The herb. Kanna is a Karoo succulent of the Aizoaceae family chewed and fermented by the San and Khoikhoi. Blue lotus is the Nile water lily of ancient Egypt; reishi and lion's mane are the two mushrooms; magnesium is the one non-botanical.

What's in it. Kanna gives mesembrine, mesembrenone and delta-7-mesembrenone; blue lotus carries nuciferine and aporphine; reishi brings triterpenes and beta-glucans; lion's mane brings hericenones and erinacines. No milligram amounts are listed, so the can is the serving.

Dosage and use. Serve cold and sip. If new to kanna or blue lotus, start with part of a can and wait, since the botanicals come on over the first half hour. Once you know your response, one can is the serving. Do not stack it with other kanna the same evening, and space cans out, since tolerance builds.

What to expect. Users describe Sensori as social, warm and relaxed with a clear head. It is not a caffeinated energy drink, a heavy nightcap or a sweet soda. For a stronger, adjustable form, our 5% Brown Kanna Extract lets you measure your own serving.

Side effects. Too much can bring mild nausea, headache, jitteriness or a dip in appetite. Blue lotus at higher amounts can add drowsiness or dry mouth, and the mushrooms or magnesium may loosen digestion. If any show up, stop at one can; if it persists, stop use.

Interactions and cautions. Do not combine with SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs or other serotonergic medications, including triptans, tramadol and St. John's Wort (serotonin syndrome risk). Avoid alcohol and sedatives. Consult a professional if you take blood-thinning medication or have surgery scheduled (reishi), or have a kidney condition (magnesium). Not if pregnant, nursing or with a heart condition. Mushroom allergy is possible. Adults 21+ only; do not drive until you know your response.

Ingredients and storage. Kanna extract (Sceletium tortuosum), blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea), reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), lion's mane (Hericium erinaceus) and magnesium in a cucumber raspberry base. Store refrigerated or in a cool, dark place, serve chilled, and do not freeze.
