Welcome back to our education series on 7-OH. So far, we've talked about Mythbusting on the "safety" of using kratom without knowing the potential dangers, as well as some Key Facts about how concentrated 7-OH differs from kratom in general.

Today, we're continuing the discussion on concentration and why it is so critical to understand. The bottom line is: Higher concentration = higher risk, and it's important to know that before ever purchasing at your local v**e shop or online.
