Kratom Strains Explained: Green, Red, White and More

Kratom strains are typically grouped by vein color — green, red and white — each associated with a different balance of alkaloids and, anecdotally, a different effect profile.

Red strains are most often used for relaxation, white strains for energy and focus, and green strains as a middle ground between the two. Effects vary by individual, so starting with a small amount of any new strain is recommended.
