Posted by Everyone is talking about the recent federal ban of concentrated 7-OH products starting 5th August 2026. This ban is expected to last for 2 years and was informed by the FDA and DEA’s view that 7-OH poses a serious risk to human health, is highly potent – up to 13 times stronger than morphine, and is addictive.
Does this mean kratom products will disappear from online stores and retail shelves? No. Real Botanicals had already been preparing for tighter rules around concentrated 7-OH products and has developed alternative products that remain available for now.
The brand offers three popular alternatives that provide a similar experience, with each product bringing its own effects and profile: Pseudo, Oxonol, and Acend tablets. All three are among the brand’s best-selling products, and you can currently get 20% off each one.
Here is a detailed review of how to use each of these legal kratom extract tablets.
Key Takeaways
- The FDA and DEA’s planned August 5, 2026, restrictions target concentrated 7-OH products, not all kratom extracts.
- Acend contains 160mg of full-spectrum Mitragyna speciosa extract, with a recommended 40mg serving and a maximum of one tablet in 24 hours.
- Pseudo tablets contain 50mg of mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, with a recommended starting serving of one-quarter tablet, or 12mg.
- Oxonol comes in 30mg and 60mg tablets, with serving sizes of 15mg and 7.5mg, respectively.
- Check local laws before buying, since kratom extract regulations can change, and product availability may vary by jurisdiction.
How to Use Acend Tablet
Acend tops the list of the best 7-OH alternatives as it’s not targeted by the recent FDA ban on 7-OH products. It’s a concentrated, full-spectrum kratom extract tablet designed for experienced kratom users who have used kratom extracts before.
One of the highlights that makes it different from other concentrated 7-OH products affected by the FDA ban is that it contains a broad-spectrum Mitragyna speciosa extract rather than isolated 7-hydroxymitragynine. Using ChromaPure technology, Real Botanicals is able to extract mitragynine and combine it with other naturally occurring kratom alkaloids.
Each tablet contains 160mg of Mitragyna speciosa extract. Thanks to the tablet’s splitable design, you can divide the tablet into four 40mg servings.
What’s the recommended serving?
- ¼ tablet per serving (40mg)
- Wait for at least 90 minutes before redosing
- Do not take more than one full tablet in 24 hours
Acend targets experienced kratom users, and it contains no 7-hydroxymitragynine, which makes it different from other products directly affected by recent restrictions on concentrated 7-OH products.
How To Use Pseudo Tablets
Also referred to as Pseudoindoxyl tablet, these kratom extract products are made up of Mitragynine pseudoindoxyl alkaloid. Compared to the 7-hydroxymitragynine, this alkaloid is more relaxing and grounding. Also, many users who have tried it say the effects last longer, making it one of the best 7-OH alternatives available in the market before 5th August.
Based on our analysis, Pseudo tablets are not meant for new kratom users, as their effects are stronger. It’s best suited for people looking for long-lasting relief and a more settled experience instead of the energetic feel associated with most 7-OH products.
Concisely, most of the customers we spoke to say they turn to Pseudo tablets when they want something that feels deeper and lasts longer. Each tablet contains 50mg of Mitragynine Pseudoindoxyl, chewable, and has a splittable design.
What’s the recommended serving?
- ¼ tablet (12mg of Mitragynine Pseudoindoxyl) per serving
- Only re-dose or increase your serving if you know how to use kratom extract products
The brand uses its proprietary ChromaPure technology to produce these tablets and maintain consistent purity and potency across batches. It also tests every batch for safety, purity, and potency.
Thorough screening at the brand’s lab, based in South Carolina, and third-party labs confirms the tablets don’t contain yeast, mold, coliforms, Salmonella, E.coli, Staphylococcus, and heavy metals. You can request a Pseudo 50mg COA before buying.
How To Use Oxonol Tablets
Oxonol tablets are designed for adults who already have experience with concentrated kratom extracts. The team of chemists at Real Botanicals uses its skills and advanced ChromaPure technology to develop a tablet that combines MGM-15 with mitragynine.
Many people describe Oxonol as a 7-OH alternative, but it is not simply 7-OH under a different name.
Its MGM-15 and mitragynine formula gives it a different profile, which is why some experienced extract users choose it when they want a measured and controlled kratom experience.
You can opt for the 30mg tablet, which provides 2 servings of 15mg per serving, or the 60mg tablet that offers 4 servings of 7.5mg per serving. The latter is available in 10ct and 20ct, and the 30mg tablet is available in 4ct.
The commonly reported effects include mental quiet and clarity, smooth focus, mood support, and a longer-lasting deep relief. Note that experience depends on individual factors such as tolerance, food intake, and body weight.

What’s the recommended serving?
- If you buy the 30mg tablet: ½ tablet = 15mg per serving
- If you buy 60mg tablet: ¼ tablet = 7.5mg per serving
The effects are gradual, and Real Botanicals recommends waiting for 30-45 minutes before redosing. Do not exceed two servings of the 30mg tablet or four servings of the 60mg tablet within 24 hours. Your daily ceiling should be one full tablet.
So, Is It Legal to Buy Kratom Extracts?
The legality of kratom extracts is always changing, so it’s best to first check the local laws before buying.
At the time of writing, you can legally buy all three kratom extracts, Acend, Oxonol, and Pseudo, from Real Botanicals. But after 5th August 2026, only Acend will be available. Take advantage of the 20% off on all of them to stock up!
No need to worry, though. Real Botanicals has a host of other quality, safe, and legal kratom products you can buy. The brand is also working on launching new products that will be fully compliant with the FDA and other state health regulators’ directives.
