In a world that is becoming more health-conscious than ever, kratom sales and production have skyrocketed in recent years. This is because many are finding kratom a healthy alternative to coffee. And plantation maeng da kratom is selling like hotcakes from top online kratom vendors.
This makes sense in that kratom is related to the same family as coffee, however, it is deemed a somewhat healthier, yet more powerful alternative. In this article, we shall examine one of the most popular strains of kratom: plantation maeng da.
What is kratom?
The Kratom tree (scientific name: Mitragyna Speciosa) is particular to humid and rainy zones in Southeast Asia. For generations, locals have harvested the leaves of the kratom tree and used them for medicinal purposes, mainly brewing them in herbal teas. Only recently, areas outside this region have become aware of the many benefits of kratom.
The varying extremes of weather conditions in Southeast Asia allow the Mitragyna Speciosa tree to grow to as high as 80-100 feet. The veins of kratom (named by their color) are picked at varying degrees in the aging process to gauge different levels of alkaloids, each more potent than the first.
Maeng Da Kratom is said to be one of the most compelling varieties of kratom. The leaves of this specific strain are eminent in alkaloids (naturally occurring compounds), mainly 7-hydroxy mitragynine and Mitragynine. These powerful alkaloids have a variety of benefits and their strength can vary from slightly to greatly between the various strains and types of kratom.
The strain of kratom can vary by the color of the vein of the kratom leaves, from what specific region it was sourced, and the drying process. As well, some strains of kratom are a hybrid of one or more veins. And maeng da kratom is seen as the top-of-the-line when it comes to kratom varieties, which is why it is one of the most widely used strains of kratom.
Now let’s take a look at plantation da maeng kratom to find out if it is worth the hype.
Plantation Da Maeng Kratom
Maeng da kratom is sourced from kratom farms in Indonesia and Thailand. Many farmers use a special grating process to combine white and green vein kratom leaves to ensure that their plantation da maeng kratom contains high levels of alkaloids.
In most cases, plantation da maeng is a unique blend of white vein and green vein kratom, with a higher concentration of green vein. Both green and white vein kratom has been held in high regard amongst natives for decades, due to the plethora of pleasing benefits it instills on its users.
Plantation Maeng Da Kratom is exceptional from other strains of kratom as the leaves are dried under very specific conditions. The white vein is dried indoors for up to 24 hours after it is harvested and then returned to direct sunlight for additional drying time, typically 3 hours. The green vein leaves are dried for a period of up to two days indoors in a highly controlled environment.
Some kratom users take issue with the hybrid strains of kratom, as they tend to be purists and prefer kratom strains that are made from one vein of kratom only. However, others rave about hybrid varieties, such as plantation da maeng as they say they have heightened effects from this unique strain.
Plantation Maeng Da Kratom Purpose
Kratom is said to have varying levels of effects on different people. Some may not even be affected by the number of alkaloids contained in certain kratom strains. Others might find certain veins to be overwhelming. One should always proceed with utmost caution when consuming kratom and never go above the dosage specified for that particular strain.
Kratom has many uses and is sold in many forms. The most popular at this time are plantation maeng da kratom capsules. These gelatin, vegan or vegetarian capsules tend to be a bit on the expensive side as the dosages can vary from light to strong, so they are priced accordingly. If you do not like things that have a bitter taste, kratom capsules are probably your best bet.
Second in popularity is kratom powders. These can be used as an additive in foods and beverages. For years, many have enjoyed a dash of kratom powder in their morning coffee or evening tea. They add a bit of a unique flavor to your favorite dishes or baked goods. Kratom powder is a big seller and can be sold in bulk amounts, so it is deemed as the most affordable method of consuming kratom.
Seasoned kratom users are branching out and buying kratom extracts. These are said to be extremely potent and are not a good idea for beginners. They are a bit extravagant cost-wise due to the amount of time it takes to produce but is highly recommended by serious kratom enthusiasts.
