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 |
Kanna is not one thing. The plant carries three alkaloids that pull in different directions, and the ratio between them is what you actually feel.
REST is the calm end of that range: 50% mesembrine, 25% mesembrenone, 25% Δ7-mesembrenone. Δ7 is the sedating one, and at a quarter of the alkaloid content it is what turns kanna from a daytime thing into an evening one.
LIFT runs 80% mesembrine against 5% Δ7 and reads bright and outward. BLISS sits between the two at 65/20/15 — warm in the body, still social. REST keeps going in the same direction, for winding down at the end of a day. All three are 5% total alkaloids, so the strength does not change, only the character.
Most kanna on the shelf never publishes a ratio, or even a total alkaloid figure. That is why two products at the same price can feel completely different, or like nothing at all. We print ours and guarantee a minimum of 5% in every batch.
What to expect
REST is not a knockout and it is not a sleep aid. What most people describe is that the day stops running in the background — the body relaxes first, and the thinking follows.
Onset is usually around 30 minutes — sooner on an empty stomach, longer with food. Effects last two to three hours.
It will not put you under, and it will not stop you doing anything you had planned for the evening. It makes stopping easier rather than making it happen.
One serving does its work that evening. Kanna does not build up over time, so taking REST nightly is a choice rather than a requirement.
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.
Start with one serving. Most people don't need more.
Take it in the evening, an hour or two before you want to be winding down rather than at bedtime itself. Onset is around 30 minutes and it runs two to three hours from there.
Mixes into tea, water, or anything else. Slightly bitter — most people don't mind it and some do.
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 much REST should I take?
A serving is 25mg, roughly two to three micro-scoops. Start with one serving — most people don't need more. If you want to go higher, do it on a separate day rather than adding to the same evening.
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.
Will REST make me sleepy?
It reads as calm rather than sedating. REST carries the highest Δ7-mesembrenone share of our extracts at 25%, which is what pulls it toward the evening, but it is not a sleep product and most people stay perfectly functional on it.
How is REST different from BLISS?
BLISS is 65% mesembrine with 15% Δ7 — warm in the body but still outward enough for company. REST is 50% mesembrine with 25% Δ7, so it is calmer and sits better at the end of the day than the middle of it.
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 with 25% Δ7-mesembrenone, the sedating alkaloid, against LIFT's 5%. All three are 5% total alkaloids, so only the character changes.
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 evenings 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 the jar so small?
Because it's an extract, not a powder you take by the spoonful. One gram is 40 servings at 25mg. The jar is 5ml.
