7-OH Price Per Mg, Explained
Updated July 19, 2026 · Educational resource · 21+
When people compare 7-OH (7-hydroxymitragynine) products, the first number they usually notice is the sticker price on the package. That number alone can be misleading. A 5-count package and a 100-count package are not the same purchase, and two products at the same shelf price can hold very different total amounts of 7-hydroxymitragynine. The metric that lets you compare products on equal footing is 7-OH price per mg — the cost of a single milligram of the active compound. This page explains what that figure is, how to calculate it, and how to read it, without recommending any product or making any claims about effects.
Why price per mg, not price per package
Sticker price answers "what does this box cost?" It does not answer "how much am I paying for what's actually inside?" Tablet products differ in two independent ways: how many pieces are in the package (the count) and how much 7-hydroxymitragynine is in each piece (the potency, usually printed as mg per tablet). A cheaper package can hold fewer total milligrams than a pricier one, so the "cheaper" option can cost more per milligram. Price per mg collapses count and potency into one comparable number, which is why it is the fairest way to gauge 7OH value across brands and pack sizes.
The formula
The calculation only needs three figures, all of which should appear on a product page or label:
- Price of the package (in dollars)
- Count — how many tablets are in the package
- Potency — milligrams of 7-hydroxymitragynine per tablet
From there:
Total mg = count × mg per tablet
Price per mg = package price ÷ total mg
That's it. Multiply to get the total milligrams in the package, then divide the price by that total. The result is a small dollar figure — usually a few cents — that you can line up against any other product measured the same way.
A worked example
Consider a real listing: a "Big League Chewy's" tablet from Favor'd Alkz, shown here only as one publicly listed example. The label states 84.9 mg per tablet, and the smallest package is a 5-count at $40.50.
Step 1 — total milligrams:
84.9 mg × 5 tablets = 424.5 mg
Step 2 — price per mg:
$40.50 ÷ 424.5 mg = about $0.095 per mg
So this package works out to roughly nine and a half cents per milligram of 7-hydroxymitragynine. On its own that number means little; it becomes useful the moment you compute the same figure for a second product and compare.
Pack size usually changes the number
The same product line often lists larger packages at a lower price per mg, because larger counts are typically discounted per unit. Using the same example line, a much larger 500-count package listed at $2,333 works out to:
84.9 mg × 500 = 42,450 mg, and $2,333 ÷ 42,450 mg = about $0.055 per mg
Same potency per tablet, same product family — but the per-mg cost drops from roughly $0.095 to roughly $0.055 simply because of pack size. This is the single most common reason two prices look confusing: you are comparing a small pack to a large one. Always compare per-mg to per-mg.
| Package | Potency | Total mg | Price | Price per mg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5-count | 84.9 mg/tab | 424.5 mg | $40.50 | ~$0.095 |
| 500-count | 84.9 mg/tab | 42,450 mg | $2,333 | ~$0.055 |
How to read the number responsibly
Price per mg is a value metric, not a quality or safety metric. A lower cost per milligram does not mean a product is better, more consistent, or appropriate for any given person — it only means each milligram costs less. Keep a few things in mind:
- Potency should be verifiable. A per-mg figure is only as good as the mg-per-tablet claim behind it. Products that publish a certificate of analysis (COA) or third-party lab result give you a basis to trust the potency number you're dividing by.
- Compare like with like. Tablets versus powder, or products at very different potencies, may not be directly comparable in practice even when the per-mg math lines up.
- Larger packs cost more up front. A lower per-mg price almost always requires a bigger total spend, so the "best value" package is not automatically the best purchase for a given budget.
- Shipping, taxes, and discounts change the real per-mg cost. For an exact figure, use the final total you actually pay, not the pre-checkout price.

Frequently asked questions
What is a "good" 7-OH price per mg?
There is no universal benchmark, because potency claims and pack sizes vary widely across the market. The useful move is not to chase a specific target number but to run the same calculation on every product you're weighing and compare them directly.
Do I use price per tablet or price per mg?
Price per mg. Price per tablet ignores potency — a low-potency tablet can be cheap per piece yet expensive per milligram. Milligrams are the common unit that makes different products comparable.
Where do I find the mg-per-tablet number?
It is normally printed on the product label or listed on the product page as potency or "mg per tablet." If a seller does not disclose it, you cannot calculate price per mg, which is itself worth noting when comparing sources.
Why does the same product have two different per-mg prices?
Almost always pack size. Larger counts are usually discounted per unit, so a bigger package lowers the per-mg cost even though the potency per tablet is unchanged.
