Green Malaysian Kratom – The Strongest Strain

Green Malaysian Kratom – The Strongest Strain

wavatar

May 26, 2017 By John Reed 2 Comments

Kratom, also known as Mitragyna Speciosa, Kratum or Keetum, is an evergreen tree, from the same family as the coffee tree (Rubiaceae), indigenous to Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Papua New Guinea, where it has been used in traditional medicine since at least the nineteenth century, as a substitute for opioid painkillers, a sleep aid or as a recreational drug. The tree can grow to a height of 25 m (82 ft) tall, the trunk may grow to a 0.9 m (3 ft) diameter. The leaves are dark green and glossy, and can grow to over 14–20 cm (5.5–7.9 in) long and 7–12 cm (2.8–4.7 in) wide when fully open. Its leaves produce a psychoactive effect which can range from stimulation to sedation, sometimes even both. The use of kratom goes back several thousand years, it has a long history of human usage and is legal in many countries, being available mostly in online shops and some random stores or even gas stations. It was first formally documented by Dutch botanist Pieter Willem Korthals in the early 19th century. Given the fact that it grew in distinctly different areas, the plant has evolved to adapt to its environment, developing different types of strains, effects ranging between leafs of each strain.

CLASSIFICATION

If you are new to kratom and are just learning, there is a lot of information out there and the majority of it is confusing. For one, you have all these options in front of you and it is really hard to choose a strain if you have no idea what to expect or what each strain helps you with. The most common misconception about kratom is it being mistaken for a “legal high”. There are different varieties of Mitragyna Speciosa strains available for purchase. Reputable vendors use the standard names for strains. The names for kratom leaves cosist of the country the tree is from, the region the plant was picked and the color of the leaves veins. For example “Green Vein Indo” would tell the user that the product is from a green veined leaf from a tree in Indonesia. The difference between red, green or white veins leaves are as follows:

The Red veins leaf:

These are your sedating strains. After the initial rush of energy, the calming effects take over. Red vein is often used for pain relief and as a substitute for opiate detoxing.  Some users report that it gives them a euphoric feeling.

The Green and White veins leaves:

These are the energetic strains, the white ones being slightly higher in energy. These leaves produce more stimulating effects than red vein varieties. Green vein leaves are known for providing clearer thinking as well as extra endurance, and is preferred by active people, such as athletes and labor workers. Some users have reported that green vein leaves have been useful for anxiety and depression symptoms.

The most popular of kratom strains are:

Green Malaysian – This is a very popular strain. Green Malaysian is a long lasting energizing strain. It is easier than some other strains to take due to its pleasant taste. It is considered on the more euphoric side of the effect scale. When taken, the kratom effects can last up to 8 hours for a beginner and around 3-4 hours for an experienced user.

Bali – Bali kratom effects are both relaxing and energizing. Higher doses of bali kratom tend to be more relaxing, while lower doses produce stimulating effects. For a new user, the kratom effects can last around 5-6 hours. Experienced users may feel the effects for around 3 hours.

Red Vein Bali – This strain is also known for its balanced alkaloid content. It has a unique taste and is a bit more sedating. Red Veined Bali is often used for pain relief due to its sedating effects. It is also effective for opiate detoxing.

Green Vein Bali – Green-Veined Bali is found in Borneo and Sumatra. It has a high alkaloid level that resembles Maeng Da. This Mitragyna Speciosa strain is becoming popular because of its balanced level of alkaloids. The kratom effects are said to be both relaxing and slightly stimulating with waves of euphoria. A perfect balance of energy and sedation.

Thai – Thai kratom is known for energizing effects and as a sexual stimulant. It lasts for about 4-6 hours. Because Mitragyna Speciosa trees were banned in Thailand in 1943, Thai strains are grown in other countries, such as Malaysia and Indonesia.

There is a big variety, a big number of kratom strains, but in this article I am only focusing on the Malay strain, the Green Malaysian Kratom, one of the strongest strains.

The Green Malaysian Also known as Super Green Malaysian, Premium Malay, SGM, the Green Vein Malaysian is very well known and a pretty unique strain, with potency almost rivaling that of Maeng Da (Thai), and it is well-rounded, long lasting,  and energetic. The leaves of Malay Kratom are typically oval shades and have a dark green color, with an average size of 100-180 mm width and length. The veins of Malay Kratom leaves are either greenish-red or greenish-white with the latter being more potent.

Effects

  • Natural, all-day energy.
  • Mental concentration and clarity.
  • Excellent pain relief throughout muscles and joints.
  • Relief of stomach issues.
  • Anxiety relief.
  • Stress relief.
  • Muscle relaxer.
  • Help achieving a normal sleep schedule.
  • Calm state of mind.
  • Less social fear.
  • Ease of conversation.
  • Relief for chronic conditions like arthritis.
  • Sense of optimism.
  • Feelings of euphoria.
  • Lowered blood pressure

Green Malaysian has long been known as one of the longest-lasting strains due to leaf cell-wall density. Many people have remarks on this strain’s unique nootropic effects, which, despite heavy stimulation, can increase focus and patience for quite long periods of time. Interestingly, these effects are typically only noticed in retrospect due to its smooth character of effects. It helps in relieving chronic pain and aiding problems like osteoporosis, backache, migraine, etc. The most commonly found alkaloid in Malay Kratom leaves is Mitragynine, which is not soluble in water but is soluble in traditional organic solvents. The leaves of Malay Kratom act as powerful antioxidants, enhance the human body’s immunity and fight off damaged cells. Malay Kratom is useful for fighting off various cancers, and users have reported a boost in their chemotherapy results after simultaneously taking it. The alkaloids in the leaves are necessary to enhance mood and improve one’s health and balance hormones. When a user consumes Kratom, in whatever form, the effects that place usually happen simultaneously, meaning that shortly after eating or drinking Kratom, the user will experience euphoria (depending on the type of Kratom) alongside a boost in energy, an increase in appetite, relief from pain, etc. The problem with experiencing all these effects together is that they all go away together when the effects subside. Its main effect is to give energy, a boost in senses and a feeling of heightened happiness, joy or euphoria, as well as relief from chronic pain. The people suffering from a lack of concentration, boredom at work, anxiety, stress, and depression can use it to fix these issues. Naturally, it is the perfect strain for workaholics or professionals or even students. Also those suffering from chronic pain such as arthritis, osteoporosis, migraines, backaches, sciatica, etc. can significantly benefit from Green Malay Kratom pain relief properties. The effects of green Malay Kratom are the most long-lasting, which means extended relief from pain, heightened concentration and a boost in mood.

Dosage

A gram is the minimum dosage of Green Malay Kratom, whereas users say that 10 grams are the maximum dosage that a person can enjoy. Anything more than 10 grams in a day can be harmful to the human body. Reports from users show that the typical strain of green Malay Kratom ranges from 2 – 6 grams, with the most commonly reported dosage being of 2.5 – 4 grams. Keep in mind that smaller doses result in a more energetic experience, while larger doses tend to produce more calming and slow-speed effects. Green Malay Kratom dosage can also be taken according to one’s weight. If your weight is less than 70 kg or 150 pounds, then you should consume 2 – 3 grams per day. If your weight between 150 – 200 pounds, then you should take 3 – 4 grams per day, which amounts to 1.5 – 2 teaspoons a day. For those weighing more than 200 pounds, it is recommended that they start with 5 grams of kratom, which is equal to two and a half teaspoons of Green Malay kratom. These dosages are for those who are not very sensitive to kratom and are suitable for those wishing to experience milder effects. A precaution that one has to take with Green Malay kratom, due to its high potency, is not to take it on an empty stomach. Always eat something and take it one hour after eating, so that it does not sit on an empty stomach because this can lead to nausea, vomiting, dizziness and lack of concentration. If you do wish to take it on an empty stomach, the dosage should be 2 grams.

Preparation

There are a few popular methods of using powdered leaf, but the most common are “toss and wash“, mixing with food, and preparation as a tea. Even soap, or capsules can be made of kratom. But first of all, the leaves must be turned into powder. You can simply crunch up the leaves in your bare hand, being careful to collect the resulting dust on a piece of paper laid out on the table. You can also add dried leaves to an empty pepper mill (preferably a new one so no remnants of other spices remain), and grind them into a powder, or a small food processor or blender can accomplish the task well, though be sure to account for some kratom dust getting stuck to the blades. Here are some simple usage metods:

  • “Toss and wash” is basically just spooning the powder into your mouth and washing it down with a liquid. This is the most “difficult” method but likely gives the strongest effects. The powder is incredibly dry and will stick to your mouth and throat, causing many to gag or cough “blow” the dry powder out of their mouth. If using this method of consumption, it is best to spoon small amounts at a time.
  • Kratom can also be mixed into a food. One can mix it with ice cream or apple sauce, or mixing with chocolate milk or protein shakes. Keep in mind that kratom has a strong flavor and may not mix well in certain foods. Also, you will not reduce the efficacy of kratom if you take it with small amounts of food.
  • Preparation as a tea is convenient and effective. It is important to note that only powdered leaf should be used to make tea. Extracts should not be used. Start by measuring out between 1 teaspoon of powdered leaf. Boil 2-4 cups of water. The more water you use, the less strong the flavor, but as long as you drink it all the effects will be exactly the same. Put the kratom powder into a large cup or container with a pour lip, and pour the boiling water on top. Stir until it is thoroughly mixed. Be sure there aren’t any clumps of dry powder. Adding sugar it’s highly recommended, artificial sweeter, or honey (honey works the best to cut the bitterness), and stir. If using artificial sweetener, 2 packets is a good starting amount. Let sit until cool (at least 15 minutes), stirring occasionally. Once cooled, allow the powder to settle to the bottom. Pour the tea into a drinking cup, and enjoy! At this point you can add more sweetener to taste, or add water or ice cubes to dilute the flavor. As long as you drink all of the liquid, the effects will be the same.

Negative effects

Before you decide to jump in and give Kratom a try, it is important that you know what to expect from this botanical. Kratom effects can seem contradictory to the uninformed user. If more than 10 grams of Green Malay Kratom taken in one day, its adverse effects include slurred speech, difficulty in keeping track of thoughts, jitteriness, fidgeting and inability to concentrate on one thing. It can also make one extremely hyper, excessively talkative, nauseous or dizzy, especially if one suffers from vertigo or chronic migraines. Other users have reported excessive itchiness, sweating and red rashes on their legs. This is why, unless you are extremely tolerant, not more than 10 grams of Green Malay Kratom should be taken in a single day.

The users of Kratom strains recommend the use of Green Malay strain to experience a feeling of wellness and be able to go about your daily chores with a great amount of mental alacrity and soundness. However since the market is rife with a few adulterated varieties, it is often wise to check claims before making a purchase. Green Malay Kratom, if used wisely, is not only light for your pocket but also promises a host of other benefits as well.

Kratom Strains And Its Varied Benefits

Kratom Strains And Its Varied Benefits

wavatar

July 26, 2016 By John Reed 8 Comments

Kratom (Mitrayna speciose) is an evergreen tree native to Southeast Asia that is part of the coffee family. Unlike coffee, which has only one effect as a stimulant due to caffeine content, the multiple strains of Kratom are significantly different from one another.

So it is wise, particularly for those new to the use of Kratom, to understand which varieties produce which effects.

There are three primary uses for Kratom which people have found beneficial:

  • Medicinal: Although there have been no studies showing conclusive results, many users have found kratom quite useful for treating such conditions as opiate addiction, depression, anxiety, insomnia and as a general pain reliever.
  • Energy: Many varieties of kratom have varying levels of energy boosting properties, most of which do not have the edgy side effects of caffeine.
  • Recreational: Almost all strains of kratom have some pleasantly mood-altering properties. Since the leaf is not illegal in most of the world, it is a popular alternative to alcohol and illegal drugs for many users.

Start with the Colors

The broad categories of Kratom are based on the color of the plant stems and the largest vein that runs the length of each leaf. There are three main colors: white, red and green. However, there is also some difference between the light green and dark green varieties. So, for general purposes, you can say that there are actually four color-based varieties.

Let’s take a look at their known properties.

Kratom red vein borneo

Red Vein Kratom is probably the most often sold variety. It has a soothing effect that allows you to feel calm, with a great sense of well-being.

It is frequently used as a solution for three specific conditions.

  • Insomnia: The relaxing qualities of red veined kratom are considered by many to be perfectly suited for use as a sleep aid. So it is very popular with those who are suffering from insomnia.
  • Pain relief: The red strain of kratom seems to be the most effective at reducing pain and treating muscle tension, making it an attractive alternative to prescription pain medication.
  • Opiate Withdrawal: Believe it or not, the strongest extracts of red veined kratom have even met with some success in easing the withdrawal from opiates.
Kratom White Vein

White Vein Kratom may also contribute to a positive frame of mind. However, its effects are more energizing than the calming influence of the red vein variety.

This strain is recommended when looking to increase:

  • Increase Concentration
  • Promote Alertness
  • Combat Fatigue and Drowsiness

Since white vein kratom can usually produce these effects without causing anxiety or restlessness, it is a popular choice for those who are looking for a stimulant alternative to caffeine. Because of this, it is believed to be a good strain for those suffering from depression, though not necessarily the very best.

However, anyone who is particularly sensitive to caffeine may still find that white kratom could cause jitters or irritability, as well. Furthermore, just like coffee, this variety may also lead to insomnia or restless sleep when ingested too late in the day.

Green Veined Kratom

Green Vein Kratom is considered kind of a happy medium between the red and white veins, providing some of the benefits of each, but at a much more subtle level.

For instance, like the red strain, green vein kratom can be effective as a pain reliever. However, it is not so strong as to cause lethargy or drowsiness. Alternatively, it can be used to increase energy, focus and alertness like the white vein. But it does so without making you edgy.

Users of the green variety have spoken highly of its ability to provide clear thinking and endurance, as well as its effectiveness at dealing with symptoms of anxiety and depression.

What’s really interesting is that it’s not at all uncommon to mix leaves from all the strains together, in order to create a more balanced experience for whatever effect you are trying to obtain.

While the colors of each strain provide the broad categories, these are further refined by the locations in which the trees are grown.

It is fascinating to discover just how much difference this factor makes for this particular tree, when that is not normally the case for most trees. But it was found that specimens grown in hot houses did not contain all the properties of trees, as opposed to tress, which were grown in the wild!

Kratom Strains by Location

There are three main locations where the most potent strains of kratom are found: Indochina, Malaysia and Thailand. Their names have become as much a part of the variety of strains as colors, with individual products being referred to as Indo, Malay and Thai.

In fact, sometimes varieties are named even more specifically for an area in those regions. That is how important location is to these plants.

All three colors are available in both Indo and Malay varieties. However, Thai strains only include Red and Green-Veined strains. But this is not to say that Thailand is, in any way, inferior with kratom production.

In fact, an enhanced version of Thai varieties is currently considered the best all round strain of them all. Not technically named after a region, it is called Maeng Da.

Which Kratom Strain is Best for You?

With so many varieties of kratom available today, the choice can be overwhelming. However, there can be no one top choice, because it depends on which effect you are looking for.

Some days you may need more energy, while on other days you will seek help in winding down. There may be times you want more focus and mental clarity, and others when you need relief from pain.

Even for each of these reasons, there are multiple choices. And there is one factor that you will want to note for future reference.

In general, Indo strains will have a much longer lasting effect. While that may seem like an excellent quality at first glance, you should remember that there could be times when you will not want to be energetic or lethargic for more than a couple of hours at a time.

If you are considering kratom for a particular benefit, here are the varieties that are considered the most potent.

Maeng Da Kratom

Maeng Da – This strain is definitely of the stimulant variety, so it is an excellent energy booster. However, it has strong analgesic properties, as well. So if you are seeking pain relief without any lethargic side-effects, this one should work admirably. It also has the added bonus of euphoric qualities, which add an overall sense of well-being.

Bali and Borneo Kratom

Bali & Borneo – These are almost exactly the same. They are probably the absolute best in pain relief, and are second only to Maeng Da in mood lifting. That said, they do have sedating qualities you should be aware of. Although Borneo may be slightly less effective than Bali in that regard, if that should be important to you. Also worth noting is that both of these are Indo varieties, so they should have longer lasting effects.

Basically, these are both excellent at pain relief and mood lifting, but Maeng Da is a stimulant, while Bali and Borneo are sedatives. If you are seeking an energy booster, or increased alertness, then you will want the stimulating qualities of Maeng Da. If you are need help winding down, or are trying to combat insomnia, then the Bali and Borneo strains will be most effective.

It is extremely important to note that everyone’s body chemistry is different, so it is not reasonable to expect reactions to be exactly the same across the board.

Also, while kratom can be used as tea, it is bitter, so many people prefer capsules, which are available in different dosages. Naturally, it is advisable to start with smaller dosages, in order to gauge effect on your individual body chemistry. The leaf may also be smoked, but doing so will not increase the strength of effects.

There are usually many varieties available for purchase, often with detailed descriptions of each. And here’s the kicker: it is sometimes possible to buy a variety pack containing smaller amounts of multiple strains. This makes it possible to try various ones, in order to discover which is best suited to the effects that you desire.

So it should always be possible to make an informed decision before buying, particularly since you now have the basics that were described here.
