Although every person’s preferences are different and there is no “one size fits all” with kratom, we would like to show you our top 5 white kratom strains to help you decide.
White Maeng Da
Obviously, white vein Maeng Da couldn’t be left out of any top 5 white kratom strains list. Maeng Da, in all its varieties, is possibly the most popular kratom type that you can find. This is mainly thanks to its potency since it is considered one of the strongest kratom types.
White Maeng Da kratom has the following properties:
- analgesic
- energizing
- euphoric
- mood-lifting
- improves cognition
White Maeng Da is used by individuals who seek to relieve pain without the drowsiness that sometimes, red vein kratom gives. Like most white types, White Maeng Da will help you ease pain whilst providing you with energy and stimulation.
Regarding the dosage, White Maeng Da will be more energizing at lower doses and more soothing at moderate doses. Although this is a white strain, like all types of kratom, it can be sedative at high doses. So, it is recommended to stay low to avoid sedation.
White Borneo
Originally from the island of Borneo, White Borneo kratom is one of the most popular white vein varieties. As we already mentioned, many kratom users take it as a substitute for coffee in the mornings. If this is what you are seeking, White Borneo kratom is one of the best choices. The properties of this strain include:
- energy-boosting
- improves focus and concentration
- mood-lifting
As we said, White Borneo is used in the morning by individuals who want extra stamina to go through their working days. Moreover, as it improves concentration, it is also favored by people who must carry out important projects in their jobs.
Contrary to other strains, White Borneo will combat fatigue, without giving you anxiety or restlessness. But, since this is a stimulating strain, it’s best to avoid it at late hours, as it can keep you awake at night.
Typically, to achieve energy and focus, it’s better to keep the dosage low.
White Sumatra
The island of Sumatra is known for its special ecosystem that its wide variety of animal species, such as the Sumatran tiger, Sumatran orangutan, and many others, which are, unfortunately, critically endangered. At the same time, Sumatra’s volcanic soil is the source of many plants, many of them endemic, and, of course, kratom.
Sumatran kratom varieties are very popular and White Sumatra kratom is no exception. White Sumatran can also be found in the market under the name of White Indo.
Contrary to other white strains, White Sumatra provides a wide range of effects, including:
- energizing
- mood-lifting
- relaxing
- sedative
- analgesic
- concentration improvement
The effects of White Sumatra highly depend on the dosage taken. Kratom tends to be more stimulating at lower doses and more relaxing at the higher ones. If you want to experience White Sumatra energizing properties, you should go for low doses. On the other hand, high doses can make you feel sleepy and even experience some pain relief.
White Bali
The Bali varieties come from the Indonesian island of the same name, and they are known for their analgesic and relaxing properties. White Bali kratom holds some of the properties of its red and green partners, as well as properties of its own. Let’s see the main effects of White Bali kratom below:
- relaxing
- nootropic
- energizing
- stimulant
- analgesic
- euphoric
Although White Bali has pain-relieving effects, this is not the main purpose why users choose this variety. White Bali is mainly used for its energizing and relaxing effects. Like its Sumatran cousin, this strain is very dependent on dosage. O, as usual, low dosages will be more energizing, stimulant and nootropic (i.e.: cognitive improving) and high doses will promote relaxation.
White Thai
Although less popular than the other types, White Thai is another good option among the white kratom varieties. You may also see some vendors offering White Thai as White Thai Maeng Da since both strains are originally from Thailand. However, the Thai products that you’ll find in the market are imported from Indonesia. This is due to the kratom prohibition in Thailand that has just recently been lifted.
Like most white kratom strains, White Thai kratom has the following properties:
- energizing
- mood-lifting
- stimulating
- nootropic
Although it holds some pain-relieving properties, White Thai is mainly used for the above purposes. As such, in order for it to bring up the desired effects, it’s better to keep your dosage low.
