Where it sits in the range. This is the middle rung of our high-potency ladder. Below it are the everyday powders, MELLOW FS3 at 4.5% and GLOW MZQ at 5.5%. Above it are Kanna Extract Powder 15%, 20% and 24%. At 8.6% a scoop that would be ordinary for a 5% powder is already well past where you want to be, so re-measure rather than reusing habit. The full lineup is in Kanna Powder Extracts & Resins.

Alkaloid profile.

  • Mesembrine, around 80%: the bright, lifted, sociable lead, and the dominant character here
  • Mesembrenone, around 10%: calmer and more body-focused
  • Delta-7-mesembrenone, around 10%: the quieter, settling end of the profile

Use methods.

  • Sublingual: under the tongue until it dissolves, then swallow. Fastest and cleanest.
  • In a drink: stir into a warm beverage for a slower, smoother arrival.
  • Capsule: convenient, slowest onset.

Regular use. Once you know your response, stay at that spoon level. Tolerance builds with daily use, and a short break restores your response better than a larger portion. Wait for a serving to peak and fade before considering more.

Interactions and cautions.

  • Do not combine 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 during pregnancy or nursing, or by anyone with a heart condition
  • For adults 21 and over; keep out of reach of children, since a small spill is a lot of alkaloid

Storage. Sealed, cool, dry and dark. Extract powder draws moisture from the air and clumped powder is harder to measure accurately.

Common questions

  • Why does the percentage say roughly? Kanna is a plant and batches land slightly differently. We state the figure the batch is built around rather than an exact number.
  • Is this a beginner extract? No. At 8.6% the margin between a small serving and too much is narrow. Start with a lower-percentage powder if kanna is new to you.
  • How does it compare to the 15% extract? The 15% is nearly twice as concentrated, so its servings are smaller again. This one is the step before it.
  • What does the included spoon measure? It is a dual-ended 5mg and 15mg spoon, which matches the suggested range on the label.

What is Kanna?

Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) is an indigenous South African succulent plant with a rich ethnobotanical history as a natural mood booster and cognitive enhancer. Renowned for its unique ability to promote both deep relaxation and sharp mental clarity simultaneously, this potent botanical groundcover is fast becoming the go-to herbal alternative for modern stress management and flow-state support. Kanna works by directly interacting with the central nervous system through its rich profile of active, naturally occurring mesembrine alkaloids.

KANNA EXTRACT - A revolution

Kanna Extract is a new revolutionary type of botanical extract only possible with choice genetics and isolated alkaloids, standardized for a consistent extract. Highly refined- perfect for mixing, formulation or just enjoying in a cup of tea.

Nature's Mood Booster

For centuries, indigenous communities like the San and Khoikhoi relied on this resilient succulent to sustain them through long, taxing journeys, using it to stave off physical fatigue and elevate their spirits. Today, this ancient botanical has transitioned from traditional campfires to modern wellness routines, prized for its unique ability to harmonize the mind.

At the heart of Kanna's appeal is its ability to foster a sense of calm without the accompanying heavy fog of drowsiness. By gently interacting with the brain's chemistry to support serotonin levels, the natural compounds found within the kanna plant acts as a natural buffer against modern stressors, helping to quiet a racing mind. Kanna invites a grounded, earthly state of emotional balance, making it a popular choice for those looking to connect further with themselves and their community.

Beyond sheer relaxation, Kanna offers a surprising paradox: it simultaneously sharpens mental clarity and hones concentration. Rather than sedating the user, it provides a clean, jitter-free surge of cognitive energy that helps keep distractions at bay during demanding tasks. This dual nature makes it an intriguing, plant-based ally for anyone seeking to navigate their day with both a calm heart and a highly focused mind.
