The herb. Kanna is Sceletium tortuosum, a small succulent in the Aizoaceae family that spreads along the ground in the Karoo of South Africa. The San and Khoikhoi peoples chewed and fermented it for generations, and the name kanna is their word for the eland antelope. The plant's alkaloids, mesembrine, mesembrenone, delta-7-mesembrenone and mesembranol, work as a set, with the balance between them giving each preparation its character.

Active content. Each triangle contains 50mg of kanna extract; the maker does not publish the extract's alkaloid percentage, so we do not quote one.

• Within kanna, mesembrine brings the brighter, more uplifting quality and mesembrenone and delta-7-mesembrenone the calmer, more body-centered ease
• The adaptogenic mushrooms add an earthy, grounding note
• Damiana contributes a gentle warmth that pairs naturally with chocolate
• Guarana, a caffeine-bearing Amazonian seed, adds a light, energizing lift

The result is built to balance uplift with a calm, centered feel rather than lean hard in either direction.

Dosage, first time. Start with one triangle and let it dissolve slowly rather than chewing it down. Because it travels through digestion, onset is slower than a spray or sublingual powder; effects typically begin within 30 to 45 minutes and continue to build after that. Wait until the first triangle has clearly peaked and settled before thinking about a second, and on a first session stop at one.

Regular use. Once you know your response, adjust the serving gradually if you need to, keeping in mind that each triangle adds another 50mg of extract and another share of guarana. Most regular users find a single square is right for an evening. Food, rest and how much caffeine you have already had that day all change how it lands, so keep the serving where it works rather than climbing.

What to expect. Users describe Flow as a warm, mellow lift with a creative, present quality: relaxed but not sleepy, sociable but not wired. It suits unwinding after a long day, settling into music or a creative project, or opening a social evening without alcohol. It is not a fast-acting format and not a high-potency one; for a quicker, lighter chew from the same maker try the Fun Guy DRIP Kanna Fruit Chews, and for our own house-made gummy see the Kanna Gummies 30mg.

Side effects. Kanna's side effects follow the dose. Eating more chocolate than you need can bring mild nausea, a headache, a jittery feeling or a smaller appetite, and the guarana can add to the jitters in people sensitive to caffeine. If you notice any of this, stop at the square you are on, drink water and let it pass as the kanna clears over the next few hours.

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, if you have a heart condition, or if you take prescription medications without consulting a qualified healthcare professional
• Fun Guy labels these for adults 18 and over; Healing Herbals sells kanna products to adults 21+ only
• Keep out of reach of children, and keep away from pets, since chocolate is harmful to dogs
