Kanna Liquid Extract Tincture 10ml High Potency (Sceletium Tortuosum)

Kanna Liquid Extract Tincture 10ml High Potency (Sceletium Tortuosum) is our smallest and most concentrated liquid kanna, a 10ml dropper bottle of standardized Sceletium tortuosum extract, suspended on mannitol and carried in vegetable glycerin. It is alcohol-free, non-GMO and built for a full-spectrum kanna experience in a serving of a few drops. The extract is sourced from South Africa, grown through benefit-sharing partnerships with the South African San Council, the traditional custodians of Sceletium knowledge, and formulated by Healing Herbals. It is sold as a single 10ml bottle.

The herb. Kanna is Sceletium tortuosum, a low succulent of the Aizoaceae family from the Karoo. It has been part of Khoisan tradition for generations: the San and Khoikhoi crushed and fermented the plant, dried it, and chewed it on long journeys and at gatherings, and they named it for the eland antelope. The plant's four principal alkaloids, mesembrine, mesembrenone, delta-7-mesembrenone and mesembranol, occur in ratios that vary by plant and by curing, so a standardized extract like the one in this bottle exists to make each drop deliver a consistent balance of them.

Active content. A standardized, full-spectrum kanna extract on mannitol in vegetable glycerin. The label does not print an alkaloid percentage, so we do not quote one. Full-spectrum means all four alkaloids are present in their natural relationship:

• Mesembrine: the lifted, clear-headed, sociable side
• Mesembrenone and delta-7-mesembrenone: the calmer, warmer, body-focused side
• Mesembranol: rounds the whole

The glycerin base is sweet, which takes the edge off kanna's natural bitterness.

Dosage, first time. Take 1 to 6 drops sublingually, and start at 1 drop. Let the drop sit under the tongue for a moment before swallowing so the mouth lining does part of the work; effects are noticed in 10 to 30 minutes. Alternatively, add the drops to tea or a mocktail, which gives a slower, softer onset through digestion. Because a drop is a small unit and this is a concentrated extract, do not add more until the first serving has fully arrived and leveled off.

Regular use. Stay within the 1 to 6 drop range and do not exceed 6 drops per serving. Most regular users find a personal number within that window and keep it, adjusting down on empty-stomach days and never up simply because a serving felt light. For daily use the 2oz bottles are more economical. Take a break now and then to keep your response steady.

What to expect. Users describe a clear, lifted calm with an easy social warmth, arriving quickly by the sublingual route and holding for a few hours, with a gentler body relaxation underneath. It suits a morning of work, a social lunch, a hike or a wind-down when you want to be present rather than sedated. It is not a heavy evening format and it is not a large-volume tincture. For the same alcohol-free approach in a full-size bottle, see our Kanna Tincture Alcohol Free 2oz; if you prefer a traditional grain-alcohol tincture, see the Kanna Tincture Alcohol Based 2oz.

Side effects. With a concentrated tincture, side effects are a question of drops. Too many can bring a queasy stomach, a headache, a jittery or restless feeling or a dampened appetite, all of which are dose-related and fade as the kanna clears. If you notice any of them, do not take more; wait it out and cut back at the next serving. Stop use if discomfort persists.

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, so keep the mocktail a mocktail
• Not for use during pregnancy or nursing, or for anyone with a heart condition
• Consult your healthcare provider before use if you take any medication or supplement
• For adults 21 and over; keep out of reach of children

Ingredients and storage. Standardized kanna extract (Sceletium tortuosum) suspended on mannitol, vegetable glycerin. Non-GMO and alcohol-free. Store the bottle upright and capped in a cool, dark, dry place; glycerin tinctures do not need refrigeration but should be kept out of heat and sun, and the bottle should be shaken gently before use so the extract stays evenly distributed.
