Gold Elephant Kratom, another gold-vein strain, is sought out by many kratom enthusiasts due to its unique effects and benefits related to its balanced profile. As a member of this illustrious category, Gold Elephant stands out for its robust aroma and alkaloid composition.
In this review, we will educate you about Gold Elephant’s origin and cultivation process, how it might benefit your mind and body, and some rough dosage guidelines for your reference.
Like most kratom strains, Gold Elephant kratom is also derived from the specific Mitragyna speciosa tree and is a member of the Elephant strain group. One of the most notable visual characteristics of the elephant strain is the large leaves, which differ from other kratom strains and resemble elephant ears.
The Elephant kratom strain varieties are widely popular and are carried by the largest online and local vendors across the United States. Only three true-color varieties of Elephant kratom exist: White, Green, and Red. Gold and Yellow Elephants are not vein-color types but blends of multiple Elephant color varieties in the same group.
Blending different vein colors of the strain leads to a broader spectrum of effects that some users say is more balanced. It is common for Red and White Elephant to be mixed to make Yellow or Gold; however, all three vein colors, Red, Green, and White, are often mixed.
Gold Elephant differs from Yellow Elephant due an added fermentation process of the leaves, which make the resulting powder (with a yellowish tint), appear darker, with more of a Gold color. Fermenting the leaves is also believed to change an alkaloid profile slightly and offer more relaxing effects due to the changes caused by natural processes during the fermentation stage.
Gold Elephant Kratom might be a versatile choice because it offers a combination of potential effects from fermented Elephant color varieties.
One potential effect is a balance between energy and relaxation, making this strain potentially suitable when seeking a daytime or evening to enhance your daily activities.

Gold Elephant may also improve the mood, possibly helping to enhance one’s overall well-being. This may help users feel a better sense of contentment and develop a more positive outlook.
Gold Elephant may also help clear the mind, promoting better focus and concentration in some users.

Kratom strains, including gold varieties like Gold Elephant, may lead to habit formation and physical/mental dependency. Habit formation could make it challenging to quit kratom and result in adverse effects upon ceasing use. To reduce the risks of habit formation, it is essential to remain educated, keep your dosage low, and avoid daily usage, with frequent breaks each week.
It is important to note that there are no official dosage recommendations for Gold Elephant due to the FDA not approving it and also due to the lack of study surrounding kratom dosage, especially in regards to specific strains or varieties. The below dosage guidelines are purely anecdotal and based on subjective user reports, so always review your dosage plan with your doctor before use.
If it is your first time using kratom, or any new strain or vendor type, always start with a “test dose” of under 1 gram of regular (non-extract or ultra-enhanced) kratom powder to assess your tolerance and personal compatibility and rule out things such as allergic reaction.
| Beginners | For beginners (after a test dose), start slow with 2-3 grams. At this dosage range, you may get a sense of mellow relaxation and a subtle mood lift. |
| Intermediate | For novice/intermediate users, 3-5 grams is a good range. Common potentials in this range include an increased mood lift and feelings of well-being with a stronger tendency toward relaxation and calming. |
| NOT RECOMMENDED | Exceeding 5 grams is not recommended. Adverse effects may become more common at this range. Going above 5 grams may also exceed the "ceiling effect" where there are diminishing benefits in exchange for an increase in adverse effect risks. Also above 5 grams may increase tolerance and increase the risks of dependence and habit formation. |
