Red vein kratom contains the highest concentration of an alkaloid called 7-hydroxy-mitragynine, which is primarily responsible for the analgesic action of kratom.</p> <p>In fact, 7-hydroxy-mitragynine was found to be nearly 13 times more potent than morphine and 36 times more potent than mitragynine [4].</p> <p>Kratom is available in both capsules and raw powder — both options are excellent options for managing chronic pain.</p> <p>The three <a href="https://kratom.org/strains/">most popular strains</a> for pain relief are Red Maeng Da, Red Bali, and Red Borneo. These are the three most potent strains that provide muscle-relaxing and sedating effects.<div class="cfahTB-container"> <div class="cfahTB--header__quick"><strong>Quick Summary:</strong> Our Top

The Yellow Kali strain, specifically, is a mix of Indonesian-grown red and white strains cultivated in the Kalimantan region of Indonesia.</p> <p>Kratom from this region is widely considered some of the best kratoms in the world.</p> <p>The effects of single-origin kratom can vary from one season to the next, depending on climate conditions. This can make the effects of kratom unreliable sometimes. A batch from one year may have high painkilling capacity and very little the next.</p> <p>Yellow vein kratom seeks to avoid this issue by blending two or more strains together until they get the desired results. This ensures the effects of yellow kratom remain the same year after year.</p> <h2><span id="What_Type_of_Kratom_To_Take_For_Pain">What Type of Kratom To Take For Pain</span></h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-13952 aligncenter" src="https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Kratom_capsules_and_powder.jpg" alt="Kratom capsules and powder scattered on the table" width="800" height="450" srcset="https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Kratom_capsules_and_powder.jpg 800w, https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Kratom_capsules_and_powder-300x169.jpg 300w, https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Kratom_capsules_and_powder-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Kratom_capsules_and_powder-720x405.jpg 720w, https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Kratom_capsules_and_powder-105x59.jpg 105w, https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Kratom_capsules_and_powder-70x39.jpg 70w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p> <p>Virtually all kratom is going to offer some relief for managing pain, but some are clearly better than others.</p> <p>The general consensus among experts is that the red vein kratom strains are the best for managing pain. These strains have the highest concentration of an alkaloid called 7-OH-mitragynine, which has been shown to provide potent painkilling benefits.</p> <p>People who take kratom for pain should opt for a strong red vein strain (such as Red Bali, Red Maeng Da, or Red Borneo, among others) in the form of either a powder or capsules.</p> <h3><span id="Kratom_Powder">Kratom Powder</span></h3> <p>Kratom powder is generally better for pain relief because it makes it easier for people to consume higher doses (several grams at a time). The painkilling effects of kratom usually begin appearing around the 4-gram mark.</p> <p>The <a href="https://cfah.org/how-to-take-kratom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">easiest way to take kratom</a> powder is through a method called “toss and wash.” Users will measure their dose of kratom using a scale or measuring cup and then quickly knock it back with a cup of water.</p> <p>The taste is horrendous, so it’s important to drink it as fast as you can and follow it up with some juice. Orange or pineapple juice is the best for masking the taste.</p> <h3><span id="Kratom_Capsules">Kratom Capsules</span></h3> <p>Alternatively, you can opt for kratom-filled capsules instead. The benefit is that you won’t have to taste the bitter, grassy kratom. The downside is that you’ll need several of them to feel the painkilling benefits of the plant.</p> <p>Most 00 capsules contain around 750 mg of kratom powder. Some more, some less, depending on how finely ground the kratom leaf is.</p> <p>This means that for a 4-gram dose, you’ll need at least 5 capsules at a time. For people who need higher doses (which is common with people using kratom for pain), you’ll need upwards of 10 or even 12 capsules at a time. This may be a bit much for some people, and the gelatin content of the caps can irritate the stomachs of some people.</p> <h3><span id="Kratom_Tincture">Kratom Tincture</span></h3> <p>Kratom tinctures are made by extracting the active ingredients of the kratom leaf into a liquid. Tinctures can be concentrated to provide the equivalent amount of kratom leaf into a much smaller volume.</p> <p>Tinctures are often flavored to help mask the bad taste of kratom, and oils in the tincture base dramatically improve the absorption of the dose.</p> <p>Tinctures aren’t always available for every strain, but they are a great way to use kratom on a consistent basis if you find the taste of the raw powder too hard to palate.</p> <h2><span id="Whats_the_Dosage_of_Kratom_For_Pain">What’s the Dosage of Kratom For Pain?</span></h2> <p>The <a href="https://cfah.org/kratom-dosage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dosage range for kratom</a> is between 2 and 12 grams.</p> <p>For pain, the threshold is usually around 4 grams, but some people need much more.</p> <p>When using kratom for the first time, it’s wise to start with a lower dose first and increase once you’re familiar with how it feels in your body.</p> <p>Start with 1 gram, then another gram an hour later. If you still feel good and want to take more, you can take the other 2 grams to reach the 4-gram recommended dose.</p> <p>If you still don’t feel any improvement, increase the dose by one gram per day until you find what works for you.</p> <p>Make sure you stop when you find a dose that works. There’s no need to take more kratom than you need. If 4 grams works for you, stay at 4 grams. Taking more is only going to increase the chance of uncomfortable side effects.</p> <h2><span id="Kratom_Strains_Red_vs_Green_vs_White">Kratom Strains: Red vs. Green vs. White</span></h2> <p>When choosing the best kratom for managing pain, it’s important to understand the differences between <a href="https://cfah.org/kratom-strains/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">red, green, and white vein kratom</a>.</p> <h3><span id="What_is_Red_Vein_Kratom">What is Red Vein Kratom?</span></h3> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-17513" src="https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Red-Vein-Kratom-CTA.jpg" alt="Red Vein Strain" width="800" height="250" srcset="https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Red-Vein-Kratom-CTA.jpg 800w, https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Red-Vein-Kratom-CTA-300x94.jpg 300w, https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Red-Vein-Kratom-CTA-768x240.jpg 768w, https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Red-Vein-Kratom-CTA-720x225.jpg 720w, https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Red-Vein-Kratom-CTA-105x33.jpg 105w, https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Red-Vein-Kratom-CTA-70x22.jpg 70w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p> <p><strong><div class="su-button-center"><a href="https://cfah.org/products/konakratom/red/" class="su-button su-button-style-default" style="color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#F95738;border-color:#c8462d;border-radius:9px;-moz-border-radius:9px;-webkit-border-radius:9px" target="__blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;padding:0px 24px;font-size:18px;line-height:36px;border-color:#fb8a74;border-radius:9px;-moz-border-radius:9px;-webkit-border-radius:9px;text-shadow:none;-moz-text-shadow:none;-webkit-text-shadow:none"> See Lowest Price</span></a></div></strong></p> <p><center>Use coupon <strong>CFAH</strong> for <strong>10% OFF</strong></center><br /> Different varieties of the plant tend to produce unique effects. <a href="https://cfah.org/red-vein-kratom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Red vein strains</a> are among the best kratom for pain relief due to the alkaloid levels present in the leaves.</p> <p>These alkaloid levels increase as the plant ages. Red vein strains come about when the plant has reached its full maturity and has the highest alkaloid potency.</p> <p>Each strain has a slightly different chemical makeup that will affect the plant’s effects.</p> <p><strong>The primary alkaloids contained in the leaves responsible for the painkilling effect include:</strong></p> <ul> <li aria-level="1"><strong>Mitragynine —</strong> Predominant alkaloid in most kratom samples. Activates the opiate receptors [1].</li> <li aria-level="1"><strong>7-Hydroxymitragynine —</strong> Second most predominant alkaloid. Most concentrated in red vein kratom. Activates mu-opioid receptors [2].</li> </ul> <p>These chemical compounds work within your body to create a myriad of results. In the strains discussed above, these alkaloids work on the pain receptors in the brain. Unlike opiates, however, they bind only partially to the opioid receptors, so they don’t create the same risk of addiction.</p> <p>The alkaloids also work to relax your muscles, which helps to reduce pain and cause sedative effects. They also affect your mood and can produce feelings of euphoria.</p> <h3><span id="What_is_Green_Vein_Kratom">What is Green Vein Kratom?</span></h3> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-17499" src="https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Green-Vein-Kratom-CTA.jpg" alt="Green Vein Strain" width="800" height="250" srcset="https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Green-Vein-Kratom-CTA.jpg 800w, https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Green-Vein-Kratom-CTA-300x94.jpg 300w, https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Green-Vein-Kratom-CTA-768x240.jpg 768w, https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Green-Vein-Kratom-CTA-720x225.jpg 720w, https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Green-Vein-Kratom-CTA-105x33.jpg 105w, https://cfah.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Green-Vein-Kratom-CTA-70x22.jpg 70w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p> <p><strong><div class="su-button-center"><a href="https://cfah.org/products/konakratom/green/" class="su-button su-button-style-default" style="color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#F95738;border-color:#c8462d;border-radius:9px;-moz-border-radius:9px;-webkit-border-radius:9px" target="__blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;padding:0px 24px;font-size:18px;line-height:36px;border-color:#fb8a74;border-radius:9px;-moz-border-radius:9px;-webkit-border-radius:9px;text-shadow:none;-moz-text-shadow:none;-webkit-text-shadow:none"> See Lowest Price</span></a></div></strong></p> <p><center>Use coupon <strong>CFAH</strong> for <strong>10% OFF</strong></center><br /> <a href="https://cfah.org/green-vein-kratom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Green vein kratom</a> is the most versatile.

This ratio makes white vein kratom much more energizing than red or green strains.</p> <p>White vein kratom is not normally recommended for pain but can be useful for people who experience feelings of lethargy or lowered mood alongside their pain.</p> <p>Many people who use kratom often will keep some red vein kratom around as their primary painkiller but will mix in some white vein for their morning dose. The effects of the white vein give the mix a stronger kick first thing in the morning.</p> <h2><span id="How_Does_Kratom_Help_With_Pain">How Does Kratom Help With Pain?</span></h2> <p>Many of the active alkaloids contained in kratom target the opioid receptors — which are one of the primary neuroregulatory networks involved in controlling the perception of pain.</p> <p>By activating these receptors, kratom alkaloids can block or mute pain signals <em>before</em> they reach the brain.</p> <p>This opiate action is the primary mechanism kratom uses to dull pain [<a href="https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.7556/jaoa.2012.112.12.792/html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">5</a>]. It works in a similar way to conventional painkillers like morphine or oxycontin, but with some key differences.</p> <p>Kratom alkaloids may <em>act</em> as opioids, but they are entirely different. They don’t affect breathing (which is what makes opiates dangerous), and they target more than just the opiate receptors.</p> <p>Kratom alkaloids also target dopamine, serotonin, GABA, and norepinephrine receptors [6,7]. Some of these actions are what give kratom its anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) actions, and others provide stimulating benefits.</p> <p>Kratom’s complex interaction with our neurochemistry works to both improve the effectiveness for managing conditions like chronic pain and alleviate many of the side effects associated with synthetic painkillers.</p> <h2><span id="Kratom_vs_Prescription_Painkillers">Kratom vs. Prescription Painkillers</span></h2> <p>A lot of people who use kratom for pain turn to this plant as an alternative to addictive prescription painkillers.</p> <p>But how do they compare? Is kratom truly strong enough to be used instead of medications like oxycontin or morphine? Are they safe to take together?</p> <h3><span id="1_Potency">1. Potency</span></h3> <p>There’s no doubt about it; prescription painkillers are going to be stronger than kratom. These substances are designed to target highly specific pain pathways to dull the pain transmission before it reaches the brain.</p> <p>But stronger isn’t necessarily better. This high specificity of prescription painkillers is also what makes them so dangerous and addictive.</p> <p>While it’s true that synthetic painkillers are generally stronger, the potency of kratom shouldn’t be underestimated. There are more than a dozen active ingredients in kratom — each one targeting a different pathway to reduce pain. This makes kratom much more versatile in the types of pain it can treat.</p> <p>For example, many people who find opiates don’t work for certain kinds of inflammatory pain hail kratom for its effectiveness. This is because many of the active alkaloids in the plant work through a combination of anti-inflammatory, adrenergic, and opiate effects [<a href="https://academic.oup.com/ajhp/article-abstract/75/5/261/5102317" target="_blank" rel="noopener">9</a>]. Conversely, opiates only work within the opiate system.</p> <h3><span id="2_Addiction_Potential">2. Addiction Potential</span></h3> <p>Opiate addiction has reached epidemic proportions in the US and around the world. This epidemic simply doesn’t exist for herbs like kratom.</p> <p>The reason prescription opiates are so much more addictive is simple. These drugs are so good at targeting a specific receptor, it’s easy for the body to become tolerant by simply hiding or blocking these receptors. This is how dependency forms. Users eventually reach a point where having the drug is necessary for maintaining homeostasis (balance).</p> <p>Kratom can still be addictive, but it takes a substantially longer period of time for dependency to form [<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6612999/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">3</a>]. This is because kratom target many different receptors, not just one. There are also some indications that kratom contains anti-addictive compounds that help regulate the receptors and reduce the chances of becoming tolerant [<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7309661/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">8</a>].</p> <h3><span id="3_Risks_of_Overdose">3. Risks of Overdose</span></h3> <p>Opiate medications were responsible for over <a href="https://nida.nih.gov/research-topics/trends-statistics/overdose-death-rates" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">90,000 deaths in 2020</a> alone. These drugs are very dangerous and are fueling the epidemic of addiction-related deaths worldwide.</p> <p>The main cause of death from opiate overdose is respiratory depression. Opiate medications inhibit the activation of a compound called beta-arrestin-2. This leads the user to stop breathing, eventually becoming hypoxic.</p> <p><strong>Kratom removes a significant portion of this risk in two ways: </strong></p> <p><strong>First, it’s difficult to consume fatal doses of kratom.</strong> Kratom becomes emetic (makes you throw up) long before toxic doses are achieved. If you take a ton of kratom, you’ll end up throwing it up and feeling terrible for an hour or two. It’s hard to take more kratom when someone is in this condition. With opiates, this isn’t the case. They don’t make you feel like throwing up until it’s far too late.</p> <p><strong>Secondly, kratom alkaloids don’t block beta-arrestin-2. </strong>Again, this is the primary cause of death from overdosing on opiates.</p> <h2><span id="Where_to_Buy_the_Best_Kratom_for_Pain">Where to Buy the Best Kratom for Pain?</span></h2> <p>If you are looking to buy the best kratom for pain relief, it is essential to consider where you will purchase it.

In fact, there are probably more non-reputable vendors than reputable ones.</p> <p>The problem is that the kratom industry is full of middlemen, each trying to take a piece of the pie for themselves. Every time kratom changes hands, the quality takes a hit and the price increases.</p> <p>Knowing how to tell the difference between a poor quality vendor and a good one is critical for getting the best value for the money and for ensuring the products you order are safe.</p> <p><strong>Here’s our method for distinguishing the quality of kratom vendors: </strong></p> <h3><span id="1_Check_For_AKA_Accreditation">1. Check For AKA Accreditation</span></h3> <p>The American Kratom Association (AKA) exists solely as a way to maintain a minimum bar of quality within the kratom industry. In order for a kratom vendor to be approved, they have to prove the facilities they run meet the rigorous expectations of the association.</p> <p>This includes simple things like good manufacturing practices (GMP) as well as things like adequate storage procedures, batch tracking for managing problems or expiration, and much more.</p> <p>It’s also quite expensive to become AKA accredited, so only the most serious kratom vendors follow through.</p> <p>If the company you’re interested in testing out isn’t AKA approved, it’s a good idea to keep looking. There are plenty of great companies that are approved to risk ordering from vendors that didn’t feel this step was worth their time.</p> <h3><span id="2_Email_The_Company">2. Email The Company</span></h3> <p>One of the best ways to confirm the company you’re interested in buying from is legit is to send them an email.</p> <p>A reputable brand should respond within about 24 hours and be able to answer simple questions proficiently. If the response either doesn’t make sense or doesn’t answer your question, it’s a good idea to move along to the next company.</p> <p>This simple trick is much more effective than you might expect.</p> <p><strong>Try asking them one of these questions to help stump non-reputable brands: </strong></p> <ul> <li aria-level="1"><strong>Can you send me a copy of your most recent lab reports?</strong> — if they don’t have lab tests, move along (see the next section).</li> <li aria-level="1"><strong>What region is your Kali kratom sourced from?</strong> — if they can’t tell you, they’re probably not legit.</li> <li aria-level="1"><strong>Do you ship to Alabama?</strong> — it’s illegal here, so the answer from a reputable brand should be “no”</li> </ul> <h3><span id="3_Check_Third-Party_Testing">3. Check Third-Party Testing</span></h3> <p>Third-party testing is a process used to verify the contents of a particular sample of kratom. This test is done by an independent company (AKA third-party) to ensure the results are completely non-biased.</p> <p>These tests are expensive but critical for providing transparency that the products a company is selling is free from harsh contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides, or residual solvents. These tests are also used to prove the potency of the leaf you’re ordering.</p> <p>You don’t need to be an expert to read these tests. Most third-party labs will flag any areas of the test that failed, so have a skim down the page to find anything that stands out.</p> <p>First, check the date — it should be a date within the past 6 months. Anything longer than this should raise an eyebrow. A lot of companies will order one test and then just keep reposting it as if it was new. This is just as bad, if not worse, than not testing at all.</p> <p>Second, look at the alkaloid profile. There should be a high concentration (more than 40%) for both mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine.</p> <p>Third, check the heavy metals, pesticides, solvents, and microbial contamination sections for any marks or highlighted sections. There is no safe level of heavy metals, and things like solvents have no reason for being in a kratom powder. If these compounds are detected, it’s wise to move along to another company instead.</p> <h2><span id="Summary_Using_Kratom_for_Pain">Summary: Using Kratom for Pain</span></h2> <p>Kratom has offered pain relief for years.
