About Kratom
How kratom has helped
Kratom helps people primarily by interacting with the body’s opioid receptors, which are involved in pain regulation, mood, and energy. Its effects depend on the dosage, and it can act as a stimulant at lower doses and a sedative or pain reliever at higher doses.
-Pain Relief
-Opioid Withdrawal Management
-Mood Enhancement & Anxiety Relief
-Increased Energy & Focus
-Better Sleep & Relaxation
-Reduction in Prescription Medication Use
-Chronic Condition Management

Green Strain
Green vein kratom is harvested before the leaves are fully matured, and it undergoes minimal processing. The alkaloids in the plant have not yet fully developed, leading to a balanced alkaloid profile, providing a blend of energizing and relaxing effects.
Unlike red strains, which are best known for sedation, and white strains, which are associated with stimulation, green kratom is considered a more middle-of-the-road homeopathic supplement
Red Strain
Red kratom, harvested from mature red-veined leaves, is the most popular among kratom users. The long drying process results in a dark color indicating a higher concentration of mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine alkaloids, the active ingredients that interact with receptors in the body for the varied effects of kratom use.
Red kratom is potent and fast-acting, making it popular for relief from migraines, arthritis, and other painful chronic conditions. People most often take red kratom as part of their night-time ritual due to its strong sedative effect.
White Strain
The kratom plant is a relative of the coffee family, and white vein kratom provides the uplifting, stimulating effects most often associated with drinking a cup of coffee. White kratom is differentiated from red and green kratom by its unique mix of natural compounds not found in mature leaves. Grinding of white kratom leaves begins after the leaves start to germinate.
The popularity of white vein kratom is a close second to red kratom. White kratom gives energy like caffeine, providing alertness and stamina, and is a popular morning or daytime energy boost and pick-me-up.
Gold (Yellow) Strain
Gold kratom is known for its unique properties, which result from the specific drying and fermentation processes used on the leaves.
Despite its name, “gold” kratom does not come from a naturally occurring strain; instead, it is typically made by mixing different strains, often red and white vein varieties, or by the special fermentation process.
KEEP IN MIND
While kratom offers potential benefits, it also poses several risks and dangers, especially when used improperly or in excessive amounts.
