Are you new to kratom? Perhaps you have used kratom for a while but are looking to change things up. The most popular form of kratom is powder, but it also comes in capsules, extracts, and teas. Let’s talk about the different forms of kratom use.
Understanding Different Kratom Strains
Kratom originates from Southeast Asia and has been used for centuries in their culture. The kratom plant has become increasingly popular across the nation for the wellness support that it offers. Kratom can be characterized by its vein color, as well as the
area in which it originates. Naturally, the Mitragyna Speciosa trees produce leaves that have veins running through them. These veins may be red vein kratom, green vein kratom, or white vein kratom. Yellow vein kratom is the product of red strain kratom that has gone through a specialized fermentation and drying process. The different strains of kratom can be recognized by their vein color.

While these characteristics are true most of the time, it is not always the case. Take, for example, White Maeng Da kratom. While this strain comes from white kratom, Maeng Da is not a place. In this instance, it is known due to local terms that characterize the type of kratom it is.
Kratom is an herb that can be found in the forest of Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Papua New Guinea. While it is popular in the United States it does not naturally grow here. So, high-quality kratom strains should always be sourced from a Southeast Asia country.
Harvesting Strains
Kratom will be harvested at the most optimal time. Red is the most mature, while white is the youngest form. A lot of people have the misconception that kratom strains and vein colors come from different trees, however, this is not right. Bali will all be offered on the same tree. It is the harvesting time that dictates the vein color.
- White - The purest form of kratom and harvested early on in the leaf life cycle.
- Green - Harvested at the midpoint of the leaf’s life cycle.
- Red - Most mature and harvested at the end of the kratom leaves life cycle.
- Yellow - Yellow vein kratom is created through a specialized drying process. While it may start as red it will transform into yellow when being dried.
Most kratom vendors will offer a variety of strains. You should note that yellow is the most unique form of kratom that is not easily accessed. So, you may find that your kratom vendor does not offer a large variety of yellow strains.
Please note that before taking any type of new supplement or herbs you should always consult with your family physician. They will have a good idea of your past medical history and rather or not kratom is good for you. . They are the only ones who are legally allowed to counsel you on kratom.
