When people think of kratom “colors,” they typically think of the three veins: Green, White, and Red. However, you might also encounter a product called “Gold Kratom” or “Gold Vein Kratom.” This product is not actually another vein of kratom; it is a combination of multiple strains or veins, and the combination varies from one vendor to the next.
Gold kratom is a blend of kratom varieties and veins, and Gold Bali Kratom is a combination of subvarieties of Bali kratom or a combination of multiple veins of one Bali cultivar.
Let’s learn more about Gold Bali Kratom
To understand Gold Bali Kratom, it’s best to take a step back and learn about the language vendors use to describe their kratom products, including veins, strains, cultivars, and varieties. Importantly, some of those words are synonyms, which can make it tricky to understand what a vendor is talking about when they describe their kratom products.
The effects of Gold Bali Kratom may not be the same from one kratom producer to the next, because the combination of strains and veins is not going to be the same. In our professional experience, the differences between strains and veins can be subtle for most users. Serving size is usually a bigger factor in how kratom affects you than the strain.
It is best to use caution and take notes when trying out new kratom products so that you know how each product affects you.
Kratom terminology: strains, veins, and more
There are two key concepts to know about when researching a new kratom product: strains and veins.
Kratom strain: Any specific variety of Mitragyna speciosa, the tree that gives us kratom. Kratom strains are also called varieties and cultivars. Some strains have subvarieties, too. These strains usually get their name from places where kratom has historically been harvested.
Kratom vein: The age at which kratom leaves were harvested. Red vein kratom is the oldest and most maturely developed kratom leaf. White vein kratom is made from the youngest leaves. Green vein kratom is between Red and White.
Common Kratom Strains
These are some examples of kratom strains:
- Bali
- Bentuangie
- Borneo
- Elephant
- Horn
- Hulu Kapuas
- Indo
- Jong Kong
- Maeng Da
- Malay
- Malaysian
- Sumatra
- Thai
- Vietnam
Although kratom strains are usually named for the locations where kratom has been harvested, cultivars don’t necessarily come from that location. It’s unlikely that Bali kratom comes from Bali, nor Indo kratom from Indonesia. Rather, kratom vendors gave each variety a name inspired by kratom’s history.
Every strain can come in those three veins we described: White, Green, and Red.
What is Gold Bali Kratom?
If you really want to know the precise strains and veins included in a Gold Kratom blend, you’re going to have to reach out to the producer directly. With so many strains and veins available for blending, you can imagine how many combinations are possible.
Here is what you can assume when you encounter a Gold Bali Kratom product:
- It may contain multiple subvarieties of Bali kratom
- It probably uses multiple veins of Bali kratom (White, Green, Red)
- It can be a real challenge to find out what precise strains and veins are used
Often, kratom descriptions are written with one goal in mind: to sell that product. Some vendors don’t care at all about educating kratom users on the best ways to use this important botanical.
Finding a trusted vendor is important. When you know that you can trust your kratom vendor, you can buy with confidence. Trusted kratom vendors will give you information about their products, as well as guidance on how to use kratom responsibly.
What is Mitragyna speciosa?
Bali kratom is a variety of Mitragyna speciosa, which is part of the Rubiaceae family. Did you know that kratom is actually related to coffee, which also comes from the Rubiaceae family?
Like coffee, Mitragyna speciosa leaves are dark green and glossy. However, coffee trees only grow to about 15 feet tall, whereas Mitragyna speciosa can reach heights of up to 82 feet.
The plant is native to Southeast Asia, where it has been used for medicinal and spiritual purposes for generations. Places like Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia have the perfect combination of hot weather and rich, fertile soil to grow this powerful plant.
The defining characteristic of Mitragyna speciosa is its alkaloid content. It contains more than 40 different alkaloids, but the two most important ones are mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine. These alkaloids create multiple effects in humans, and kratom users have been discovering and documenting these effects for years.
More research is necessary to understand the biological and chemical mechanisms that make kratom work the way it does. In the meantime, we have several studies and lots of testimonials from kratom users to learn from.
What are the benefits and uses of Gold Bali Krtom?
Now that you know that gold kratom is a generic term for a blend of different kratom strains and veins, you also know that the results may vary from one vendor to the next.
At MIT45, we know that the active effects of kratom are closely linked to your serving size. Strains and veins may have an effect, but it is usually less noticeable than serving size and alkaloid content.
Depending on these factors, Gold Bali kratom has the following reported benefits:
- Increased energy
- Improved productivity levels
- Strengthened mental clarity
- Stronger focus
- Support for achieving fitness goals
- Mood enhancing properties
- Relaxation
How is Gold Bali Kratom created?
We’ve covered the fact that Gold Bali Kratom is a marketing tool for describing kratom blends, specifically made with blends of Bali Kratom.
This means that making Gold Bali Kratom looks like making any other kratom product.
- First, the leaves of the Mitragyna speciosa leaves must be hand-harvested at the right age
- Next, the leaves are dried
- After they have dried, ground up, pulverized into powder, or turned into high-alkaloid extracts
- Because Gold Bali Kratom is a combination product, it may combine two or more veins or subvarieties. Some vendors may combine all three veins (white, green, and red).
Popular Gold Bali Kratom products
Kratom can be consumed in many different ways, mostly based on personal preference. Some people like the convenience of a kratom gummy, while others like the routine of preparing kratom tea from loose-leaf kratom At MIT45, we specialize in kratom extracts with high alkaloid content, which is why our kratom shots are among the most popular liquid kratom products on the market.
You may find Gold Bali Kratom in products like:
- Powders
- Dried leaves
- Kratom gummies
- Kratom capsule
- Liquid shots
- Pouches
What are kratom extracts?
We make our MIT45 kratom extracts in a highly controlled laboratory, where we design kratom products with a high concentration of alkaloids. By concentrating these alkaloids at such a high level, our customers can get the benefits of kratom with a much smaller serving size.
Kratom extracts must be labeled clearly and effectively. Unscrupulous vendors might not properly label their products with the alkaloid content, which could lead unsuspecting customers to take too much kratom.
If you encounter Gold Bali Kratom being sold as an extract, take note that it will be much more potent than a traditional kratom product. You will want to adjust your serving size accordingly.
What is the optimal serving size for Gold Bali Kratom?
The best serving size is the one that works for you. However, it is important not to overdo it with kratom, which is best in moderation.
To find the optimal serving size for Gold Bali Kratom, consider the following:
- What does the manufacturer recommend?
- What experience do you have with this variety?
- Are you using an extract or a raw product?
- How quickly does your body metabolize kratom?
Avoid buying Gold Bali kratom from any vendor who says that serving size doesn’t matter or that you can use any serving size you want. Instead, look for a vendor who provides meaningful kratom education.
How long does Gold Bali Kratom last?
A modest serving size of kratom will typically kick in within about 15-30 minutes. Capsules can take a little longer (20-40 minutes). Gold Bali Kratom’s effects should last between 3 and 5 hours, like other kratom varieties.
Where to find the best quality kratom
Always confirm the legality in your state before making a kratom purchase. Only unethical vendors sell or ship kratom where it is banned in the US.
If kratom is legal in your state, as it is in most US states, you can purchase it in brick-and-mortar shops, in kratom or kava bars, and from online vendors. MIT45 can be found anywhere that kratom is sold.
Our recommendation is to shop online! When you buy your kratom online, you can take advantage of great prices, more products, and loyalty programs. Don’t forget to check out our MIT45 line of high-quality, pure kratom products, especially extracts.
