Yellow Vietnam kratom is thought to be harvested as white veined leaf before undergoing a secondary curing process in the sun, altering its colour. It appears to be less similar to its highly-stimulating white-veined precursor, and more comparable to Red Vietnam.
The strain is perhaps best described as mildly euphoric and moderately stimulating, potentially providing an elevation in mood as well as slight invigoration. In addition, it seems to be somewhat sedating, with some users citing its ability to temporarily alleviate generalized anxiety. Reports indicate that it may be competently pain relieving.
Yellow Vietnam’s duration of effects may be above average for a moderately-sized dose (2.5-5g). We currently have no evidence to suggest that it is any more or less nauseating than other strains.
