The herb. Kanna, Sceletium tortuosum, is a small, ground-hugging succulent in the Aizoaceae family from the Karoo of South Africa. For generations the San and Khoikhoi peoples chewed, brewed and fermented it, and the name kanna comes from their word for the eland antelope. Modern extraction simply moves the plant's alkaloids, mesembrine, mesembrenone, delta-7-mesembrenone and mesembranol, into a liquid that can be dosed by the drop or diffused, and the balance among those alkaloids is what gives a preparation its personality.

Active content. The current listing does not state an alkaloid percentage or a milligram-per-milliliter figure for this liquid, so we do not quote one; what it states is that the extract is lab-verified and the batches are consistent, which is the point of buying in bulk. In kanna, mesembrine is the brighter, uplifting alkaloid, while mesembrenone and delta-7-mesembrenone are calmer and more body-focused, and a full-plant extract carries all of them together. Users describe this liquid's feel as relaxing and balanced rather than sharply energizing, which fits a rounded alkaloid profile.

Dosage, first time. The listing gives no serving, so start small. Taken as a tincture, place a few drops under the tongue, hold them for a moment, and wait; sublingual kanna comes on within the first half hour and builds from there. Wait a full two hours before adding more so you judge the full effect rather than the first wave. If you decant it into your own dropper bottles, label each with the batch and date.

Regular use. Once you know your response, find the number of drops that works and keep it there; bulk supply is not a reason to use more. Shops filling retail bottles should keep the serving on their own labels modest and tell customers to start low.

What to expect. Users describe this kanna liquid as a smooth, gentle, balanced calm: relaxed and present, socially at ease, with the edge taken off and no heaviness. It suits a retailer building a kanna line, a formulator blending kanna into their own products, or a regular user who has settled on a liquid format and wants it by the gallon. It is not a measured, standardized dosing product; for that see our Kanna Liquid 1% Extract Gallon, which states its alkaloid standardization, and for the same refill in a pocket-sized 2oz bottle see our Kanna aromatherapy refill Juice.

Side effects. Kanna's side effects are dose-related in any format. Too many drops in a sitting can bring mild nausea, a headache, jitteriness or a dip in appetite; reduce the next serving or skip it, drink water, and it passes as the kanna clears. Because bulk containers make it easy to pour generously, measure by the dropper rather than by eye.

Interactions and cautions.

• Do not combine kanna with SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs or other serotonergic medications, including triptans, tramadol and St. John's Wort, because of the risk of serotonin syndrome
• Do not use with alcohol
• Not for use if pregnant or nursing, or if you have a heart condition
• Shops and distributors reselling this liquid are responsible for carrying these cautions onto their own labels
• For adults 21+ only, and keep out of reach of children

Ingredients and storage. Lab-verified kanna extract (Sceletium tortuosum) in a smooth liquid base. Store the sealed container in a cool, dark place away from heat and sunlight, and decant into smaller amber bottles for daily use rather than opening the bulk container repeatedly.
