(Newswire.net — August 1, 2019) — For most Kratom users, green vein Kratom is considered the most even and gentle in effect. This is in comparison to white and red vein Kratom. The users argue that green vein Kratom offers them an ideal balance between the effects of white and red vein Kratom.
While white vein Kratom is suggested to energize and uplift the body, red vein Kratom is suggested to calm and sedate the body. As a result, green vein Kratom is seen as the perfect hybrid since it promises the effects of both red and white Kratom strains. You can enjoy an energized and uplifting feeling in addition to calmness and sedation.
What exactly is Green Vein Kratom?
Green vein Kratom refers to a Kratom strain that’s predominantly green in color. Contrary to most arguments, the name is not derived from the appearance of the leaves of the Kratom species (Mitragyna speciosa) but the color of its veins. The Kratom tree is native to Asian countries like Malaysia and Thailand. Like other Kratom strains, green vein Kratom is rich in the following active alkaloids:
- Mitragynine
- 7-Hydroximitragynine
Green Kratom is found in different sub-strains. The most popular ones are:
- Green Sumatra
- Green Malaysian
- Green Thai
- Green Maeng Da
- Green Indo
- Green Bali
The advantage of green vein Kratom is that it’s readily available online on the Golden Monk and other supplement stores. The other advantage is that there are so many ways to consume the Kratom strain. You can take it in your morning tea or mix it with a smoothie or any other beverage you like. You can also swallow its tablet and capsule forms.
Are There Any Risks?
Just because green vein Kratom is the fairer and most preferred Kratom strain doesn’t mean that there are no risks associated with it. According to the FDA, all known Kratom varieties have risks and green vein Kratom is no exception. Here are the popular ones:
-
Digestive Issues
In the body, the stomach is one of the most sensitive organs. So, if it’s naturally sensitive to potent drugs, there’s a risk that it may be irritated by green vein Kratom. The risk is even higher when you take green vein Kratom when hungry. The supplement doesn’t sit well on an empty stomach, so you may get a stomach upset easily.
-
Vomiting and Nausea
This is probably the commonest risks among most green vein Kratom users. If you are taking the supplement plainly, you may find its taste to be disgusting and this may make you want to vomit. Of course, not everyone will find the flavor sickening. For others, it can be masked by mint or ginger. You can also use honey or citrus. The intake method could also be a contributing factor. For example, taking green vein Kratom powder in water may induce vomiting while taking it in milk or tea may not.
-
Negative Drug Interactions
Green vein Kratom is designed to act on its own. You are not expected to take it with a similar drug (an opioid) as the effects may intensify. This could lead to serious reactions by the body. According to research, taking green Kratom with another psychoactive substance is likened to overdosing Kratom. As you know, nothing good comes from a Kratom overdose. It’s likely to interfere with the functions of vital organs like the liver, heart, and kidney.
-
Weight Issues
Depending on the body’s response to green vein Kratom intake, some people lose weight and others gain it. The problem is that the loss or gain is extreme and this is worrying in as far as healthy weight management is concerned.
-
Allergic Responses
This risk is not as common as the others but there’s a slim chance of it happening if you are allergic to opioids. On a pharmaceutical viewpoint, Kratom is generally an opioid. Thus, you may experience skin irritation and respiratory reactions like a running/dry nose. The FDA links the allergic responses and other Kratom risks to the active ingredients found in Kratom that are similar in effect to what’s found in known opioids.
Final Thoughts
Looking at the balance effects that green vein Kratom is suggested to bring, the strain is worth a try if you are a regular Kratom user or a beginner. You just have to be aware of the possible risks. The more you become familiar with the risks, the easier it is to manage them.
