Kanna: History, Science & Sourcing — PT Podcast Interview

LISTEN TO THE PODCAST

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.
