On this episode of the PT Podcast, our founder, Ryan Latreille, joins the hosts to talk about kanna (Sceletium tortuosum).
Ryan shares how he started working with kanna more than a decade ago, how that led to founding Hearthstone Collective and later Kanna Extract Co., and how he works with a Khoi tribal leader to source high-alkaloid kanna.
The conversation covers kanna's history among the peoples of southern Africa, its alkaloids and how different profiles shape the felt effect, and what separates a well-made extract from raw plant material.
Kanna is serotonergic. Consult a healthcare provider before use, especially if you take any serotonergic medication or supplement.
