Kanna Extract Co. Kanna Extract – Lift
Contains 1 gram of kanna extract
Description:
Kanna Extract Co. Kanna Extract – Lift is a pure Sceletium tortuosum extract powder for adults who want a measured, repeatable way to try kanna without handling a lot of raw plant. The bag holds one gram of extract, which works out to 40 servings, and a micro scoop comes with it.
Kanna is a succulent native to South Africa. The San and Khoikhoi peoples have a long history with the plant, chewing or fermenting it for its uplifting, socially easing qualities. Lift concentrates that plant into a fine powder and prints the alkaloid content on the label.
Each 25mg serving carries about 1.25mg of total alkaloids: 1mg mesembrine, 0.19mg mesembrenone, and 0.06mg Δ7-mesembrenone. Mesembrine is the compound most people associate with kanna’s characteristic feel, and Lift leans heavily toward it. Many people report a lighter, more present headspace and a gentle sense of ease, often within a short window after taking it. How noticeable that is varies from person to person. Research on kanna is still developing, so it makes sense to start gently and see how you respond.
Because this is a concentrated extract, servings are small. That is what the scoop is for. The large end holds roughly 10mg, so a couple of scoops gets you to a 25mg serving, or you can weigh it on a scale if you want tighter control. You can take the powder on its own or stir it into a drink.
This product sits in our kanna collection alongside kava, blue lotus, and mushroom blends. The plant is ethically cultivated in South Africa, and a third-party lab report is linked below.

What is kanna?
Kanna is the common name for Sceletium tortuosum, a small succulent from the dry regions of South Africa. The San and Khoikhoi peoples have used it for centuries, usually by chewing or fermenting the plant. Today you’ll most often find it as a dried powder, a tea, or a concentrated extract like this one. Many people report a gentle lift in mood and a sense of social ease. Individual experiences vary, though, and research hasn’t yet caught up with the long history of traditional use.
What are mesembrine and the other alkaloids in kanna?
Kanna’s effects are generally attributed to a group of naturally occurring alkaloids. Mesembrine is the one most people pay attention to. Mesembrenone and Δ7-mesembrenone are related compounds that show up in smaller amounts. Different kanna products can have very different ratios of these alkaloids depending on the plant, how it was processed, and whether it was fermented. Lift is mesembrine-forward: of its 1.25mg total alkaloids per serving, 1mg is mesembrine.
How is a kanna extract different from raw kanna powder or tea?
Raw kanna powder is the dried, ground plant, and its alkaloid content tends to be lower and less predictable. An extract concentrates those alkaloids, so a much smaller amount of powder gives a comparable or stronger experience. The trade-off is that precision matters more. A 25mg serving of extract is tiny next to a teaspoon of raw plant, which is why a scoop or a scale becomes part of the routine. If you’ve only had kanna tea before, expect an extract to feel noticeably different and treat it as its own thing.
Why does ethical cultivation matter for kanna?
Wild kanna grows slowly in a limited part of South Africa, and demand has outpaced what wild populations can support. Cultivated kanna takes pressure off those wild plants and makes consistent quality easier to reach. Lift is made from Sceletium tortuosum that was ethically cultivated in South Africa rather than wild-harvested.

Suggested Use:
- Start with the serving on the label: 25mg of powder. The large end of the included micro scoop holds about 10mg, so two and a half level scoops gets you close. Use a scale if you want an exact measurement.
- Take the powder directly by mouth or stir it into a liquid like water, juice, or tea.
- If you’re new to kanna extract, consider starting below a full serving and paying attention to how you feel before taking more.
- Give it time. Many people notice the effects within a short window, and there’s no need to redose quickly.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Do not drive or operate heavy machinery after use.
- Avoid alcohol while using this product.
- If you notice tremors, nausea, or nervousness, drink plenty of water and discontinue use.
- Talk with a qualified healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking any prescription or over-the-counter medication, or managing a health condition.
- For adults 21 and over. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
- Do not use if the safety seal was damaged on arrival.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and humidity, and reseal the bag after each use.
