Mama Kanna - Kanna Honey Tincture

This is another really fun one. 

This kanna tincture comes from my friend Alex, who is the one who supplies all the raw unfermented kanna and Leafolo blends offered by MN Nice Ethnobotanicals.

Alex is one of the best humans I know and is doing amazing things here. As with all the material we source from him, 11% of the proceeds go towards supporting indigenous tribes in Africa.

While it’s a little more expensive per serving than our other ethnobotanicals for sale, this is hands down the highest quality kanna on the market. I'm really excited to be able to offer it!

Here’s what Alex has to say about his kanna elixir.

 Discover the Magic of Kanna

Kanna, scientifically known as Sceletium tortuosum, is renowned for its mood-enhancing and stress-relieving properties. With centuries of historical use behind it, kanna has captivated users with its ability to promote a sense of well-being and emotional balance.

 Elevated by Nature

At the heart of our Kanna Extract Honey Elixir lies a pure and potent kanna extract sourced from the finest sustainably grown Sceletium tortuosum. 

This premium extract is thoughtfully dissolved in vegetable glycerine, a natural solvent that helps preserve the active components and ensure optimal bioavailability. The glycerine base also lends a mild sweetness to the kanna tincture, making it a delight for your taste buds.

 A Symphony of Flavor

To enhance the taste, aroma, and viscosity, we've added a touch of vanilla extract, renowned for its rich, soothing essence. The gentle vanilla notes complement the earthy undertones of kanna, creating a perfectly balanced kanna elixir that satisfies both the palate and the senses and decants smoothly from the bottle.

 Nature's Sweet Nectar

To round off this exquisite concoction, we've infused a touch of honey⏤nature's golden elixir. Honey not only enhances the flavor profile but also contributes its own array of health benefits. With its natural sweetness and shelf stability, this honey-infused kanna tincture becomes a pleasure to consume, encouraging you to unwind and savor each moment.

While the exact length of time is unknown, kanna has been a part of indigenous African traditional medicine for centuries. Using kanna was already a well-established practice by the time the earliest record of its usage was made by Dutch navigator Jan van Riebeeck in 1662.

Its name is a Khoekhoe word that roughly translates to “something to chew.” Considering it was chewed by hunter-gatherers and pastoralists to relieve toothaches and body pain, this was the perfect name for it. 

By chewing the plant, users would release the juices that contain all of kanna’s powerful compounds. This would coat the inside of a user’s mouth to provide oral pain relief, and any kanna that was swallowed would result in the mood-boosting, muscle-relaxing, and indigestion-relieving properties it’s also known for.

This kanna tincture takes all that makes kanna so amazing and puts it in a delicious, easy-to-dose package. Plus, with Mama Kanna’s elixir, 11% of your purchase goes to the same tribes that first used this incredible botanical. Celebrate kanna’s history and honor the people who discovered it while you enjoy its incredible benefits!

Serving Size: Each kanna tincture contains 25mg of kanna extract. We recommend 1-2ml for a wonderfully uplifting experience.

Instructions: Shake well before use. Place a few drops to half a dropper of kanna tincture under your tongue and hold for 30–60 seconds before swallowing. Alternatively, mix it with water, tea, or juice. Wait 30–60 minutes to monitor effects, then adjust the dosage as needed. Start with a low dose and increase gradually to find your optimal amount.

Warning: We sell this kanna elixir for spiritual, educational, and historical research purposes only. MN Nice Ethnobotanicals is not liable for misuse of this product. Always do your own research and consult your doctor before using any botanical supplement. DO NOT use in conjunction with serotonin reuptake inhibitors (most antidepressants except for bupropion), MAOIs, and serotonin releasers. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Does kanna produce psychoactive effects?

Kanna is not highly psychoactive, but it does affect mood and perception. Some users experience a mild euphoric state, increased sociability, or enhanced sensory awareness, although the effects are mild and vary with dosage.

How long does it take to feel the effects of this kanna tincture?

The effects of this kanna elixir kick in within 15–45 minutes when taken sublingually and may last 4–6 hours, depending on the dosage and individual sensitivity. When mixed into a beverage, it may take slightly longer to take effect.

Can this kanna tincture be combined with other herbs or supplements?

Absolutely, kanna tinctures complement adaptogens such as ashwagandha, soothing herbs like chamomile or blue lotus, and cognitive boosters like lion’s mane. Nonetheless, exercise caution when combining kanna with other substances that affect serotonin to prevent overstimulation.

Does kanna make you sleepy?

Kanna usually doesn't cause sleepiness. However, larger doses may lead to deep relaxation. When taken in moderate amounts, kanna keeps you calm but alert, so you can use it both during the day and at night.

Do kanna tinctures have any side effects?

This kanna elixir is generally well-tolerated, but high doses may cause mild nausea, dry mouth, or lightheadedness. Taking kanna tinctures on an empty stomach may increase sensitivity, so we recommend you start with a low dose and adjust as needed.
