Description
The reason that this strain is so rare stems from the fact that Kratom cannot be legally exported from Thailand. Therefore, the seeds from Kratom trees in Thailand were carefully shipped to Indonesia, and since Kratom seeds are so microscopically tiny and fragile, they often become inert within days of being harvested from a Kratom tree. Therefore, it is incredibly difficult for Kratom farmers to successfully re-plant seeds from Thailand, and even if they are successful it takes years to grow the seedlings into trees which are big enough to harvest.
Thus, a lot more work goes into cultivating Red Thai Kratom compared to cultivating native Indonesian strains of Kratom, and there is only a small amount of Thai Kratom trees in Indonesia due to this.
The reason that Kratom farmers go to such great lengths to cultivate Thai Kratom is because it has a truly unique alkaloid profile, since the different soil and climate in Thailand has caused Kratom trees there to evolve drastically different properties than Indonesian Kratom trees.
Also, this Thai Kratom has gone through a fermentation process using sunlight and water, enhancing the concentration of 7-hydroxymitragynine and Mitragynine Pseudoindoxyl, and this is what gives it the classification of being a red strain. Essentially, red Kratom strains go through this fermentation to increase their potency, and this process gives the Kratom a reddish hue.
On a final note, Amazing Botanicals Red Thai Kratom has been tested in a state of the art laboratory, and utmost care was used when shipping and processing this Kratom. Lab tests confirm that this Kratom is 100% pure, contains zero adulterants or contaminants, and is highly potent.
