On this episode of the MP Podcast, host Lana Pribic interviews our founder, Ryan Latreille.
Ryan describes kanna (Sceletium tortuosum): a succulent from South Africa's Karoo region, its place in Khoi and San culture, and its ties to the eland antelope. He walks through the three main alkaloids — mesembrine, mesembrenone, and ∆7-mesembrenone — and how the profile determines what an extract feels like.
The conversation covers starting with a low serving, the difference between everyday use and a stronger single serving, and how we source: high-alkaloid strains from South African farms, lab testing on every lot, and a benefit sharing agreement that allocates 3% of all our Sceletium purchases to Khoi communities.
