Fans of Gold Kratom strains adore them for the potential balance due to the unique blending and fermentation processes used in their production. One such strain is “Super Gold,” but what exactly is this strain, how does it differ from other Gold strains, and is it worth trying? We’ll answer these questions in the following guide, along with some common benefits and effects observed with this strain and some typical dosage ranges.
Kratom enthusiasts often love to explore different Kratom strains when looking for unique varieties with differing aromas and alkaloid profiles, and the Super Gold strain is no exception. There is some confusion about what Super Gold is and what certain vendors market it as; it may differ from one vendor to another, so we’ll outline the basics below so you can understand better.
For instance, super strains like Maeng Da or Bali are not official. In the case of strains like Maeng Da or Bali, there are gold varieties, such as Gold Maeng Da and Gold Bali. However, with Super strains, and in this case, Super Gold Kratom, the “Super” might be a way for some vendors to market a stronger strain (for instance, their Super varieties might have higher mitragynine % vs. their standard ones. In other cases, vendors might mix multiple different varieties of different strains and slap the Super designation on their finished product.
Now that we understand what Super can mean and, in many cases, the differences between kratom sellers, we can explore what Gold kratom is. Gold is not a standard vein color variety like Red, Green, or White vein, which all get their names from the feint coloring of the leaves and veins upon harvesting from a singular strain. White veins are the more immature leaves from a strain, and Reds are the more mature leaves on a singular strain.
In the case of Gold kratom, it is a blend of red-veined leaves with either White or Green veins or both. The resulting blend of the color varieties results in a very minor and yellowish tint, which creates Yellow kratom. However, the leaves are fermented with gold kratom before mixing, resulting in a slightly darker yellow in some cases, hence the gold designation and the difference between gold and yellow kratom.
Mixing multiple kratom color varieties creates a distinct aroma and alkaloid profile and offers potential balanced effects due to the broader spectrum of alkaloids. Fermenting kratom, a long-time-used process, may further change the resulting alkaloid profile through biological processes.
That brings us back to Super Gold kratom; now that you have a better understanding of Super strains and gold kratom strains, you can understand precisely what Super Gold kratom is. Being both a blend and having a designation that could mean the mixing of color varieties of different strains, or a slightly more potent alkaloid profile, you can understand that Super Gold kratom may vary widely between vendors and batches, so it is always best to get more details about their Super Gold before purchasing if they are selling as Super Gold kratom without a specific strain name as well detail below.
Not all Super Gold kratom is sold or listed as Super Gold. Some strains have clearly defined strain origins, meaning these varieties are Gold kratom within the same family and may be created from stronger leaves than your standard Gold strains.
With Super Gold Kratom’s unique alkaloid profile, this strain might be your next personal favorite; the most popular potential effect among kratom enthusiasts is brightening mood. This strain group may help you feel more optimistic, which can be beneficial during particular times.
Apart from potential mood-enhancing effects, Super Gold Kratom strains might also have the potential to promote relaxation. They can also be ideal when seeking a kratom strain to possibly help you unwind and chill after a long day. Compared to Yellow, Kratom Gold strains generally learn more towards relaxation and even sedation; however, these effects are generally less pronounced than Red varieties.
As stated earlier, because Super Gold is sold and marketed without a strain name, effects may differ depending on the strains and/or processes used in producing it. In general, though, Gold Strains lean towards potential mood-boosting effects and relaxation effects. In contrast, yellows have a bit more potential energetic effects while leaning less towards relaxation than golds, so keep this in mind as a rule of thumb.
Super Gold Kratom may be slightly more potent than regular gold-vein subtypes, but regardless, all kratom products have this risk of side effects, and we detail some of the more common ones below to be aware of.
IMPORTANT: Although these are some of the common adverse effects seen with kratom and Super Gold kratom, in rare circumstances, some users might experience severe side effects and interactions with kratom. Mixing kratom products with certain medications, drugs, or other substances could drastically increase the risk of severe side effects and/or interactions. Also, certain medical conditions could put users at a much higher risk of severe adverse effects. Speaking with your doctor before using kratom is essential so that they can inform you of some of the risk factors and ones that might be specific to you.
Kratom may also be habit-forming due to some of its components. Your mind and body might become accustomed to kratom use if using kratom products daily over long periods. Educating yourself and fully understanding these risks by consulting with your doctor about them and reading resources such as on the FDA website is essential before starting the use of any kratom products.
Here are general dosage recommendations to help beginners find a starting point when taking Super Gold or any kratom strain; however, always discuss this with your doctor before putting any plan into place. It is also important to note that not much study has been done on kratom dosage, especially regarding different strains, so consult with your doctor and/or the vendor you plan to purchase your product from for more information.
