SOHI

SOHI started with a question a lot of people have asked themselves: why does a good night out so often mean a rough morning after? The founders wanted a way to feel at ease in social settings (parties, dates, dinners) without leaning on alcohol. Their answer came in the form of a plant called kanna.

Kanna is a succulent from southern Africa with a long history of traditional use among Khoisan communities, who chewed it to ease tension and lift mood. SOHI builds its gummies around this plant and pairs it with nootropics, ingredients studied for their effects on focus and mental clarity. The result is a chewable, familiar format designed for social ease rather than sedation.

So what does that feel like? Many people report a gentle lift: a softer edge to social nerves, a little more presence in conversation, and none of the fog that follows a few drinks. The research on kanna is still early, so we describe it the way customers consistently do. Subtle, social, clear-headed.

We carry SOHI because their approach lines up with ours. Every ingredient in their gummies earns its spot, with no fillers and clear labeling, so you know exactly what you’re taking and why. That kind of transparency matters in a category where the science is still catching up.

One important note: kanna can interact with SSRIs and other medications that affect serotonin. If you take anything in that category, check with a healthcare professional first. And as with any new botanical, start gentle. Begin with the lowest suggested serving and pay attention to how your body responds.
