Looking at the Dangers of New Kratom Concentrated Products
Who doesn’t want a miracle drug that offers pain relief, relief from anxiety and depression, and offers to give you the ability to focus?
Kratom users certainly seek out these effects, but the perceived positive effects of this drug also come with serious and potentially fatal health risks.
If you hear a loved one talking about 7 Lives Kratom, you should explore the topic further, encouraging them to seek help.
What is 7 Lives Kratom? It is an extra-potent form of 7-hydroxymitragynine kratom (also known as 7-Oh). It is many times more powerful than morphine and is not regulated by the FDA, making it available through online stores and even at gas stations or local smoke shops in most states.
South Shores Detox offers a safe environment for you or your loved one to detox from kratom and other opioid-like substances. We’ll help you through withdrawal symptoms and offer medical supervision for any dangerous conditions that arise, helping you think about relapse prevention.
Here’s what you need to know about kratom use, especially in these higher doses and potent tablets.
What is 7 Lives Kratom?
If you have heard a loved one talking about mood enhancement or pain relief with kratom, you have every right to be concerned. 7 Lives Kratom is a branded version of 7-Oh kratom that can be highly potent compared to the traditional product.
Kratom alkaloids come from the trees native to Southeast Asia, which means that many companies, like 7 Lives, market kratom as a naturally derived substance. At low doses, this kratom plant makes users more alert and acts as an over-the-counter stimulant. At higher doses, it acts on the opioid receptors with much more powerful outcomes.
What is so dangerous for kratom users about this extracted product?
The Presence of Powerful 7-Oh Kratom Alkaloids in 7 Lives Kratom Products
While many people might head to local gas stations or smoke shops to get a dose of kratom, there are reasons why people flock to 7 Oh kratom. Brands like 7 Lives sell exclusively high-potency products with lots of the active compounds that people seek when taking kratom.
The problem is that their dosing isn’t always so straightforward. Some sources estimate that the doses are up to 50 times as powerful as traditional kratom powder.
This means that it could be up to ten times or more potent than morphine. The risk of taking these 7-Oh kratom products is extremely dangerous and comes with the health risks of taking too many opioids.
If it is this much more powerful than morphine, then the 7 Lives Kratom 40 mg pills are equivalent to many hundreds of milligrams of the traditional opiate. You’ll have serious health risks when taking an opioid-like substance this strong, and you can develop 7 oH kratom dependence and withdrawal.
What are the Risks of Higher Potency 7-Hydroxymitragynine Products?
These high-potency drugs come with even more potential risks than traditional kratom. Because this is a drug not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, there is no oversight into dosages and long-term effects. Research is only now beginning to reveal the potential risks.
What are the Health Risks of Using Kratom Extracts as Pain Relief?
The reason that many users turn to 7 Lives Kratom is that they have chronic or unbearable pain. Kratom does offer some relief from pain, but it’s not without health risks. The most common symptom of taking 7 Lives Kratom is respiratory depression, meaning that your breathing slows down until it stops.
You can make it through these symptoms if you have someone on hand to deliver naloxone, but it may not be enough to keep you out of a medically supervised detox for severe withdrawal.
Other health risks should be handled under the guidance of an experienced healthcare provider. For example, taking too much kratom (as with any illicit opioids) can lead to more serious side effects like seizures, loss of consciousness, and high blood pressure.
Will You Experience Opioid Withdrawal If You Develop Kratom Dependence?
Unfortunately, it might not be as easy as simply deciding to quit using 7 Lives Kratom one day. Most kratom users are going to experience some degree of withdrawal symptoms during their initial days without kratom products. The acute phase of withdrawal from kratom leaves can be quite severe.
According to research, approximately 10 percent of people who use kratom are actually addicted to the substance. This number surges among those who are seeking opioid-like effects to combat an opioid use disorder instead.
Your brain can easily develop an addiction to the leaves of the mitragyna speciosa tree. Perhaps you already have because these drugs are aimed at “improving your well-being.” If you have, then medical support may be necessary to come off of it for good.
What Does a Medical Detox Offer for 7 Oh Kratom Users?
A medical detox for kratom during the acute and sub-acute phase can be immensely helpful. Not only will you or your loved one be monitored by a team of experienced professionals, but you will also be made as comfortable as possible through medication management.
One of the best practices for detoxing from 7-hydroxymitragynine is the administration of other legal drugs like sublingual buprenorphine-naloxone, sometimes known as Suboxone. This can minimize your withdrawal symptoms, but it can also be a long-term solution for the maintenance of addictive kratom use.
Trying to taper off kratom alkaloids at home is a dangerous business, as you’ll lack the tools that our professionals at South Shores Detox can offer.
