White Vein Kratom Buying Guide

A Guide to Buying White Vein Kratom

There are many different kratom blends, but we normally talk about them in terms of color. Different colors of kratom are normally associated with their own unique properties, which is why so many people tend to gravitate toward one type or the other. The color of a kratom leaf may give some insights into its natural chemical composition, which is why we categorize kratom powder this way.

While there are a few other types of kratom blends, most strains fall into one of three main categories:

  1. Red Vein Kratom
  2. White Vein Kratom
  3. Green Vein Kratom

White kratom is especially popular among people who like to buy kratom powder for the daytime. If you like some of the characteristics of red kratom powder, but want something a little bit more invigorating, it may be worth looking into white kratom powder. Many of our customers say that buying white kratom makes them feel uplifted and euphoric, which is certainly a big part of the appeal of these strains and blends.

Understanding Alkaloids in White Kratom Powder

Everyone has their own reasons for buying kratom, but most people become interested in this plant because of the alkaloids it contains. By definition, an alkaloid is a natural organic compound that contains nitrogen and produces a physiological effect on human beings or other animals. When people buy leaves or powder, they’re normally after the alkaloids that are responsible for the effects of kratom.

The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association has even said that alkaloids in kratom can interact with opioid receptors in the human body. Kratom alkaloids are believed to interact with the human body’s receptors in the same way as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen, fentanyl, oxycodone, anesthesia drugs, tramadol, and others. Compared to all of those pharmaceutical drugs, many people prefer to buy kratom to see if it’s a more natural way to address discomfort.

Most kratom enthusiasts are aware that alkaloids are largely responsible for kratom’s popularity throughout the world, including here in the United States. To improve your understanding of kratom’s alkaloids, it’s important to understand specifically what they are. The two main alkaloids in kratom are mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine.

There was a long period of history where people thought that mitragynine was the only important ingredient in kratom. The reason that theory became so common is that pharmacological researchers for the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association found mitragynine to act on the delta, kappa, and mu-opioid receptors. While there’s no denying that mitragynine is important, we’re starting to realize that 7-hydroxymitragynine maybe even more important.

Just consider some of the information released by scientists for the Journal of the American Osteopathic association when they announced that 7-hydroxymitragynine has a “13- and 46-fold higher potency than morphine and mitragynine, respectively.” In other words, this particular alkaloid can have a massive impact on the human body and brain.

Scientists have also noted that 7-hydroxymitragynine has fast-acting properties and a unique chemical structure that allows it to interact quickly with the human body. With all of this new information in mind, many thought leaders in the kratom industry believe 7-hydroxymitragynine is even more important than mitragynine. Of course, high levels of 7-hydroxymitragynine are often associated with feeling tired or sedated, which isn’t always ideal.

White kratom powder often has slightly lower levels of 7-hydroxymitragynine than red kratom, for example, which is why so many people choose white kratom for during the day. Even so, white vein kratom is still harvested and processed carefully to preserve as many of the alkaloids as possible. When you buy from a trusted company, you can expect to receive pure kratom with a lot of alkaloids.

Properties of White Vein Kratom

One of the main reasons so many people buy white kratom online is that even their favorite kratom blends and strains just don’t appeal to them as much as they used to. A lot of our customers say they try white kratom because they’re too used to other options and want to try something different. The subtle differences between white kratom and other types of kratom can help people feel like their stale experiences of kratom have been refreshed.

Another reason people often buy white kratom is that it’s their preference for times when they want to feel energized or productive. For example, we’ve heard people say they buy white kratom as a daytime strain, then choose red blends for the evening. Everyone’s experience with different types of kratom is different, but there does seem to be some consensus that people feel invigorated after buying white blends.

Types of White Vein Kratom

There are many different strains and blends of white kratom, just as there are with other colors of powder. Most people can’t tell much of a difference between the different types of white kratom because the nuances are so minor. That said, we’ve often heard that switching from one type of white kratom to another can refresh the experience a little bit.

95% of the kratom powder here in the United States is all from the same region of Borneo, which is why strains and blends within the same category are so similar. Even those few people who can tell the differences between the various types of white kratom powder report that the differences aren’t very significant. Still, some people do like to buy sample packs of kratom just to be sure.

Here at Laughing Lion, we’re dedicated to finding the best kratom powder for our customers. As a result, we’re always looking for superior new products we can offer. Our partnerships with the best vendors and harvesters in the world help us get access to the finest products available. While we’re always evaluating our options to ensure top quality, you can currently find four different types of white kratom powder in our online store.

1 – Premium White Maeng Da Kratom

The phrase Maeng Da (sometimes shortened to MD) is used to refer to premium kratom that offers especially high quality. Some companies use this term loosely, but our customers can confirm that our Maeng Da kratom powder is the real deal. When you try this type, you may find that you don’t need to buy quite as much.

2 – Premium White Hulu – Organic Kratom Powder

Our Premium White Hulu powder comes from Borneo Island in Indonesia. It’s all from old forests, which means there are no plantations involved.

3 – Premium White Bali – Organic Kratom

Like Red Bali, White Bali kratom sets a high standard. It’s believed these leaves contain more energy from the Indonesian sun before they mature into green leaves.

4 – Premium White Thai Kratom Powder

This strain is known for having a stronger aroma than other white kratom blends. Between the scent and the alkaloid profile, this strain is a favorite for many people.
