Kanna Extract

What is Kanna Extract?

Kanna has been used for centuries in South Africa as a traditional medicinal herb by San and Khoikhoi people. The plant can be chewed, brewed into teas, or smoked. Traditionally, South African people use kanna extract to relieve anxiety or stress, quench their thirst, fight fatigue, or for healing and spiritual purposes.

European colonial farms used it as a psychotropic in tincture form (which means they soaked it in alcohol or vinegar). Until relatively recently, the plant remained largely unknown outside of South Africa. It's beginning to attract attention, though, because of the benefits it may offer (like promoting relaxation and boosting your mood).

Undersun supplies bulk kanna extract, rich in the natural alkaloid mesembrine, HPLC tested. This product is manufactured using a rigorous quality control process and has undergone testing for moisture, heavy metals, and microbial safety. COA, specification sheet, SDS, flowchart, and other relevant documents are available. Our wholesale kanna extract is suitable for various dosage forms including capsules, tablets, powders, gummies, and beverages.

Kanna Extract Benefits

1. Mood

In clinical studies, people who took Sceletium tortuosum (as Zembrin, the most common commercially available extract) reported improved sleep and reduced stress. In rats, a purified extract of Sceletium tortuosum was about half as effective as imipramine, a tricyclic drug.

A few psychiatric doctors in South Africa prescribe kanna extract to patients with depression, mild depression (dysthymia), and anxiety. These reported case studies have been successful; in some cases, patients have responded better to kanna than to conventional s like citalopram.

Note, however, that these case studies are limited and likely biased: the doctor reporting them has a long history of studying traditional African medicine, but he is also credited as the Medical and Scientific Director of the company that sells Zembrin. He has a clear financial incentive to promote the supplement.

2. Cognition

Early clinical research suggests that zembrin kanna extract may improve executive function and cognitive flexibility. In one study, people enjoyed significant increases in these two areas after supplementing with 25 mg/day of kanna for 9 weeks. Unfortunately, this study only recruited 35 healthy adults between the ages of 45 and 65; larger studies with more varied people will demonstrate whether this benefit is significant.

3. Pain

According to traditional medicine and animal studies, kanna extract is an effective natural painkiller. In a rat study, mesembrine from kanna extract was slightly less effective than the strong opioid morphine. Traditional practitioners would rub kanna on the aching legs of hunters and farmers, and pregnant women would chew it to soothe their aches and pains. They would even give drops of kanna to crying babies to help them sleep.

High doses of kanna activate opioid receptors in the brain, so this evidence of painkilling properties is not surprising. We naturally produce opioids – endorphins and enkephalins – to soothe feelings of pain and boost sensations of reward and pleasure. Other compounds that bind to opioid receptors include morphine and oxycodone; unlike these prescription painkillers, kanna does not appear to be addictive.
