Last checked June 6, 2026 · Sources checked: Binding state controlled-substances schedule, administrative rule, or kratom consumer-protection statute naming 7-hydroxymitragynine; FDA 2025 federal scheduling recommendation; snapshot 2026-06-06-7oh

7-OH (7-hydroxymitragynine) is regulated in Illinois, where the Kratom Control Act names 7-hydroxymitragynine as a kratom alkaloid and bars selling kratom to anyone under 18. The law does not cap 7-hydroxymitragynine concentration, so 7-OH products are regulated rather than prohibited for adults. Federally, the FDA recommended in 2025 that the DEA schedule concentrated 7-OH, but 7-OH remains federally unscheduled as of 2026.
