If you are unfamiliar with the diversity of kratom, a white vein strain is the place to start. White Borneo emanates from the jungles of Borneo; hence the name, this rare white gem is loaded with over 25 different types of alkaloids making it one of the more potent strains. The stems to these plants are usually more weak than the leaf itself, kratom farmers will typically remove the branch in order to ensure all chemical compounds are protected and buyers obtain the most natural results.
