Kratom is a tree that’s native to Southeast Asia and a close relative of the coffee plant. Its leaves have been harvested for centuries and used in a variety of ways. But, some of the first recorded use was logged by 19th-century, local field laborers. Many farmers like to chew or drink steeped Kratom leaves to help boost their productivity while working the fields – or to manage their life, after a long day of hard work. 

Today, Kratom is processed as a powder, extract, tablet, or chewable. The latter is a favorite for its potency and portability. Kratom extract chewables are reportedly used to help improve, and assist with managing what’s going on in the day.

Just how much Kratom impacts you depends on the type of Kratom extracts chewables being used, the strain, and the dosage and ratio taken.

What Is Kratom Made Of? 

 

What Is Kratom Made Of

The Kratom plant has dozens of active compounds, each with its own unique set of properties. According to the National Library of Medicine, the majority of these active components fall under the categories of indole or oxindole alkaloids:

  • Indole alkaloids have been studied to act on the central and peripheral nervous systems and may contain both energizing and sedative properties (with dosage strength and volume dictating exactly how it can improve). 
  • Oxindole alkaloids may contain both antimicrobial and antiviral properties and may interact with neurotransmitters in the brain to impact health as well.

The National Library of Medicine also reports that four active compounds make up over 90% of the alkaloid content found in Kratom:

  • Mitragynine: Composing roughly 65% of Kratom’s total alkaloid content, Mitragynine is the biggest compound found in most Kratom strains. 
  • Paynantheine: Kratom’s second-most prevalent alkaloid, Paynantheine, is reportedly known for its improvement on the individuals day and how they perceive it.
  • Speciogynine: The third-most prevalent alkaloid in Kratom is Speciogynine. This trace compound is still being studied heavily to better understand its characteristics. But, preliminary studies suggest Speciogynine may contribute to a better overall sense of just being you again.
  • 7-hydroxymitragynine: Sometimes called “7-OH”, 7-hydroxymitragnine seems to be most prevalent in Borneo Red Kratom. In high levels, this compound may help promote the overall daily routine.

What Kratom Strains Are Used to Make Kratom Chewable Extracts?

 

What Kratom Strains Are Used to Make Kratom Chewable Extracts?

Even though all Kratom comes from the same species (Mitragyna speciosa), there are numerous variations or strains, like Red Bali, Kratom green strains, White vein kratom like White Lightning, and many others. Kratom strains are largely defined by their leaf and vein colors. The colors also correspond to how old the leaves were when harvested – and how potent their alkaloid levels may be.

There are four main Kratom leaf vein strains used to make Kratom extract chewables: White, green, red, and yellow. Although there can be a spectrum of varying effects within each Kratom vein color, the following overviews capture the main effects of each type.

  • White Vein Kratom

Kratom with white veins is typically considered the most active for the day (with some exceptions). The pale color reflects the youth of the Kratom leaves at harvest time. Having been exposed to less sunlight, White Vein Kratom may be younger, but is generally considered the strongest strain of Kratom. 

As we like to say with our White Malay strain of White Vein Kratom, “Throw out the coffee, this will do!”

  • Green Vein Kratom

Harvested at middle age, Green Vein Kratom is milder than White Vein. This makes it a popular choice for many Kratom customers. 

With a mid-range alkaloid level, Green Vein Kratom may provide more balance to your work-week and an improved spiritual enlightenment.

  • Red Vein Kratom

The color of Red Vein Kratom leaves is due to its longer maturity. Its age contributes to the more mellow potency of Kratom, too.

Red vein kratom is a good choice for those who want an overall improvement to their day and night if they so choose. Red vein Kratom is a great choice at any time of the day to help with many things.

  • Yellow Vein Kratom

A combination of two or more leaf vein types, and produced through a different drying process to achieve its unique color, Yellow Vein Kratom can be a little tricky to use. Due to the combination of different Kratom leaf strains, the potency and consistency of yellow vein Kratom often vary, not just from supplier to supplier, but even from batch to batch.

Most often, Green and Red Vein Kratom are combined to make this strain. This means Yellow vein kratom has a balance to it that our customers enjoy daily.
