Which kanna extract is right for you
Every extract is the same plant. What changes is the alkaloid ratio — and the ratio is what you feel. Listed calmest to brightest.
| Extract | Mesembrine | Use |
|---|---|---|
| REST | 50% | Calm, meditative, evening |
| BLISS | 65% | Warm, body, open |
| LIFT | 80% | Bright, social, daytime |
| DROPS | 90% | Brightest ratio, liquid |
| LIFT XR | 150mg/g | LIFT concentrated |
Most kanna sold never states its alkaloid content at all. That is why two products at the same price can feel completely different — or like nothing.
LIFT is standardized to a guaranteed minimum of 5% total alkaloids, with mesembrine making up 80% of that: 40mg per gram. Same spec every batch, verified by HPLC on every lot.
At that ratio LIFT sits at the bright, daytime end of kanna's range — awake, social, easy in conversation. BLISS trades some of that mesembrine for mesembrenone, the calm one, and reads warm and body-centred rather than outward. REST goes further still, carrying five times LIFT's Δ7-mesembrenone — the sedating one — which is what makes it an evening extract. LIFT XR is the same profile concentrated, for people who already know how kanna sits with them.
What to expect
Kanna is not dramatic. Most people describe it as feeling more like themselves on a good day than like having taken something.
Onset is usually around 30 minutes — sooner on an empty stomach, longer with food. Effects last two to three hours.
Some people feel very little the first time. That usually means 25mg wasn't their serving rather than that the jar is inert — try a second serving on another day before deciding.
It doesn't accumulate. Kanna works from a single serving, so there's no loading period and no reason to take it daily unless you want to.
It won't feel like caffeine, and at this ratio it isn't sedating.

How to take it
One serving is 25mg — roughly two to three micro-scoops. The scoop holds about 10mg, so treat it as a guide rather than a measure.
Mixes into water, coffee, juice, or anything else. Slightly bitter — most people don't mind it and some do.
Start with one serving. Most people don't need 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.

Send it back and we'll refund you in full. Return shipping is on you, but the product cost comes back regardless of how much of the jar is left.
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 kanna should I take?
One serving is 25mg. Start there. If you want more, add a second serving another day rather than doubling up the first time.
What's the difference between LIFT, BLISS and REST?
The alkaloid ratio. LIFT is 80% mesembrine and reads bright and outward. BLISS is 65% mesembrine with 20% mesembrenone, which moves the effect into the body — warm rather than outward. REST is 50% mesembrine and carries 25% Δ7-mesembrenone, the sedating alkaloid, against LIFT's 5% — that is what makes it an evening extract. All three are the same total alkaloid strength; only the character changes.
How is LIFT XR different from LIFT?
Same character, more of it. XR carries 150mg of mesembrine per gram against LIFT's 40mg. It's for people who already know how kanna affects them.
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.
Why is it so small?
Because it's an extract, not a powder you take by the spoonful. One gram is 40 servings. The jar is 5ml — smaller than you're probably picturing, and that's the point.
