What is White Vein Kratom?

Whether red, green, or white, all kratom originates from the same source: the leaves of the kratom tree, also known as Mitragyna speciosa. The Mitragyna speciosa tree is native to Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and other regions in Southeast Asia. A relative of the coffee plant, kratom’s broad, oval leaves are a waxy green with ridged veins. 

In precolonial times, the indigenous people of Southeast Asia discovered that kratom leaves offer powerful effects. When chewed raw or brewed into a tea, the leaves provided an increase of focus and motivation, sustained stamina, and general relief from the discomfort of working in the balmy tropical environment. Kratom has been used in home remedies and cultural ceremonies for centuries.

Kratom’s effects come from naturally occurring plant compounds called alkaloids. When ingested, our bodies metabolize alkaloids and experience a range of potential benefits and sensations. One of the most common alkaloids – which you may even be enjoying as you read this article – is caffeine. While kratom is related to the coffee plant, it doesn’t contain caffeine alkaloids. Instead, the alkaloids in kratom are called mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine.

White Kratom vs. Other Strains

All kratom varieties contain the two alkaloids mentioned above. However, as the leaves age, the chemical concentration shifts. The veins of the leaves also change color. That’s why the three primary kratom strains are named for their vein color. 

By assessing the color of the veins in the leaves, you can understand the alkaloid balance and anticipate the kratom strain’s effects.

• White Vein Kratom: The youngest leaves, with pale-yellow veins and the highest ratio of mitragynine to 7-hydroxymitragynine.

• Green Vein Kratom: The “middle aged” leaves, which have grassy-grein veins and a smooth balance of both alkaloids.

• Red Vein Kratom: The oldest leaves, whose veins are reddish brown and indicate a dominant concentration of 7-hydroxymitragynine.

The mitragynine that’s dominant in white vein kratom is known for producing a “get up and go” effect that helps users concentrate and feel higher levels of motivation. However, it’s important to note that kratom strains may affect every individual differently. At high doses, even white vein kratom may have a mild calming effect.

Factors such as your history of kratom use, body mass, hydration levels, and whether you take kratom on an empty stomach may alter how your body processes the alkaloids in white kratom. Some individuals are also naturally more (or less) sensitive.

White Vein Kratom Specialty Strains

In addition to the three “primary strains,” which are designated by vein color, you may also encounter specialty strains of kratom. Like tea, coffee, and wine, kratom is affected by the environment where it grows. Soil composition, sunlight, humidity levels, elevation, and other region-specific factors can subtly influence the leaves.

Although it may take time to refine your palate, eventually you’ll notice subtle yet noteworthy differences beyond the unique effects of white versus red or green. In addition to regional strain differences, there are also sub-strains known for being ultra-premium quality. 

When you’re ready to broaden your horizons, try these white vein kratom specialty strains:

• White Maeng Da: Maeng da is Thai for “pimp grade,” which refers to the fact that this kratom is made using only the very highest quality leaves. Its effects are known to be extra potent, so each dose gives you more bang for your buck.

• White Vein Bali: A strain from Indonesia, users report that Bali kratom is smoother and more grounding than other varieties due to a slightly denser alkaloid concentration.

• White Borneo: Grown on the island of Borneo, this kratom strain is said to be more mood-enhancing and promotes a greater sense of tranquility.

• White Vein Indo: White Indo is another popular Indonesian strain, which imbues users with a revitalizing focus that’s invigorating and boosts motivation.

Why Do People Use White Kratom? 

So what is white vein kratom used for? People all over the globe enjoy white kratom for a variety of reasons. As with any kratom strain, white vein helps soothe and promotes an increased sense of overall well-being. Users also love kratom because it’s 100% natural. 

With its higher concentration of mitragynine alkaloids, white vein kratom offers an uplifting effect that provides a burst of vitality and a steady supply of stamina. Many kratom lovers compare white vein to caffeine, but without the jitters or crash. In fact, some people have used white vein kratom to quit coffee and energy drinks. It’s the perfect strain for mornings and daytime use.

Other reasons people take white kratom include:

Pre-Workout 

Pre-workout supplements help enhance your exercise performance. Many people take pre-workout powders or capsules before going to the gym or engaging in endurance sports because they provide more energy. However, commercial pre-workouts are often high in sugars and artificial ingredients.

For a natural, plant-based alternative, many people take white vein kratom before a workout for a boost of stamina. The alkaloids in white vein kratom may also offer soothing benefits to promote recovery.

Improved Concentration

Mitragynine is also said to improve concentration. Many people add a scoop of white vein kratom powder, which is highest in mitragynine, to their morning smoothies or lattes for a boost of focus. This helps them get through the day with more concentration and motivation, reducing mental noise and distraction. 

Professionals, students, or anyone who needs to focus intently for long periods can benefit from trying white kratom. The next time you feel a post-lunch slump coming on, consider taking some white vein capsules instead of reaching for an energy drink or coffee.

Traveling

Struggling with jet lag and travel stress? White vein kratom is an excellent strain to enjoy on-the-go. Many travelers take white vein kratom to help them get through a long day on the road or shuffling through airports. The vitality-enhancing effects of white strains provide steady stamina, as well as stress-busting benefits. 

However, be mindful that kratom is largely unregulated. In some regions, it may be restricted or banned. Always check the local laws about kratom in your travel destination to avoid potential legal problems.

Social Settings

Additionally, white vein kratom elevates mood and lets users enjoy themselves more freely. The bright, clean, invigorating sensation of white vein kratom is pleasantly uplifting and helps users feel less inhibited in social situations. Many people take white vein kratom as a natural alternative to alcohol or other substances to feel more at-ease in social settings.

White Vein Kratom Potential Side Effects

Like all kratom, white vein strains are natural and – when purchased from a certified vendor that conducts third-party lab testing – contain no harmful additives or artificial ingredients. Still, some side effects may occur in rare instances. The most common potential side effects are:

• Increased heart rate
• Nausea or upset stomach
• Dry mouth
• Headache
• Dehydration

To reduce the likelihood of white vein kratom side effects, make sure you drink plenty of nonalcoholic fluids while you use kratom and don’t take it on an empty stomach.

Don’t take white vein kratom or other strains if you are pregnant or nursing. Also, if you have any underlying health conditions or take prescription medication, it’s important to talk to your doctor before trying kratom. If you experience side effects of white kratom, discontinue use immediately.

How Do You Take White Vein Kratom?

Taking white vein kratom is easy and convenient. Whether you’re constantly on-the-go or you have lots of time to kill in the kitchen, there’s a multitude of ways to ingest kratom. Have fun and get creative! Generally, people take white vein kratom in the form of raw powder or capsules.

White Vein Kratom Powder

White kratom powder is made from leaves that have been harvested, cured, and pulverized into a fine powder. Raw kratom has a grassy, slightly earthy flavor that’s somewhat of an acquired taste, so many users prefer to mix it with other ingredients. You can add kratom powder to smoothies, protein shakes, or even recipes for homemade candies and baked goods. 

However, some kratom enthusiasts use a technique known as “toss ‘n’ wash.” As the name suggests, this involves tossing a pinch of kratom powder into your mouth and washing it down with water or another nonalcoholic beverage. While the taste and texture may not appeal to everyone, the toss ‘n’ wash is a fast and effective way to enjoy your kratom.

Others “parachute” kratom powder. Parachuting is a process where users place kratom powder into an edible wrapper, such as an oblate disc or rice paper pouch. 

White Vein Kratom Capsules

Kratom capsules are made by packing raw kratom powder into a dissolvable capsule shell. They’re a premeasured, easy, and discreet way to take kratom at any time of day. Simply pop a few capsules into your mouth, swallow, and enjoy.

You can purchase premade capsules or make your own. To make DIY kratom capsules, buy a capsule-filling machine, empty shells, and kratom powder. Making your own kratom capsules allows you to create custom blends of different strains of kratom. 

It’s also a great option for individuals who may have dietary restrictions or allergies to ingredients used in commercially-available capsule shells. At Kratom Spot, all our capsules are plant-based and allergen-friendly, but some suppliers may use capsules made from other ingredients.

Teas, Extracts, and Drinks

Finally, you’ll also find a wide variety of kratom teas (including loose leaf kratom to make your own), kratom extracts, and kratom drinks. 

• Kratom Tea: A soothing, peaceful way to enjoy kratom. Simply steep in hot (not boiling) water and enjoy in your favorite mug.

• Kratom Extracts: A concentrated form of kratom made by infusing kratom leaves into an alcohol or oil base. Note that kratom extracts are typically much stronger than kratom powder or capsules, so err on the side of caution with dosing.

• Kratom Drinks: Kratom drinks like sodas, seltzers, and shots are a popular new way to enjoy kratom on-the-go or with friends at a party.

On Dose Sizes: Start Low, Go Slow

Now if you’re wondering how much white kratom to take, remember the adage, “start low, go slow.” Everyone’s body metabolizes kratom differently. Until you know how kratom affects you, don’t overdo it. Start with the lowest possible dose and increase your serving slowly, after you’ve adjusted to the kratom’s effects. Remember, you can always take more kratom later.

Where to Buy White Kratom

White vein kratom is available in a variety of retail settings, from online stores to smoke and vape shops. But not all vendors follow the same quality and safety standards. Unfortunately, kratom is not currently federally regulated in the United States. That’s why consumer advocacy groups like the American Kratom Association have established independent guidelines for kratom production and sales.

When a vendor is certified by the American Kratom Association, it reflects their dedication to quality, freshness, and safety. These vendors generally use third-party labs to analyze their kratom and guarantee it’s accurately labelled, potent, and free from cross-contamination or harmful pathogens.
