What Is Kratom?

Kratom has exploded in popularity in the last 5 years in the US as a totally natural botanical that can help increase energy, focus and help with aches and pains. It is tree that is primarily grown in Indonesia and is in the coffee family, which can give it stimulating effects. It naturally developed two alkaloids – Mitragynine and 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH). These alkaloids have two different effects, the first being sedative, opiate like qualities and the latter being energy and focus boosting qualities. It is this combination of natural alkaloids that has led to millions of people in the US to utilize Kratom to improve their daily lives. Click Here to read our guide of more info on what Kratom Is.

Where Do I Start?

Kratom has 4 major colors, or “Veins” that have different quantities of each major alkaloid. These are then divided into particular “Strains” that have slightly different effects or places they are grown.

Green Veins – These have both high quantities of Mitragynine and 7-OH, so they are great all around strains for boosting energy and focus, mood elevating and as an analgesic.
Red Veins – These have higher quantities of Mitragynine but low quantities of 7-OH, so they tend to be best for night time, or for stronger analgesic needs.
White Veins – These have lower Mitragynine but elevated 7-OH, which means they are amazing as an energy and focus booster – Better than coffee!
Yellow Veins – These are like a cross between Green and Red Veins, and are great for all around day use, but have increased mood boosting effects.

How Do I Take It?

Kratom is quite literally a dried up leaf – so you can imagine it doesn’t taste the greatest. If you don’t have a problem with a little earthy taste, and mixing it with a drink, then powder will work for you! If you have issues with taste, then we recommend convenient capsules! If you are very taste sensitive, then we recommend Kratom Extract! For a guide on how to consume Kratom click Here. For a guide on the difference between Kratom Powder and Extract, click Here.
