Kratom (Mitragyna Speciosia) can range in its effects from energizing to relaxing depending on what time the leaves are harvested and their maturity. Depending on these two details, the alkaloid profile can suit different needs and preferences. Whether you’re seeking focus, energy, or relief and relaxation, understanding the properties of each harvest cycle can help you make an informed decision. Additionally, Kravaco offers specialized blended kratom products that combine the benefits of multiple harvest times for a balanced effect.
Understanding the Basic Kratom Colors
- White Kratom: Harvested at the early part of the leaves maturity cycle where more than 40 naturally occurring alkaloids outshine the more relaxing mitragynine alkaloid. White kratom is best for those needing a boost in energy and focus. Whites are ideal for mornings or when high productivity is required.
- Green Kratom: Harvested at the middle peak of the leaves maturity cycle where the alkaloid profile is at its most balanced. Green kratom is known for providing a balance between energy and relaxation, greens are suitable for those seeking enhanced mood and mild relief without significant sedation.
- Red Kratom: Red kratom is harvested at the latest stage of the leaves maturity cycle and generally contains a high percentage of mitragynine. Preferred for its calming properties, red kratom is excellent for relaxation and more intense relief, ideal for evening use.
Choosing Based on Desired Effects
- For Focus & Energy: Consider White Kratom or our White & Green blend (WG), which combines the alertness of an early harvest whites with the balanced effects of a mid-harvest greens, perfect for sustained focus and mild relaxation.
- For Energy & Productivity: Greens are a good bet here, or try our Red & Green blend for an added mood boost without too much relaxation.
- For Relief & Relaxation: Red Kratom is highly effective and a great choice here. For those who might find a pure reds too relaxing, our Red & White blend (RW) offers a more mild relief with a slight energizing effect and our Green & Red (GR) blend offers relief with a bit of boost making it suitable for daytime use or those on the go.
- For a more balanced approach: Globe Plus Blend is our balanced blend of all three white, green, and red kratom. We consider this more of an enhanced green with a special mix of red and white for everyday obstacles.
Special Blended Products
- Red & White Blend (RW): Combines the soothing effects of red kratom with the energizing properties of white, making it ideal for those seeking balanced pain relief with a boost of energy.

- Globe Plus Blend: Our special mix of all three harvests, white, green, and red. Plus Blend is a well rounded everyday kratom blend that leans toward green without the edginess of white kratom or the heavy relaxation of red kratom while still retaining qualities of both.
Additional Considerations:
- Moderation is Key: Users should adhere to recommended dosages and avoid combining kratom with other substances to minimize risk.
- Consult Healthcare Professionals: Especially for individuals with underlying health conditions or those taking other medications.
- Avoid Mixing with Alcohol or Medications: Kratom should never be combined with alcohol or medications, especially those that may increase the risk of respiratory suppression. Examples of such medications include but are not limited to: opioids (e.g., morphine, oxycodone), benzodiazepines (e.g., Valium, Xanax), and certain antidepressants.
- Avoid Highly Concentrated Extracts in high doses: Highly concentrated kratom extracts, such as shots and pure extracts, pose a higher risk of overdose due to their potent nature. These products can deliver large amounts of mitragynine in a small volume and lack the other natural alkaloid available in natural kratom, increasing the likelihood of adverse effects.
- Be Cautious with Certain Retail Sources: Kratom sold in gas stations or products labeled with claims of direct medical cures, or promises of inebriation should be approached with caution. For example, products marketed as “Kratom Cure-All” or “Party Booster” may not meet safety standards and can be misleading.
- Responsible Use: Any product can be abused such as alchohol or simple over the counter medications such as BENADRYLE®. Kratom is no different. We encourage the safe and responsible use of kratom products by adults only. Let’s keep kratom safe and legal.
Choosing the right kratom harvest or harvest blend depends largely on understanding your personal needs and the specific effects each type offers. By considering the particular benefits of white, green, and red kratom, as well as our special blends, you can tailor your kratom experience to match your daily requirements and lifestyle.
Always start small with any kratom product to assess your tolerance and response to different color or blends. You should never take kratom if you are pregnant or nursing, have a history of heart or liver disease or other serious medical condition. And never combine kratom with medications or alcohol.
