A GUIDE TO MALAY KRATOM

Malaysian Kratom remains one of the most popular types of Kratom on the market. With several Malaysian Kratom strains available, people have the ability to choose which one suits their needs the best so they can fine-tune their research for the desired results.

For people new to Kratom, however, understanding exactly what Malay is can be difficult. While Kratom is readily available online, due to increasingly strict regulatory requirements, information from authoritative sources is hard to come by. This leads to plenty of misunderstandings about the distinction between types of Kratom.

Luckily, our Guide to Malay Kratom is here to help! We’ll get you set up with everything you need to know to understand when Malay Kratom is your best pick — as well as give you some basic background on where it’s from and the like. Let’s dive right in!

Where is Malay Kratom From?

As suggested by its name, Malay Kratom comes from the Southeast Asian island of Malaysia. In its traditional usage, fresh kratom leaves were chewed by laborers in order to increase their work performance. 

The hot, moist air combines with naturally acidic soil to create soil that is perfect for growing the unique strain of kratom that evolved there — which, of course, is Malay Kratom. Malay Kratom trees thrive in the humid climate that Malaysia provides. It’s typically grown on family-owned farms. These trees are grown in large, open fields, with plenty of space in between them so that they get ample sun and water, resulting in the best possible product..

What Makes Malay Kratom Distinct?

As with any strain of kratom, deciding on the right one all comes down to the strain’s unique blend of effects.

Unlike some other strains, which lend themselves heavily to either daytime or nighttime use, Malay Kratom strains tend to strike a middle-of-the-line balance. Of the geographic regions, Malay Kratom is most like green kratom strains — striving for equilibrium and a one-strain-for-all-seasons experience.

Why Choose Malay Kratom?

Choose Malay Kratom if you’re looking for a versatile strain option that is appropriate for almost any time of day or experience.

That said, if you choose a more day-focused strain (white) or night-focused strain (red), then Malay will subtly balanceout those effects, bringing them slightly more towards the middle than you’d get with a “pure” white or red experience.

How Kratom is Categorized

Kratom is usually sold by location grown and vein color, with these variations being referred to as “strains” by the Kratom community at large. In reality, it is the same plant, just grown in different areas with leaves taken from different parts of the tree. While the region’s rainforests are largely similar, they are not identical, and Kratom grown in Thailand can be different than Malaysian Kratom in active chemical content and the effects that the active compounds have on your research.

How Kratom Strains are Sold

In addition to geographical origin and vein color, Kratom is also sold as powders and extracts, with some people also referring to these as different strains. The extract, however, is just a purified version of the active compounds from the usual powder. As an example, you might see green, red, white, and ultra-Malaysian Kratom Strains listed for sale. We’ve adopted this standard industry nomenclature ourselves so we can share familiar terminology with our customers.

Ensuring Your Kratom’s Quality

When buying Kratom, it’s important to make sure you’re getting your money’s worth. Kratom quality begins to degrade as soon as it is harvested, and fresher Kratom will give you better results due to its intact potency. The first step to ensuring you are getting good kratom is to use a reputable supplier who can move it through its production stages and get it shipped to you quickly. One of the reasons we work directly with local suppliers is to ensure we know the providence of our Kratom. This lets you ensure you’re not getting “last year’s leftovers.”

Inspecting Malay Kratom

Once you get your Malaysian Kratom, perform a full inspection. Powders should be a rich, vibrant green. Fleck tinged with the vein color may be present, but the overall hue should still be an overall green. The powder should have a fine, soft texture that looks almost fluffy when loosely packed. Powders that are coarse and chunky may have been poorly processed or had chemicals used that changed the natural structure of the product. Duller or faded colors could be a sign of age.

Your nose can be another indicator of quality. Whatever the Malaysian Kratom strain, it should have a natural aroma. This can be the bitter tang of the alkaloids mixed with the general smell of vegetation. It should not smell like mold, which can be a sign your Kratom was contaminated by poor processing or became wet in transit. In addition, a strong chemical odor may mean your Malaysian Kratom was processed using harsh chemicals that were not fully removed during processing.
