Most people assume there exists a yellow kratom tree like the red vein, white vein, and green vein kratom. However, there are no yellow kratom trees. So, where does this yellow strain come from?


This guide covers everything there is to know about yellow vein kratom, the recommended dosage, strains, and where to get the best products. 

What Is Yellow Kratom?

Only three kratom strains are recognized, and they are: red, green, and white. The yellow vein is a hybrid strain that has raised numerous debates about where it originates. Kratom vendors and farmers have different explanations for how they produce this strain.


Here are four theories about how yellow vein kratom comes to be.


  • Harvesting Kratom Leaves at Later Stages– It is believed that mature Mitragyna Speciosa leaves have a yellow hue at the later stages of maturity. When these leaves are processed, they produce yellow kratom powder.
  • Harvesting Premature Kratom Leaves– Some vendors explain that picking younger kratom leaves gives them a yellow hue.
  • Blending Different Strains– The yellow strain may also result from mixing white, red, and green strains and then fermenting them.
  • Unique Drying Technique– This is the most popular theory. It suggests that red-vein or white-vein kratom leaves are dried for extended periods. Others explain that green and white kratom is blended but dried indoors, not outdoors.

Yellow kratom has similar effects to green kratom. It is not as fast as the white strain or slow as the red strain. But, yellow kratom effects last longer than white vein kratom.


The yellow strain boosts alertness, uplifts mood, and eases physical discomfort. It also boosts energy and a satisfying sense of self.


Although yellow vein kratom is a well-rounded strain, the degree of its effects may vary between brands. For this reason, opt for reputable, reliable, and consistent vendors. 

Yellow Vein Kratom Dosage

If you are trying out yellow kratom for the first time, start with smaller doses regardless of the yellow kratom benefits you seek. Besides, the optimal kratom dosage varies between users as it depends on:


  • Your body size and weight
  • Your tolerance
  • Your metabolism rate
  • The yellow kratom strain you are using

A kratom serving below 2 grams is a micro-dose and ideal for beginners, while one between 2 and 6 grams is a mild dosage. Using more than 8 grams is considered a heavy dose, so keeping kratom serving between 6 and 8 grams or lower would be best.


Gradually increase the dosage once you have established your level of tolerance. Remember that the higher the kratom dosage, the more likely you will experience side effects.


Also, always measure kratom dosage before using. For starters, using a teaspoon can help measure accurate doses.


To enjoy yellow vein kratom properties, use it on an empty stomach. Additionally, take water after use. 

Different Yellow Vein Kratom Strains

The following are the different strains of yellow kratom.

  • Yellow Vein Bali

The strain originates from the lush jungles of Bali, Indonesia. It is a result of mixing green and white Bali leaves with some vendors adding red Bali strains. The blend is fermented for two days to create a rich alkaloid profile.


Apart from mixing the strain, some Bali farmers harvest kratom leaves and leave them out to dry. Subjecting them to direct sunlight increases alkaloid concentration to produce potent Yellow Bali. This process takes several days.
