Kanna is non-toxic, non-addictive, and has proven efficacy in some of the most important aspects of health and wellbeing, including:
Improving mood and mental health, relieving stress and anxiousness, improving cognition and memory, facilitating love and connection, and improving sleep.
Kanna measurably enhances the function of neurotransmitters closely associated with feelings of positivity, connection, and safety.

When you take your first dose of Kanna you’ll immediately notice the pepper+mint sensation move through your mouth.
This enlivening sensation will naturally draw your attention to your breath and heart center. For most people, within 10 - 15 minutes a gentle feeling of peaceful calm and content happiness will begin to blanket you.
With consistent, regular use of Kanna you may find that you are less reactive to triggers, feel more optimistic and outgoing, and find deeper connection in your relationships and the things you enjoy.
The effects of Kanna could best be described as nourishing the Heart + Mind connection, and bringing these two modes of thinking and feeling into harmony.

Where do you get your Kanna?
Our Kanna comes from South Africa.
We work with several different growers on the West Coast of the country that have over 20 years of experience cultivating high alkaloid sceletium (kanna) strains.
They use beyond organic standards for their cultivation methods. Zero chemicals, synthetic fertilizers, or non-organic inputs are used in the entire cultivation process.
Plus, a percentage of all sales from the Kanna we purchase goes to support the indigenous San communities of South Africa.
Is your Kanna certified organic?
There is not an official organic certification process for Kanna at this time.
However, since Kanna is a hardy succulent that grows in sand, there is little need for synthetic inputs or pesticides, and most growers do not use them.
We only work with growers that follow beyond organic and ethical growing practices.
How are your formulas tested?
Every ingredient is thoroughly tested for purity and contaminants, including microbial screening for any bacteria, yeast, and mold; heavy metals; pesticides; as well as testing for purity and active compounds.
Can I take Kanna while on medication?
First, we are not doctors and cannot give medical advice.
If you are on any prescription medications or health protocols, it is very important that you have a conversation with your prescribing physician before taking Kanna. It is especially important to talk with your doctor if you are prescribed SSRI or MAOI medication.
