When the community hears the word kratom, the first thing that often pops into their heads is their favorite strain. For some it may be green, others red or white. However, there’s one strain they should be focusing on: White Hulu. This is one of the rare strains of kratom but is considered one of the best. If it’s considered one of the best, why isn’t it more well-known? It all has to do with its origin.
What is White Hulu Kratom?
White Hulu kratom – or White Kapuas is one of the few rare strains of kratom. Recently, it’s become more popular, especially among first-time kratom users. It’s said to be ideal for the balanced and mild effects it has. According to users, it also has a unique aroma. It’s also a strain that doesn’t naturally occur. It’s a blend of strains to create it.
Origin of White Hulu
White Hulu comes from the kratom leaves native to Hulu Forests in Borneo, Indonesia. The Kapuas river runs through the area it’s grown. This makes the soil and minerals denser. However, it leads to a harder harvest. These remote locations it’s grown in aren’t easily accessible making this a rare strain and not widely available on the market. Not only do they grow in obscure areas, but the leaves also take longer to mature. Other types of kratom can be constantly produced and don’t need to wait as long to harvest the leaves.
What Makes White Hulu Unique
Several things make White Hulu highly sought after. One of the reasons people seek it out for the perceived effects with it.
- Many recommend it for first-time users because it doesn’t have the strong effects other strains do. This strain is considered more balanced and milder making it more popular for people who aren’t used to the effects of kratom.
- Another reason is the rarity. Some rare strains have a reputation for being better than the widely available strains. This is true in some cases, but not all. White Hulu is one of the better kratom strains because of the location it’s grown in. It’s also the hardest to harvest.
- White Hulu has a lot of alkaloids present. Like with any strain of kratom, the primary alkaloids are mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine. These alkaloids are backed by science and contribute to the affect kratom has on the body. There are many different alkaloids in White Hulu, 25 in total.
Some of these alkaloids include
- 7-aceroxymitragynine
- Epicatechin
- Isomitraphyllin
- Paynanthein
- Specogynin.
Each alkaloid may have a different effect on the body or assist in another. Despite White Hulu having so many kinds of alkaloids, it’s not considered an overpowered kratom. Although, many users claim it’s similar to the White Maeng Da strain but milder and better. This can be because of the type of alkaloids present or where it’s grown.

Kratom isn’t a one size fits all and there’s a lot of trial and error. One person may take a certain strain and be okay, while another person could get gravely ill.
