What are some benefits of 7-Hydroxymitragynine

7OH may be effective for easing chronic pain, having effects up to 13 times more potent than morphine. However, it is considered an atypical opioid as it selectively inactivates specific signals on the opoid receptors, resulting in more tolerable side effects compared to typical opioids.

7OH may have mood-enhancing effects and may even help ease the withdrawal symptoms of morphine and ethanol. Early studies suggest it may potentially reduce hunger along with antidepressant qualities due to the lowering of corticosterone levels in mice.
