Red Vein Borneo Kratom Review
Red Vein Borneo Kratom is one of the most popular strains on the market, frequently praised by both new users and connoisseurs. It shares many of the same qualities as other red vein varieties, including strong analgesic effects.
It gets its name honestly. The strain is grown primarily in Borneo, located in a cluster of islands that stretch from Vietnam in the north to Australia in the south. Borneo is the third-largest island in the world, governed primarily by Indonesia.
Red Vein Borneo Kratom grows abundantly around the island’s scattered riverbanks. Locals claim these nutrient-rich soils account for the strain’s unique alkaloid profile compared to other red varieties. Our experience confirms this. This strain brings a deeply satisfying, euphoric experience, and strong pain relief at higher doses.
The Benefits Of Red Vein Borneo
As with all Kratom strains, Red Vein Borneo delivers different effects based on dosage. This makes it a great place to start for people new to Kratom and looking to learn more about it. You can sculpt your experience to suit your needs by adjusting your dose accordingly.
Before we talk about our own experience with this popular strain, let’s take a look at what it’s best for.
Chronic Pain
Red Borneo is an excellent strain for those the suffer from chronic pain. It offers a spectrum of relief depending on dosage. At lower levels, general aches and pains become more manageable. Muscles relax and bothersome pains are forgotten. Higher doses reduce mobility but increase the plants analgesic effects. At 10 to 12 grams, complete pain relief is available, accompanied by deep relaxation.
Anxiety & Depression
Individuals that suffer from anxiety or depression will find significant relief from this and other red vein Kratom strains. Moderate doses bring a clear-headed, calming effect paired with a confident detachment that helps with social anxiety, trauma relief, and other related issues.
Users also report a positive uplift to their mood and a boost to their energy levels that helps to clear the cobwebs of depression. And because both depression and anxiety are often accompanied by mental and physical pain, Red Borneo’s analgesic properties provide holistic relief.
Addiction
Opiate users, both prescription and illicit, can find relief from withdrawal with Red Vein Borneo Kratom. Not only can it replace opiates as a non-habit forming pain killer, but its other properties can also help manage some of the mental withdrawal symptoms that come with kicking the habit.
Our Red Vein Borneo Experience
Because this strain’s effects are dose-dependant, we’re dividing our review into dosage brackets. First, our team took a low dose of three grams. Two to three grams is a good place to start for people with more of a tolerance for Kratom. For more information, check out our How To Take Kratom article.
Low Dose
Starting with 3 grams, we started feeling something after about 45 minutes. At this dose, the effects can be difficult to detect at first, but soon enough, we all felt alert and alive as if we’d just downed a double shot of espresso.
Our minds were clear and focused, and we all fell easily into an enjoyable conversation. It was a mild but pleasant experience. One of us had a headache going in, but at some point, she realized the pain had gone. Overall the experience was similar to most other Kratom strains at this dose.
Moderate Dose
Our second experience with Red Vein Borneo, we upped our dose to 6 grams. Most people consider a moderate dose to sit between 5 and 7 grams, though for some, 7 grams is pushing into high dose territory. It’s worth noting that dosage is different for every person, depending on factors including height, weight, tolerance, and body chemistry to name a few.
At this dose, we started feeling the initial tingle after about 20 minutes. The feeling spread nicely over the next hour, planting us all firmly in our seats. Feeling a sense of calm, we broke out in laughter as our worries melted away. A happy detachment replaced any anxiety we had felt prior.
Notably absent from this experience, was the energy boost experienced from a lower dose. We were definitely feeling this strains sedative and pain relieving effects that day.
High Dose
Unless you suffer from pain that’s difficult to manage, or you’re an experienced user, high doses are often unnecessary. Significant relief from pain, depression, and anxiety can be found at more moderate levels. But if you need it (or want it), higher doses can be a fun experience.
For our third session, we took 12 grams. That’s a very high dose, one that should be reserved for experienced users. We weren’t entirely sure what to expect. The explosive rush that tends to accompany white varieties wasn’t there. Instead, we experienced a steady build up as the plants effects kicked in.
Energy? Forget about it. The coffee zip we experienced at lower doses was entirely replaced by full-body sedation. My back was bothering me that day, and about an hour and a half in, the pain had vanished. We all noted a strong analgesic effect that was tied to the relaxation that had taken over.
At lower doses, you can go about your life like you would after a venti latte from Starbucks. But 12 grams in, we weren’t going anywhere. Our energy levels were lower than when we started, and the rush of euphoria was enough to glue us to our seats. We had a fantastic time!
Conclusion
We all agreed we’d happily entertain another evening of Red Borneo and would recommend it to anyone looking for the therapeutic benefits of Kratom. Red Vein Borneo Kratom is an excellent choice for beginners and experienced users alike. If you’re looking for a good red vein, you can’t go wrong with this one!
