Gold Vietnam, originating from Vietnam’s lush, tropical climate, has started to become one of the more sought-after strains within the gold-vein kratom family. Gold strains, in general, are often chosen for their well-rounded, balanced effects due to their unique blending and fermentation methods.
So let’s go into more detail about Gold Vietnam Kratom and review specific characteristics that are signature to this gold variety, explore what sets this strain apart from the other Vietnam varieties, and unpack the main potential benefits one might experience.
The Vietnam strain was initially discovered in Vietnam, but due to a complex, ongoing legal history, cultivation of Vietnam strains is usually done in other Southeast Asian countries (like Indonesia). The different Vietnam vein colors, such as Red, Green, and White, have become widely popular. Although these three traditional vein colors come from the same strain, they share slightly differing alkaloid percentages, concentrations, and potential effects.
Gold Vietnam is not your traditional vein color; instead, it is a blend of two or more of the three color varieties. Usually, Red Vietnam leaves are mixed with the Green or White varieties of the Vietnam strain, or often, all three types of leaves are mixed. The result of the mixed vein colors of the leaves leads to a slightly off-yellow tint in the finished kratom powder.
Blending multiple Vietnamese color varieties is believed to lead to a fuller spectrum of alkaloids and a more balanced range of potential effects. The aforementioned process of blending the Vietnam color varieties before processing them goes one further step with Gold strains. The leaves are fermented prior, which results in a darker finished kratom powder, and this is what separates the Yellow kratom strains from the Gold ones.
Gold Vietnam kratom has made a name for itself by offering a balance of effects seen across the potentially stimulating alkaloid profile of White Vietnam and the relaxing and calming often seen with Red Vietnam. In terms of relaxation and calming, Gold is generally more in this range than Yellow blends due to the added fermentation, which is believed to transform the alkaloids further.
Some of the benefits users have reported experiencing with Gold Vietnam include enhanced well-being, mood-brightening effects, increased calmness, and overall balance. This suggests that Gold Vietnam could potentially be applicable for both daytime and evening usage.
Another prime advantage often reported with Gold Vietnam is a subtle energy and motivational boost, which might give its users a better drive and focus on tackling daily tasks and activities. Some have also found it may enhance their concentration and sharpen mental clarity to help them power through tasks requiring brain power.
Gold Vietnam Kratom may also improve creativity in some, which is especially important for individuals requiring creative problem-solving in their routine. The gold variety may also have the potential to help with critical problem-solving tasks, particularly tasks that benefit from innovative thinking and fresh perspectives.
Gold Vietnam kratom may cause a range of common side effects, especially with more significant amounts, in beginners to kratom and those with personal sensitivities. When dosing, it is always important to follow the best practices outlined in this guide and to consult with a doctor before using it to help educate you and review some of the risks.
Although the above are some of the more common adverse effects experienced with Gold Vietnam, it is essential to note that some individuals may experience rare and severe side effects in some circumstances. Certain risk factors significantly increase the risks, such as combining kratom with other substances (ex., certain medications or drugs) and in those with certain health conditions. Regardless, always review your plan to take kratom with a medical professional familiar with kratom, its potential risks, as well as your health history.
Make sure to educate yourself on resources before using kratom, you can refer to the warnings on the FDA website, or resources like Mayo Clinic, to learn more about potential risks and interactions.
One other factor to keep in mind is that kratom can be habit-forming due to some of its alkaloids. This means both your mind and body may become accustomed to the effects of kratom, leading to a higher dosage needed to achieve the desired results. Upon stopping the use of kratom, adverse effects might be experienced, making it hard to quit for some and leading to a habit-formation pattern. Avoiding daily use of kratom, taking weekly breaks, and avoiding high dosages or the use of extracts might counteract this problem, but as always, discuss this with your doctor as well.
It is important to note that due to kratom not being approved by the FDA and a lack of reliable studies on the dosage and usage of kratom products, there is a limited pool of evidence to support usage and dosage data to make guidelines. However, most of the regular kratom strain dosage that is reported subjectively online might be referred to, however take this with a grain of salt. The rough guidelines below are based on regular Gold Vietnam powder, not extracted products. Review this plan with your doctor and ensure you are sourcing your product from a legitimate source.
Here’s a general guide for Gold Vietnam’s dosage:
The best practice is to start very low, review your dosage plan with a doctor, pay attention to how you react after testing under 1 gram of kratom powder, and slowly work your way up until you find the sweet spot while avoiding high dosages. Remember that daily usage and higher dosages may increase tolerance and the risks of habit formation, so make sure to take breaks and not use any kratom product daily.
