Description:
Kanna Extract Co. Kanna Extract – Bliss is a one-gram bag of pure Sceletium tortuosum extract powder, sold for adults who want to try kanna one measured scoop at a time. Newcomers who’d rather start small will find it easy to portion out, and so will experienced explorers who want an extract with a known alkaloid profile they can weigh precisely.
Kanna is a small succulent native to the Cape regions of South Africa, where the Khoikhoi and San peoples have chewed, fermented, and brewed it for centuries. That history is a big part of why people are curious about the plant now. Its alkaloids are what most people associate with its effects. Many people report a lifted, sociable mood and a softer sense of ease. Research into kanna is still early, though, and experiences vary a good deal from person to person.
The “Bliss” in the name refers to the alkaloid balance, which leans toward mesembrine. Each 25mg serving carries 1.25mg of total alkaloids: 0.81mg mesembrine, 0.25mg mesembrenone, and 0.19mg Δ7-mesembrenone. The proportion of mesembrine to mesembrenone is what sets one kanna extract apart from another, so that ratio is worth a look when you compare products.
The format is a fine powder, ethically cultivated in South Africa, with 40 servings to the gram. A micro scoop comes in the bag. You can take the powder on its own or stir it into a drink. It sits within our kanna and botanical wellness categories.
Benefits:
Loose kanna varies from batch to batch, which makes it hard to know what you’re actually getting. A standardized extract removes much of that guesswork. This one lists its alkaloid figures per serving, so you can compare it with other extracts, start gently, and adjust with some confidence.

What is kanna?
Kanna, known botanically as Sceletium tortuosum, is a low-growing succulent from South Africa in the ice plant family. People have prepared it for a very long time, traditionally by crushing and fermenting the plant before chewing or brewing it. Today it’s sold as dried plant material, as tea, and as standardized extracts like this one. Many people describe its effects as a brighter, more social mood. The science behind those reports is still developing, and no two people seem to experience it quite the same way.
Where does kanna come from, and how has it traditionally been used?
Kanna grows in the dry regions of South Africa’s Western and Eastern Cape. The Khoikhoi and San peoples have used it for centuries, and early European records from the region describe it being chewed and traded under the name “kanna” or “channa.” That traditional preparation usually involved fermenting the fresh plant, which is thought to change its alkaloid content. Modern extracts come out of that specific place and that specific practice, even if the bag on the shelf looks very different, and that’s worth keeping in mind as you explore them.
What are mesembrine and the other kanna alkaloids?
Kanna contains a handful of related alkaloids. The four that show up most often on labels are mesembrine, mesembrenone, mesembrenol, and Δ7-mesembrenone. Mesembrine is the one most people associate with kanna’s effects, so extracts are often described by how much of it they contain relative to the others. This product leans toward mesembrine, with smaller amounts of mesembrenone and Δ7-mesembrenone. Researchers are still working out what each alkaloid contributes to the overall experience, so think of the numbers as a way to compare products rather than a promise of a particular feeling.
How does a kanna extract compare to raw kanna or kanna tea?
They can be quite different. Dried kanna leaf or tea is relatively mild, and its alkaloid content shifts from batch to batch, so it’s hard to know what a given cup holds. An extract concentrates those alkaloids into a small, measurable amount. That’s why a serving here is only 25mg and why a scoop or scale matters. It also means extracts call for more care, since a little goes a long way and it’s easier to take more than you meant to. If you’re choosing between formats, the plant material is the gentler place to start and the extract is the more precise one. Kanna is one of several botanicals we carry, so if you’d like to compare it with kava, blue lotus, or other options, you can browse the full shop.
Suggested Use:
- Use the included micro scoop to measure out a 25mg serving. The large end of the scoop holds roughly 10mg, so a small scale gives the most accurate measurement.
- Take the powder orally, or stir it into water, juice, or tea.
- Start gently with a single serving, especially if kanna is new to you, and pay attention to how you feel before considering more.
- Do not drive or operate heavy machinery after use.
- Avoid alcohol while using this product.
- If tremors, nausea, or nervousness occur, drink plenty of water and discontinue use.
- Check with a qualified healthcare professional before use if you take prescription or over-the-counter medication or are managing a health condition.
- Do not use if the safety seal was damaged on arrival.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and humidity.
