We're thrilled to share this episode of Mitolife Radio, where our founder Ryan Latreille joins the host to discuss the fascinating world of Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) and its potential for mood support, energy, and overall wellness.
In this informative conversation, Ryan shares how his journey with plant medicines led him to Kanna, a succulent plant from South Africa revered by the indigenous San and Khoi tribes. Known for its rich array of alkaloids—more complex than many other botanicals—Kanna has a profound impact on the central nervous system, gently influencing various pathways in the body for uplifting effects.
Ryan explains the science behind Kanna, including its role in supporting serotonin pathways and PDE4 activity, which contribute to enhanced mood, focus, and vitality without overwhelming the user. He highlights traditional uses among tribes for daily stamina and social rituals, and modern applications like incorporating it into coffee for an energizing boost or using it in other forms for relaxation.
