Posted by 7-OH products, also sometimes known as 7-OH kratom products, are a powerful way to get fast relief, a mood boost, and even a burst of energy to get you through the day or help you decompress at night. You might have seen Float Mushrooms or Real Botanicals products around, but not often in the same places.
These two vendors both offer 7-OH products, but the user and shopping experiences are different. Learn about what makes them unique and which vendor is the superior option, here.
Company Backgrounds
Real Botanicals: This South Carolina-based vendor partners with retail brick-and-mortar shops in NC and SC. Founded in 2021, it came after kratom became popular in the early- and mid-2000s, and before 7-OH products hit the market in 2023. Wellness and lifestyle support define the brand with a focus on balancing mood, energy, and focus.
Float: Unfortunately, there isn’t any information on Float’s background or founding history, except that it is based in Los Angeles, California. It focuses on Delta-9 THC but also offers 7-OH through retail partners.
The verdict: A company’s background is important for the decision-making process. Real Botanicals has more information.
Sourcing and Manufacturing Practices
Real Botanicals: There’s no white-labeling here, since Real Botanicals is manufacturer-direct. Per their commitment to ethical sourcing, they have Southeast Asian partners and coops. Streamlining their processing is their patented ChromaPure technology.
Float: Again, there’s no information on this vendor. However, judging by how many 7-OH vendors source and process their products, they outsource their manufacturing. That means processing is done with solvents, which leaves residues behind. Knowing the sourcing is also important because it determines product quality, and there’s no information about this, either.
The verdict: Environmentally-conscious consumers want to know that their 7-OH vendor practices ethical sourcing for sustainability as well as higher-end product quality.
Quality Control and Testing
Real Botanicals: Perfecting the quality control means having a GMP-compliant facility with a private lab, so Real Botanicals can do their own testing before the independent third-party testing. Small-batch testing means the highest consistency among batches, too. Each product listing on their website has a link to the COA with comprehensive information.
Float: Independent, third-party testing is the bare minimum to expect with 7-OH vendors. Float does include legal disclaimers and there’s a QR code on the back of the product packaging to scan and pull up COAs online.
The verdict: Both vendors engage in independent, third-party testing, but only Real Botanicals has a private lab and transparent COAs online available without purchase.
Product Line
Real Botanicals: The basis of Real Botanicals 7-OH is organic, whole-leaf kratom. Then, they use ChromaPure to extract the 7-hydroxymitragynine alkaloid. From there, you get two choices of 7-OH kratom products with simple formulas and no fillers:
- 7-OH tablets: These chewable tablets come in 10, 20, 50, and 100 mg options with 3-count blister packs, 10-count travel tubes, or 20 or 50-count bottles, all with Strawberry flavor.
- 7-OH shots: Choose from 2, 6, and 12-packs of 30 mg per bottle with natural flavors, meaning an herbal undertone underneath a fruit citrus or berry overlay and a low level of bitterness.
- Full-spectrum capsules: These capsules contain up to 40 alkaloids for a wholesome and more potent user experience, offering a mood boost, gentle lift, and pleasant edge in 75, 150, and 225 mg dose options with a 10-capsule pack or 3-pack options.
- Kratom and kava shots: The fastest way to ease into social gatherings with 150 or 375 mg of kratom and 250 mg kava, plus L-theanine, GABA, and Ashwagandha for extra calming power.
Float: There are a few available 7-OH kratom products that are all about the user experience with 7-OH, blends, and flavors:
- 7-OH tablets: Chewable tablets with 14 mg 7-OH in 4-count packs in Blue Raspberry or Cherry flavors, with the last tablet containing 100 mg full-spectrum extract from kratom.
- 7-OH strips: Sublingual strips in a 5-count pack with Peppermint flavor.
The verdict: Real Botanicals’ products are about premium quality, transparency, and convenience with dosing precision and simplicity, giving users two different product options with regards to speed of onset and duration. Float is about the user experience with 7-OH blends and flavors that allow the user to rotate or combine with full-spectrum kratom alkaloids, or choose the much faster-acting strips.
Shopping Experience
Real Botanicals: The website is very clear and well-organized. Upon entering, you can sign up for the newsletter coupon and get a discount. If you meet the order minimum, you get free shipping. They stand behind their products, so you have 30 days or your money back. Their retail partners in NC and SC as well as online partners carry select products, but the website gives you the full product line.
Float: When shopping directly on their website, you won’t find 7-OH products – only through their retail partners online or in-person. The website is colorful but the menu bar is not clear on the homepage, while the About section only states where they are located, and a Contact option available. You can likely get discounts when purchasing through their retail partners.
The verdict: Real Botanicals gives you more shopping options both online and in-person and their products are more widely available.
Final Thoughts
Both Real Botanicals and Float Mushrooms offer some well-known 7-OH kratom products. However, ultimately it is about the type of user and shopping experiences you want to have. Float Mushrooms is about a potent, flavorful user experience. Their 7-OH tablets have 3 with only 7-OH and the last with full-spectrum kratom to introduce you to all the alkaloids, and they also offer fast-acting strips with only 7-OH when you need immediate relief. Real Botanicals is about purity, simplicity, control, and convenience that fits your routine. They have7-OH tablets and fast-onset shots as well as full-spectrum kratom separately to offer you targeted or full-spectrum kratom alkaloids for a custom experience you can rotate between if you so choose.
