BLISS Kanna Extract Powder — 1g, 20% Mesembrenone

BLISS is the one you feel in your body. Warm and loose in your shoulders and your breathing, without the pull toward lying down.

Mesembrine, the bright and social alkaloid, stays high at 65%. Mesembrenone, the calm one, sits at 20%. Δ7-mesembrenone, the sedating one, stays lower here than in REST. That combination is why BLISS suits a quiet evening and suits company equally well.

1 gram. 5% total alkaloids guaranteed, 33mg mesembrine per gram, 40 servings of 25mg. Kanna works from a single serving — there is no loading period.

Important safety information

Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) contains alkaloids with serotonergic activity. Do not use this product if you are taking an SSRI, SNRI, MAO inhibitor, tricyclic antidepressant, lithium, triptan, tramadol, dextromethorphan, St. John's Wort, 5-HTP, or any other serotonergic medication or supplement, unless you have first consulted the prescribing clinician. Combining serotonergic substances can cause serotonin syndrome, a rare but serious condition.

Not for use by anyone under 18, or by people who are pregnant or nursing. Consult a physician before use if you have a diagnosed medical condition. Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how this product affects you. Discontinue use and seek medical attention if you experience adverse effects.

Most mood supplements ask for three weeks before they tell you anything. Kanna answers the same day. One serving and you know whether it works for you.

What separates one kanna extract from another is the alkaloid ratio, and almost no kanna on the market states it. That is why two products at the same price can feel completely different, or like nothing at all. Ours is published on the label and the minimum is guaranteed on every lot.

Why BLISS feels the way it does

Three alkaloids do the work, and they pull in different directions.

  • Mesembrine — the bright, social one. 65% of the alkaloid content, 33mg per gram. High enough that BLISS stays clear and functional.
  • Mesembrenone — the calm one. 20% of the alkaloid content. This is where the warmth in the body comes from.
  • Δ7-mesembrenone — the sedating one. 15% of the alkaloid content. REST carries 25%. That gap is why BLISS relaxes your body without making you want to lie down.

LIFT is the outward one. BLISS makes you want to stay where you are, which works just as well on a couch as it does with people. Relaxing or social, it goes either way.

What to expect

The effect is physical more than mental — ease in the shoulders, easier breathing, relaxed through the body, without the pull toward lying down.

Onset is usually around 30 minutes — sooner on an empty stomach, longer with food. Effects last two to three hours.

One serving does its work that afternoon. Kanna does not build up over weeks, so there is no loading period.

Slightly bitter — most people don't mind it and some do.

Some people feel very little the first time. Try it once more at the same serving before deciding it isn't for you.

How to take it

A serving is 25mg, roughly two to three micro-scoops. The scoop holds about 10mg, so treat it as a guide rather than a measure. Use a milligram scale if you want precision.

Held under the tongue for 10 to 15 minutes is the most direct route. Stirred into tea, coffee, or cacao works too and is easier on the taste.

Start with one serving and wait before taking more.

Testing

Every lot is tested by an independent laboratory: alkaloid profile by HPLC, plus screening for heavy metals, pesticides, residual solvents, and microbial contamination.

Sourcing

Grown in South Africa without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. Sceletium falls under South Africa's Bioprospecting, Access and Benefit Sharing regulations and the Nagoya Protocol, because its use rests on Khoi and San traditional knowledge. Our grower holds the BABS permitting and the benefit-sharing agreement with the Khoi communities who hold that knowledge.

Common questions

How long before I feel it, and how long does it last?

Usually around 30 minutes — sooner on an empty stomach, longer with food. Effects last two to three hours.

How much BLISS should I take?

Start with one 25mg serving, roughly two to three micro-scoops. Most people don't need more than that. Wait before adding a second serving.

How is BLISS different from LIFT?

Both are 5% total alkaloids. LIFT is 80% mesembrine and 5% Δ7-mesembrenone — bright, social, outward. BLISS drops mesembrine to 65% and raises mesembrenone to 20%, which moves the effect out of your head and into your body. It is the less outward of the two.

How is BLISS different from REST?

REST carries 25% Δ7-mesembrenone, the sedating alkaloid, against BLISS's 15%. REST pulls toward winding down and sleep. BLISS gives you the physical ease without that pull, so it still works during the day or in company.

What does 5% total alkaloids mean?

Alkaloids are the active compounds in kanna. 5% means 50mg of alkaloids per gram of powder. It is a guaranteed minimum, not a typical value — every lot is assayed and has to clear it. Most kanna on the market never states this number at all.

What does it taste like?

Slightly bitter and earthy. Most people don't mind it and some do. Stirring it into tea, coffee, or cacao covers it well.

Does kanna contain caffeine?

No. There are no stimulants in it. This is pure Sceletium tortuosum extract with nothing added.

Can I take kanna with an antidepressant?

Not without talking to your prescriber first. Kanna's alkaloids act on serotonin, and combining serotonergic substances carries a real risk. This applies to SSRIs, SNRIs, MAO inhibitors, tricyclics, lithium, triptans, tramadol, dextromethorphan, St. John's Wort, and 5-HTP.

Is kanna legal?

Kanna is not a controlled substance in the United States and is sold here as a dietary supplement. Regulations differ by country, so check your local law before ordering internationally.

Can I take it every day?

Many customers do. Some prefer to use it on specific days rather than continuously. We'd rather you find your own pattern than follow a schedule we invented.

How should I store it?

Sealed, in a cool dry place, out of direct sunlight. Keep it away from children and pets.

What if it doesn't work for me?

Some people feel very little the first time. If it isn't for you, we refund the product cost regardless of how much is left in the jar. Return shipping is on you.
