White Vein Kratom Strain Guidebook: What Is White Kratom & How Kratom Use Effects Your Everyday

White Vein Kratom is one of the most popular strains of Kratom for many reasons. Revered for their potentially energizing effects – rather than the more calming effects of Red Kratom strains, for example – White Vein types of Kratom are highly useful and effective wellness tools to have on your Kratom shelf at home. Rely on these when your day needs a motivational boost and you want to tap into a broad array of Kratom benefits.

All veins and strains of Kratom come from a plant of rich cultural importance to Southeast Asian cultures in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Borneo. Mitragyna speciosa, or the Kratom tree, is related to the coffee plant, and in its native environment can tower up to 100 feet tall. Traditionally, the leaves were chewed by workers who wanted their workdays to go by more pleasantly. Thankfully today, you don’t have to scale a towering Kratom tree to reap its benefits at home.

Kat’s Botanicals specializes in importing, testing, and shipping the best Kratom products for sale sourced from the most reputable vendors. When it comes to White Vein Kratom in particular, we get a lot of questions from those new to the strain. So, we’ve compiled this White Vein Kratom Guidebook to use as a reference. Read on to learn all about this well-loved strain and how it may enhance even your toughest days!

WHAT IS WHITE VEIN KRATOM?

While there is only one species of Kratom tree, there are myriad methods of cultivating, harvesting, and processing the plant matter. These different harvesting methods yield leaf veins that vary in color. Alongside Red Vein and Green Vein Kratom, White Vein is one of the leaf vein color variations resulting from different Kratom post-harvest processing methods.

As the Kratom leaf is dried using one of many different techniques, the profile of active compounds changes in the Kratom. When this happens, the coloration of the leaf vein also changes. The use of the word ‘Vein’ is a reference to the leaf venation that is found on the undersides of the Kratom leaf itself.

White Vein Kratom powders are lighter due to their lighter leaf vein origins, taking on a paler hue than other ground Kratom powders. Kratom aficionados loosely refer to this coloring as “white”.

The effects of White Vein Kratom can be classified as uplifting. While other Kratom strains are known for promoting feelings of calm or tranquility, White Vein Kratom is used to enhance motivation and feelings of optimism.

WHITE KRATOM EFFECTS & ALKALOID CONTENT

Alkaloids are the bioactive compounds found in all types of Kratom. In the case of White Vein Kratom, two specific alkaloids are largely responsible for the effects the herb provides. They are Mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine. While virtually all Kratom tree leaves have higher concentrations of Mitragynine than 7-hydroxymitragynine, the latter has a much more pronounced effect.

It’s important to note that Kratom leaves also contain up to two dozen or more ancillary alkaloids that work to synergize with Mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine. Some of these include:

• Mitraciliatine
• Isomitrafoline
• Mitraversine
• Stipulatine
• Corynoxine A and B
• Many, many more

Learn more about every type of alkaloid in our Kratom Alkaloid Guide.

Each type of Kratom – Red Vein, White Vein, Green Vein, and combinations of those – has its own unique alkaloid makeup and flavor profile, producing nuanced user experiences. In addition, White Vein Kratom from different areas – like JongKong or Borneo, for example – adds to the vibe of your experience. Each tropical region grows Kratom with its own contributing undertones and textured flavor.

This is why it’s important to try different strains of White Vein before you decide which one is your favorite! The White Vein experience, as we mentioned, tends to lean toward uplifting, motivating, and lasting effects suitable for daytime use.

WHITE VEIN ORIGINS & PROCESSING

Most Kratom strains (80%+) start as Red Vein Kratom. The leaves have red veins when they are harvested from the Kratom tree. Red Vein Kratom trees are especially hardy and outlive the other, rarer varieties of Kratom tree. So, naturally, they’re easier to grow commercially.

White Vein and Green Vein Kratom trees do exist in the wild. But, these trees are very rare, and not as likely to survive their growing environment as a Red Vein Kratom tree is.

Kratom tree farmers choose the leaves from two main sources:

• Wild: Kratom trees that grow in the wild are not given prescribed water, nutrients, or metered sunlight.
• Plantation-grown: Kratom plantations will actively sow, farm, and harvest Kratom trees in defined areas. These cultivated trees are given specified water treatments, nutrients, and sunlight exposure.

These two cultivation methods develop alkaloid profiles that are quite different even before the drying process begins. To produce the White Vein variations, our experienced cultivars hand-harvest the leaves at perfect maturation and bring them indoors for a few days of sheltered drying. Then, the leaves are taken back outdoors to complete their development in direct sunlight.

It’s important to note that some distributors and suppliers use their own color categories to differentiate their products. Because there are no industry standards for color mixing ratios, one company’s “White” could be a blending of other veins and strains. That’s why it’s important to review all product materials and purchase Kratom from a supplier that understands the international Kratom market.

Kat’s Botanicals is unique in that we have direct supplier relationships with the Kratom farmers themselves, and we send our Kratom products through a disciplined gamut of testing, ensuring that our customers get only the purest, most effective White Vein Kratom available anywhere.

Note: Kats Botanicals is proud to have American Kratom Association status as a vendor.

VARIETIES & FORMS OF WHITE VEIN

Here in the West, love for Kratom’s effects is bringing a variety of Kratom products to our shelves – including well-loved White Vein varieties like:

• White Borneo
• White Maeng Da
• White Bali
• White Elephant
• White Horn
• and more!

Like other Kratom products, White Vein Kratom comes in a variety of forms like powders, capsules, or Kratom extracts. White Vein Kratom is also popular within Kratom blends, which combine different strains of Kratom for synergistic effects.

White Vein Kratom is typically available in five different formats:

• Crushed leaf
• Stem-and-vein
• Loose powder
• Encapsulated powder
• Extracts

CRUSHED LEAF

Crushed leaf White Vein Kratom has a consistency that is similar to tea leaves. It’s not ground down as fine as powder, and it’s a great option for making brewed Kratom beverages.

STEM-AND-VEIN

Just like it sounds, stem-and-vein White Vein Kratom contains a slightly different alkaloid profile compared with dry leaves.

This variety of Kratom is popular for those who want to ‘switch up’ their Kratom dosage routine. What’s more, stem-and-vein Kratom takes longer for the body to process, meaning the active alkaloids remain present in the body for up to 50% longer than powdered leaf Kratom.

LOOSE POWDER

The loose powder form of White Vein Kratom is suggested for first-time Kratom users.

This is because dosing is easy, and it’s the perfect way to gauge how your body reacts to the White Vein Kratom plant alkaloids.

ENCAPSULATED POWDER

Not a fan of the taste of Kratom? No problem! White Vein Kratom is available as one of the best Kratom capsules, with per-capsule dosages ranging from 500 mg to one gram.

White Vein Kratom capsules are a great option for discrete, convenient Kratom dosing without having to deal with measuring the powder yourself.

EXTRACTS

For more advanced Kratom users, White Vein Kratom extracts are available. These products are highly concentrated distillations of the plant matter, and they definitely pack a punch!

Kat’s Botanicals recommends extracts as a way to augment existing Kratom dosing regimens, and we don’t suggest them for those new to the herb.

DOSING INFORMATION FOR WHITE KRATOM STRAINS

One of the most common questions we get from those looking to try White Vein Kratom is how much to take. Generally speaking, a good ‘default’ dosage size is about 2.4 grams – roughly the size of a level teaspoon. Corresponding extract dosages will be much smaller in volume, as extracts can be as potent as 50x the strength of loose powder.

It’s not recommended to exceed more than two doses of any Kratom product in a 24-hour period.

Hot Tip: If you aren’t getting enough out of your Kratom dose, switch to a stronger White Vein product, or learn how to potentiate kratom.

USING WHITE KRATOM FOR THE BEST BENEFITS

For thousands of years, the Kratom tree has been used by traditional communities native to southeast Asia. The leaves of the kratom plant are commonly chewed fresh from the tree, or dried and pulverized to create a powder that can be easily dissolved into water, coffee, or tea.

Because of the strong, earthy taste of Kratom powder, it’s common to add other flavor enhancers like orange juice or other fruit concentrates. Some people who take Kratom get used to the taste and are able to take the powder on its own as part of the ‘Toss and Wash’ dosing technique. Still others prefer to find Kratom recipes that mix with foods such as yogurt, oatmeal, or apple sauce.

In recent years, Kratom has gained an enormous following here in the United States. People throughout the country are discovering the powerful benefits that can come from the responsible, informed use of this amazing plant.

KATS BOTANICALS FOR THE BEST WHITE VEIN

We ensure all batches undergo Kratom testing for detailed informetion on the presence of heavy metals, bacteria, and other pathogens. Any shipment we receive that contains harmful contaminants is immediately isolated and destroyed or returned to the supplier.
