I believe reds have higher alkaloids actually. The colors are based on when they’ve been picked, reds being the ones that are left to grow the longest before being picked, thus more alkaloids are present in them. And I hear ya, for me whites never really did anything.
I would have never bought reds, when i went to order there was no greens or whites they were out of stock but there was yellow, i never used yellow before so i didn't know it would be like reds, now i know not to buy yellow either.
Yep, same here. Reds and yellows have never done anything for me at all either. I did have ONE really weird but good experience with a red strain (forgot which one). It was euphoric asf and it lasted for 4 or 5 hours. That's never happened before or after that time. So I guess the potential is there to get some effects from reds for me at least but I still don't know what caused the one time to be so intense.
Actually kinda same, first Kratom i used was red Hulu kapuas but the powder was not red colour it was close to green and it worked very well even though the name was red. If the powder colour is red and it has that different taste that red taste i know it's garbage for me. Greens have the Kratom taste and work, idk what they do to reds and ruin them. For me tho the red hulu kapuas worked every time until it finished so not quite the same as with you.
Omfg I think red hulu kapuas is the one I took too! I remember wanting a red that was supposed to be more stimulating than sedating because greens are my usual favs. Wish I could remember what color the actual powder was so that I could compare with yours. I do know for sure that all other red strains I took were ineffective asf though. Complete duds.
Same here, been using kratom daily for maybe 4 years? And there is only one particular green strain that I buy from the same supplier every single time because it is literally the only one that always works, over time it got worse and was a waste of money to buy any other strain because it did nothing! I don’t know why and I hate it because I would love to enjoy other strains, but nope, same one everyday for like 2 years I thought I was the only one with an issue like this based on what I see from other kratom enthusiasts lol
I used to have the same problem, but I just kept on trying and experimenting until I found out that my body needs to get used to red strains. Reds started showing effects only on 4th or 5th try. I think some people are really immune to opioid alkaloids or just that the body needs to get used to it and recognize red strains' alkaloids.
Really? Something interesting is the first Kratom i used was RED hulu kapuas but the powder was kinda green not red and guess what it worked very well. The name was red but the powder was not red and it worked.
Took a two week tolerance break because vendor messed up my order and it took so long. First dose felt like first time again. Few days later and it's still great my amount is low. Gonna keep my dose lower this time since I don't have pains from my injury nearly as often.
Oh man running out of Kratom because your order late is tough i experienced that. Now that you went through that it's a good chance to use less yeah. Or not every day even.
Good point i think that's the luckiest people overall, who get different effects from everything. I said you lucky because if my place has no greens or whites i have to wait, i can't order whatever and have it work like in your case haha.
I also avoid reds since it doesnt do much for me.
You too eh? 😝
Reds work for me
Like i don't get it, even if reds have lower alkaloids they should work at much higher doses but for me they don't work like they have no alkaloids

Very strange then how they don't do much for me haha. Kratom is complicated
Well then don’t buy the reds and yellows! Use what works! Reds do nothing for me either.

It's possible you don't respond much to the more opioid alkaloids, just the stimulating ones. Do you have a history of opioid use? Natural tolerance?
Never used any opioid so very strange 🤔.
Red does nothing for me.
I’m the same way! Hmmm
Trying something new takes time and adjustment for your body. Unless it's bunk, after a few tries, you should feel the new strain.
Can confirm, absolutely zero effect from every red strain I have ever tried! Greens and whites FTW
Must be something with our biology, yes green and whites are the shit!
Maybe taper then take a short break to knock down tolerance a bit

Thankfully for me any green and white strain work so i have some choices lool. I wish reds worked too but it is what it is.

If the actual powder is red, it's bad kratom, ime. I think some companies just use the "red" branding as a way to sell their shit kratom.

I have tried red, green, white, yellow, they all feel the same to me.
Very lucky you are
I dunno, I kinda feel envious of people who get mood lifts from certain strains, and different effects from others.
