Maeng Da is an extremely potent, strong blend of Kratom. The volume of the two primary alkaloids found in Kratom, 7-hydroxymitragynine and mitragynine, is larger than in some other varieties of Kratom. Pimp grade, while used pejoratively in Thai, represents something of status and edginess in the Western world. Thus, this potent variety became a marketing boon, with the name driving forward much of its popularity.

Mitragynine is believed to be primarily responsible for some strains’ energizing effects.

7-hydroxymitragynine is believed to contribute to some strains’ mild sedative effects.

The balance of these two alkaloids makes Green Maeng Da incredibly versatile, offering either a morning energy boost or an end-of-day relaxing experience.
