Updated 20 July 2026. 7-OH (7-hydroxymitragynine) remains federally scheduled, so it sits out for now — and its shelf space moved next door: traditional kratom leaf, kava and functional pouches are live in the catalogue for licensed buyers. The compliant-alternatives guidance below is current as of this update — also see our Delta-8 status page and the nicotine pouch category for the other categories retailers are re-planning this quarter.
7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH): Status and Compliant Alternatives
7-OH has been a fast-moving category, but it is now being federally scheduled. GW Products has paused 7-OH so you do not stock a product that could put your license at risk. The good news: the traditional plant and other feel-good botanicals are still fully available to source through one account.
What changed with 7-OH
7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) is a concentrated kratom alkaloid sold in tablets and shots. It is being added to the federal schedule on a temporary basis, which means it is no longer something a licensed retailer should be buying or selling. This is different from the traditional kratom leaf, which many shops continue to carry where it is legal. Rules are still moving, so always confirm the current federal status and your state law before you stock anything in this family.
What to stock instead
These are the compliant categories our buyers are shifting demand into. They are not a replacement for 7-OH and we make no claims about effects, but they are proven sellers you can source and reorder from the same GW Products account.

Frequently asked questions
Can I still buy 7-OH wholesale from GW Products?
7-OH itself is paused while it is federally scheduled — that protects your license. The kratom aisle stayed open: traditional leaf, capsules and botanicals are in the live catalogue right now. If that changes, we will update this page.
Is traditional kratom the same as 7-OH?
They are different products. 7-OH is a concentrated alkaloid that is being scheduled. Traditional kratom leaf is a different product that many shops still carry where it is legal. Always confirm your state law.
What should I move my 7-OH shelf space to?
Traditional kratom, kratom extract and shots, and kava are the compliant categories our buyers are shifting into. Request wholesale access to see live prices.
