Kanna Extract capsules are a powerful mood-support supplement derived from the African succulent, Sceletium tortusum. It grows naturally in the Namaqualand region of South Africa and has been used for millennia by the Khoisan bushmen. Our extract contains very high concentrations of the alkaloids Mesembrine and Mesembrenone.
