About kratom

What is Kratom

Kratom comes from the leaves of Mitragyna speciosa, a tree native to Southeast Asia. It’s commonly sold as powder, capsules, tea, or extracts and is used for a range of effects that depend heavily on dose.

What people use it for

Low doses: mild stimulation, focus, energy
Moderate doses: mood lift, relaxation
Higher doses: pain relief, sedation

How it works (high level)

Its main alkaloids (mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine) interact with opioid receptors, which explains both its pain-relieving effects and its risks.

Green Kratom

Green Powder Kratom

Considered the “middle ground” between white and red.
Often reported to give:
- Mild energy and stimulation
- Moderate balance of calm and clarity
- Slight mood enhancement without intense sedation
Some users describe it as more smooth and balanced — less stimulating than white but less sedating than red.
Good for: daytime use when you want moderate focus + steadiness.

Commonly chosen for:
- Energy and alertness
- Focus and mental clarity
- Mood uplift (some users compare it to coffee-like effects)
Typical use timing: morning or early afternoon.

Red Kratom

🍂 Red Powder Kratom

Named for the darker/red veins in mature leaves.

Can also be chosen for pain relief because of these more sedating qualities.
