or change my order after placing it?
If your order has not yet shipped, contact us immediately at the contact page and we will do our best to adjust or cancel it before it leaves the warehouse. Once shipped, changes are no longer possible; undelivered packages can be handled under the returns policy.
How quickly do refunds process?
Refunds are issued to the original payment method once the order is cancelled or the return is approved — typically within a few business days on our side, after which your bank or card issuer controls the timing of the credit appearing (commonly 3–10 business days). The full process is in the refund & returns policy.

Quality & Lab Testing 5 questions

Are your products lab tested?
Yes. Every production batch of Dopium 7-OH is sent for third-party analysis covering identity, potency and contaminants. We publish the process on our lab testing & verification page and documents are available on request. No batch ships without its documentation.
What does a COA (certificate of analysis) actually tell you?
A COA is the lab’s signed report for a specific batch: what the product contains, how much 7-OH was measured, and what contaminants (if any) were tested for and found. It is per-batch proof, not a marketing claim. Our COA explainer shows a real report line-by-line.
How do I verify my order is authentic?
Check three things: the lot/batch number on the pack matches your order and the available documentation, the packaging and seal match the photos in your product page, and the seller is this official store. We walk through the full verification routine in How to Verify Your Dopium Order.
Is potency consistent between batches?
We verify potency per batch and flag any batch that falls outside tolerance for rework or discard — that is the whole point of per-batch testing. If you ever believe a pack feels off versus a previous one, contact us with the batch number and we will pull its documentation. See how we test.
What are the inactive ingredients?
Inactive ingredients are food-grade tablet excipients (binders, fillers, flow agents), food-grade colorants, and natural and artificial flavorings, all listed on the label of every product. The only active ingredient is 7-hydroxymitragynine extract. Full ingredient detail is on each product page in the shop.
Is 7-OH legal where I live?
Federal and state/provincial rules differ and are actively changing in 2026. 7-OH is not federally scheduled as of our last check, but the DEA has a pending temporary order, and several U.S. states and some Canadian provinces restrict 7-OH products. Always check the compliance page before ordering — we do not ship to jurisdictions where 7-OH is controlled.
What is the federal status of 7-OH in 2026?
As of our last check, 7-OH remains unscheduled at the federal level. The FDA recommended Schedule I classification in July 2025; the DEA published a notice of intent in July 2026 to temporarily schedule concentrated 7-OH, and separately scheduled three related synthetic compounds effective August 26, 2026. The 7-OH order itself has not taken effect as of this writing. We keep this summary current on the compliance page.
Why do you require 21+ verification?
7-OH is a potent alkaloid, and every serious retailer in this category sells to adults only. We verify age at checkout and refuse orders that cannot be verified. Our age verification explainer covers how the process works and why it exists.
Do you ship internationally?
Currently we ship within the United States and Canada only, and only to jurisdictions where these products may lawfully be sold. International shipping is not available at this time.
What happens to my order if rules change in my state?
Orders placed before any change are honored where lawfully possible; orders placed after a change simply cannot ship there. We post regulatory updates on the compliance page and in the blog as they occur — see what scheduling would mean.
Is 7-OH legal in Canada?
Canada does not have a single federal ban covering these products, but rules are provincial and evolving, and border/customs treatment of kratom-derived products has shifted. Our Canada guide covers province-by-province what we can ship, and our fulfillment review will, and orders that cannot be lawfully fulfilled are cancelled and refunded.

Safety 5 questions

Can I combine 7-OH with alcohol?
No. 7-OH acts on opioid receptors, and combining opioid-active substances with alcohol multiplies the risk of respiratory depression and other serious effects. This is the single most important rule on the site: never mix 7-OH with alcohol, benzodiazepines, sleep medications or other opioids. See why mixing is dangerous.
What side effects should I know about?
Common ones at higher doses include drowsiness, nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and constipation; tolerance and physical dependence are possible with repeated use. These are not exhaustive. Our side effects guide covers what to expect, what’s normal, and when to stop.
Does 7-OH build tolerance?
Yes — like other opioid-receptor-acting substances, repeated use leads to tolerance and some users develop dependence. Managing this with planned low-dose windows and strength discipline is a core part of the responsible use and tolerance posts.
Who should not use 7-OH at all?
Anyone under 21, anyone who is pregnant or nursing, anyone taking prescription medication (especially opioids, sedatives, or respiratory depressants), and people with respiratory, cardiac, hepatic or renal conditions should not use 7-OH. The full list with reasoning is in Who Should Not Use 7-OH.
What should I do if someone took too much?
Call emergency services immediately (911 in the U.S. and Canada). Do not wait for symptoms to pass, do not give them anything to drink, and keep them on their side. If you need a non-emergency conversation resource, the U.S. 988 Lifeline (call or text) is available 24/7. More resources in our emergency information post.

Storage & Handling 4 questions

How should I store my tablets?
Tight, cool, dark, dry: leave the pack sealed until use, store below ~25°C (77°F) away from sunlight and humidity (bathrooms and cars are the worst options). Proper storage is what keeps potency intact — see the storage guide for details and shelf life.
How long does an unopened pack last?
Unopened and stored properly, Dopium packs retain verified potency well beyond 12 months; the lot date on the label is your reference. Once opened, reseal the pack promptly after each use. Details in the storage guide.
Are the tablets scored or easy to break evenly?
The tablets are pressed for uniform density and break cleanly along their center into equal halves and quarters with dry hands. We designed them so quarter-dosing is reliable — see dosing basics.
What if a tablet breaks or cracks?
An accidental clean break is fine — you have two equal pieces to account for in your dosing log. But a cracked, crumbled, discolored or soft tablet is a storage failure, and it is not the standardized unit the label describes. Do not use it: contact us with the batch number via the contact page and we will make it right under the returns policy. Prevention is in the storage guide.

Wholesale 3 questions

Do you offer wholesale pricing?
Yes. We supply vetted retail and distribution partners in eligible jurisdictions with tiered wholesale pricing, display-ready stock and batch documentation for each shipment. Terms and requirements are on the wholesale & distribution page.
What are the wholesale requirements?
Partners must be established businesses operating in jurisdictions where these products may lawfully be sold, must be able to enforce 21+ sales, and must agree to our distribution terms. Start at the wholesale page to request the current deck and pricing.
How do I apply to become a distributor?
Submit the form on the wholesale page with your business details and the jurisdictions you serve. We review applications in order and respond within a few business days. See also our wholesale explainer.
