Green Malay Kratom may be the ultimate in versatility.
Both parts of its identity, “Green” and “Malay”, are all about a middle-of-the-road approach that, with proper dosage, can offer virtually any kratom experience you desire.
This is the jack-of-all-trades strain, and the perfect desert island pick.
What Is Green Malay Kratom?
The strain originated from Malaysia — hence the name.
This strain is known for offering a broad range of benefits that highlight this botanical’s versatility.
Let’s discuss Green Malay kratom, what it offers users, dosage, side effects to watch out for, and how to use it effectively.
What is Green Malay Kratom used for?
Green Malay Kratom is the perfect jack-of-all-strains pick. It’s an exemplar of the classic green strain: a perfect anytime option that, with the proper dosage, can offer virtually any of kratom’s effects. Proper dosage is always important with kratom, but even more so for a strain with such customizable effects.
That said, please note that kratom vendors like Kratom Spot are barred from making specific claims about kratom strains’ effects. As such, we recommend that you start your research with a reputable source such as the American Kratom Association.
However, we can say this about Green Malay Kratom:
-
Perfect Daytime Pick
Green Malay Kratom is an excellent pick for morning and daytime use. Because of the balanced effects that Green Malay Kratom offers, it is a more gentle option than many strains, especially white ones.
-
Getting Through the Work Grind
Green Malay Kratom is often selected for daytime use, and especially by those who are looking to get through long days at the office without experiencing a late-day slump.
-
End-Of-Day Transition
Green Malay Kratom is not as potent for end-of-day use as many strains, especially red ones. However, its middle-of-the-road approach is better than many other green strains for transitioning into an evening of relaxation.
Side Effects of Green Malay Kratom
Green Malay kratom, like any other substance, can be abused if it isn’t used with the proper level of respect or intention.
High doses of Green Malay can lead to uncomfortable side effects, such as:
- Digestive issues (nausea, vomiting, constipation)
- Dizziness
- Anxiety
- Dehydration, dry skin, frequent urination, dry mouth
- Increased heart rate
- Headache
While these effects are typically short-lived, there are no life-threatening or health-threatening side effects associated with kratom use.
If you experience side effects, you can lessen the dosage or stop using it daily. In addition, if you’re taking kratom, you can minimize some of the most unpleasant effects on your digestive system by drinking plenty of water.

Green Malay Kratom Dosage Guide
Green Malay Kratom is not a weak strain, but its versatility and “jack of all trades” qualities mean that it won’t feel like a particularly strong one, either. Nonetheless, Green Malay Kratom should be respected, as this seeming mildness is the result of balanced kratom alkaloids, and not low potency!
As always, it’s in your best interest to start out small when trying a new strain, and Green Malay Kratom is no exception.
Everybody’s different. Personal factors such as age, weight, and kratom tolerance will affect proper kratom dosage.
- Those new to kratom should start with a lesser dose. Beginners don’t know what to expect, how much to take, or how it will impact them.
- More experienced users may need a higher dose of Green Malay. Likewise, tolerance requires a higher dose to feel the desired effects.
- Weight is another factor. Lower-weight people need a lesser dose.
You’ll typically begin to feel the effects of your dose within 10 to 15 minutes after consumption. It will gradually build before reaching a peak, then gradually decline. All told, the effects should last somewhere between two to five hours, depending on the strain’s potency and the size of your dose.
It’s always a good idea to consult your physician before beginning to use a new supplement such as kratom. That’s especially true if you’re currently taking prescription medications, as kratom can interfere with the dosage of several common prescription drugs.
Where to Buy Green Malay Kratom
Green Malay Kratom has a broad appeal for a wide range of users, making it a popular strain — though not the most common one to find on your local headshop’s shelves.
That said, buying online at a reputable vendor like Kratom Spot is almost always a better idea. Buying online offers better prices, better selection, and fresher products.
When selecting an online vendor, there are a few important things to look out for.
- Above all, always make sure that the vendor can provide lab reports (“Certificates of Analysis”) that prove the potency of their product and testing for heavy metals and other contaminants. Never buy from a kratom vendor who cannot provide these.
- Look for quality and quantity of user reviews.
- Make sure that reviews are authentic; reviews verified by YotPo, TrustPilot, or similar service are ideal.
How to Use Green Malay Kratom
There are a number of ways to take kratom, and every user will have a different preference. Here are a few of the most popular methods.
-
Drinking Green Malay Kratom Powder
Simply stir your dose of kratom into a beverage of your choice. Matching with mango or orange juice is always a good idea, especially for those who dislike the taste of kratom powder. Note that kratom does not dissolve in water, so there will be clumpage.
-
“Toss & Wash” Green Malay Kratom
“Toss and Wash” refers to the practice of putting your dose of kratom powder directly in your mouth, then immediately taking a big sip of water, juice, or other beverage to wash it all down in a few quick gulps. Pro tips: do not breather through your mouth before swallowing the powder, and do not use a carbonated beverage.
-
Green Malay Kratom Capsules
Green Malay Kratom capsules are perfect for eliminating the taste of kratom, the need to measure out your dose, and any and all cleanup. They’re also great for taking at work, school, or when you’re otherwise out and about, as they’re unlikely to draw much attention. You can even save a few bucks by investing in a kratom capsule maker and making the kratom capsules yourself.
-
Make a Kratom Tea
Kratom tea is one of the most popular ways to take your dose of kratom. By simmering kratom powder in water or a traditional tea, you can extract kratom’s alkaloids from the powder and make a potent and effective kratom tea. Adding citrus or another tasty acid while simmering is highly recommended, as this helps extract the alkaloids and protect them from degrading in the heat. It will also help your Green Malay Kratom taste even better.
-
Mix Green Malay Kratom With Food
Sprinkling a bit of kratom powder on your food is a great way to enjoy your favorite strain. With the right combination of flavors, kratom’s earthy taste can actually become a worthy complement that enhances your dish.
-
Parachuting Kratom
Parachuting or “bombing” kratom involves wrapping your dose in an easily digestible wrapper, then swallowing it in the same way you would a capsule. Using toilet paper or oblate discs as your parachute wrapper is extremely common. This method eliminates taste and may allow for slightly faster onset than with kratom capsules.
Final Thoughts: Green Malay Kratom
