What You Need to Know About Maeng Da Kratom

Kratom has been gaining popularity lately as an alternative energy source. However, many people still don’t know much about Maeng Da Kratom. Whether you have heard a bit about kratom or are just starting to do your research, here is what you need to know about Maeng Da Kratom: 

What Is Kratom? 

Kratom is derived from the mitragyna speciosa, an evergreen tree native to Southeast Asian countries. Kratom, which derives from the coffee family, has been used for centuries for medicinal purposes and as an herbal supplement. Today, scientists have begun to study kratom for its various potential health benefits and have identified various kratom components, including mitragynine. Kratom is thought to interact with opioid receptors in the brain to produce sedation, decrease pain, and even induce a pleasurable sensation.

Kratom can come via a capsule, kratom tea, pill, or, in some cases, powder. However, before you buy kratom, you should be aware that there are several types of kratom, including Maeng Da Kratom. 

What Is Maeng Da Kratom?

Maeng Da Kratom is native to Thailand, where it is considered a local delicacy. Named for the water bug Lethocerus Indicus, Maeng Da Kratom is also considered one of the strongest kratom types due to its high alkaloid content. Its strength is similar to the Bali strain, which is also believed to have a high alkaloid content. Because Maeng Da kratom is so potent, it has earned the name ‘pimp grade’ kratom. 

When in its plant form, Maeng Da can be identified by its appearance; it has darker leaves and can produce different strains depending on whether the veins of the leaf are red, white, or green. When crushed, Maeng Da produces a green kratom powder, but can be formulated in various ways for various effects:

How Is Maeng Da Kratom Cultivated? 

Once grown by the local indigenous groups, Maeng Da kratom has become a major crop throughout Thailand. Unlike some other local agricultural enterprises, Maeng Da is cultivated with sustainability in mind. Because Maeng Da has a long history in the region, it can be grown in biodiverse rainforests and in small village fields that have been passed down for generations. 

Once the kratom is determined to be ripe, each leaf is harvested individually. This ensures that harvesters avoid unhealthy leaves, and the leaves can grow for the next harvest. Next, the harvested leaves are dried, and the veins are removed. Drying time can also affect the potency of the kratom, which is why the process is carefully regulated to ensure that the alkaloids have maximum maturity before the dried leaves are crushed into powder.   

When crushed, the Maeng Da kratom leaves create a fluffy, fine powder, which is then sealed to avoid contamination. 

Benefits of Maeng Da Kratom

Because Maeng Da Kratom is only now being studied scientifically, many known benefits come from anecdotes and traditional uses. Among these are: 

• Relief for aches and pains
• Improved energy without anxiety and jitters
• Decrease in chronic pain symptoms
• Feeling of relaxation
