What Is Kanna? Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) is a succulent native to Southern Africa, used for thousands of years by the Khoisan people for energy, courage, and social bonding during hunting expeditions.
Pharmacology Highlights:
Kanna contains alkaloids like Mesembrine and Mesembrenone, which act as serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs) and PDE4 inhibitors, supporting mood, reducing brain inflammation, and enhancing neuroplasticity. It also has MAO-B inhibition, which may boost dopamine and synergize with cannabis.
Benefits:
Kanna offers a mood boost, reduces gut inflammation, improves digestion via the gut-brain connection, and may lower cannabis tolerance.
Effects:
Users report euphoria, relaxation, and energy, with an adaptogenic quality—energizing during the day, relaxing at night.
Safety:
Kanna is generally safe but should not be combined with SSRIs, SNRIs, MDMA, or MAOIs due to serotonin overload risks. Start with small doses and follow manufacturer guidelines.
