Now, I know what you’re thinking, “I thought you said there’s only 3 kratom strains.” That’s still true, so where does yellow strain kratom fit in?
There’s a few different things that can give kratom a yellow hue. Some people say yellow kratom is created by picking kratom leaves later in the growing process.

TRYING KRATOM FOR THE FIRST TIME
For those of you that are experiencing kratom for the first time, it’s important to know how to take your kratom.
I always recommend starting out slow, no matter what kratom powder you’re taking. If you’ve never took kratom before, be mindful, be safe as possible. While most kratom users would agree kratom is safe, you may be the one of the minority that experiences side effects from kratom. I want you to be safe too. Take your kratom alone, I would recommend taking kratom with alcohol. Definitely don’t take kratom with other drugs, that’s very dangerous.
When you take your first kratom dose, easy does it. Start out with 1-2 grams and give it 30-45 minutes to kick in. If you haven’t felt any effects within the hour, try taking 1-2 more grams. Wait another 30-45 minutes, you should start feeling effects by this time.

Just remember, everyone of the powders that exist come from the 3 main kratom strains. Get to know them, continue to do your research, and educate yourself about them. Ultimately, find the strain that has the benefits you’re looking for and begin trying kratom powders in that particular strain.
Eventually, you’ll find the right kratom type for you.
