7-Hydroxymitragynine** forms naturally in the plant but can also appear in higher dozo vape concentrations through oxidation or processing of mitragynine.
Chemically, it belongs to the indole alkaloid family and interacts with the body’s **opioid receptors**, although it is not an opioid itself. Its potency comes from its strong affinity for these receptors, which influences how it affects the central nervous system.
How 7-Hydroxymitragynine Works
The main mechanism of 7-Hydroxymitragynine is its interaction with the **mu-opioid receptors** in the brain. When it binds to these receptors, it can trigger sensations of relief from discomfort, relaxation, or even mild euphoria. Unlike traditional opioids, kratom alkaloids also have activity at other receptor sites, such as **delta** and **kappa opioid receptors**, and may influence serotonin and dopamine systems. This broader receptor activity may account for differences in effect compared to synthetic or prescription opioids.
