The main benefit of this strain is the mood improvement and building motivation that can sometimes be at a pretty low level. Many people compare its effects to the effects produced by caffeine. Like most other kratom strains, you will be able to choose between red, white, and greed subtypes. The red one is pretty efficient when it comes to relieving the pain, just like aspirin, and the green one has the usual effects we already described.
