Kratom

What is Kratom?

Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a tropical evergreen tree in the Rubiaceae family, indigenous to Southeast Asia. The plant produces broad leaves with a diverse spectrum of naturally occurring indole alkaloids, including mitragynine, 7-hydroxymitragynine, speciogynine, and paynantheine. These compounds are of phytochemical interest due to their structural complexity and distribution across different strains and geographic regions.

The leaves are traditionally classified by the vein color of the leaf—red, green, or white—each of which reflects differences in leaf maturity, post-harvest treatment, and regional variation.

Kratom Strains

The regional naming is not from where the product is farmed, it’s common names used in the industry to create a variety of products. The classification of the powder into red, green, and white strains is based on observable morphological differences. While not a formal scientific taxonomy, this system allows categorization of leaves based on harvest stage and post-processing characteristics:

Red Vein: Typically sourced from mature leaves, often darker in color after drying. Some Red Kratom product may have been fermented.

Green Vein: Harvested at mid-maturity, producing a balanced coloration and texture.

White Vein: Derived from younger leaves, generally lighter in appearance.
