Kanna (sceletium tortuosum) is a botanical supplement from South Africa-
having been used for centuries. Today, kanna is gaining widespread recognition as a natural alternative for those seeking mental clarity and emotional balance. You can commonly find Kanna in form of tincture, loose leaf tea, and powdered extracts. The Science Behind Kanna
Kanna contains a unique profile of alkaloids, primarily mesembrine, mesembrenone, and mesembrenol, which interact with the brain’s serotonin system. Unlike synthetic antidepressants, kanna provides a natural boost to serotonin levels without excessive stimulation or sedation. This makes it an appealing choice for individuals looking to elevate their mood and reduce stress without unwanted side effects.
Studies suggest that kanna may help:
Reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression
Enhance cognitive function and focus
Promote relaxation without drowsiness
Improve social ease and emotional well-being
