Kratom is a plant/herb that hails from Southeast Asia and grows naturally in marshy regions. It can grow up to be quite tall and was historically used for mood lifting things like management of pain, anxiety, depression, more energy as well as for overcoming opioid addiction.
Kratom’s efficacy is attributed to the presence of over 120 different alkaloids. In varying levels, their effects can range from being mildly stimulating to energizing, and even sedating. At a low dose, kratom is good for elevating mood and energy levels. You would feel mentally and physically stronger, positive, and happy; all of which normally seem impossible. Taking a good kratom strain like Bali kratom can, however, help enhance your mood.
Some kratom strains can calm you down which is good for people who are struggling with anxiety, negative thinking, etc. These varying effects come from multiple strains that are of unique colors, namely; red, green, and white. The kind of effect you experience will depend on which color of strain you have picked.
In terms of the mechanism, kratom alkaloids interact with the opioid receptors thereby delivering all kinds of therapeutic effects.
Kratom Vein Colors Explained
As we mentioned already, kratom has 3 vein colors – green, red, and white. You can choose from this kratom vendor list if you want to try any of these. Each one carries a unique alkaloid profile which is a result of the leaf color, the environmental conditions in which it was grown, and the harvesting technique. The drying process where leaves are exposed to the UV light also determines the color and the final alkaloid profile.
A low kratom dose (less than 5 g) is good for energy because, at this level, the alkaloids tend to have effects similar to caffeine-rush. As you up the dose, effects of alkaloids (7-hydroxymitragynine and mitragynine start to diverge.
- You can expect the most ‘balanced’ effects from Green kratom. A sudden sense of calmness and relief from physical pain is common. Other than that, you can also expect better mood, physical energy, and better cognitive functioning.
- White is the most aggressive if you want more energy. It is rich in most prominent alkaloids which would explain the strong effects in terms of physical and mental energy. At higher doses, the effects can be overwhelming. Do not expect any calming effects from white but it will make you happy.
- On higher doses, red kratom shows different results. At higher doses, red kratom will make you calmer and you would experience dropping of energy. Any physical pain sensations will be gone. Red kratom‘s effect will make you feel like doing nothing but just chill out in total blissfulness.
As you can see, color is not just a factor of looks when it comes to kratom but it’s the governing factor as to what range of effects you experience.
