Wanting to take advantage of the calming and mood-boosting effects of Kanna, but questioning whether to give the old dried herb a go or the modern extract? You're not alone. With ever-increasing numbers of people using this ancient South African plant, there is a very real question that still lingers: Do I take a quality Kanna extract, or will the dried herb work?

In this article, we will discuss the differences between Kanna extracts and dried Kanna, and why the right form can make your whole experience wonderful and effective.

Dried Kanna: The Ancient Way

Dried Kanna is simply raw plant material that has been fermented and cured. It is natural, something that has been used by native people for centuries.

Advantages of Dried Kanna:

• Natural and unprocessed – Closest to the raw plant.

• Suits conventional preparation techniques such as chewing or the preparation of herbal medicines.

• Generally less costly per gram.

Considerations:

• Its strength also varies depending on the source and preparation.

• More doses are needed to get the desired effect.

• Slower onset compared to in extracts.

Dehydrated Kanna would most appropriately be utilized by people interested in traditional herbalism or wanting to create herbal remedies for themselves.

Kanna Extracts: Powerful, Efficient, Convenient

Kanna extracts are derived from a special process that isolates part of the alkaloids, specifically mesembrine and mesembrenone, which are the most active Kanna constituents, as believed.

Advantages of Kanna Extracts:

• More potent at low doses.
