History: Kanna [scientifically named Mesembryanthemum Tortuosum], is a succulent indigenous to South Africa. With its first known accounts in the 1600’s, Sceletium was long thought to be South Africa’s variant of China’s “Ginseng,” thus sort after by the European and Asian Shipping Trades. It has a history of traditional use by native communities for its believed properties, including alertness, mood enhancement and stress relief. It is said to have been used by South African hunter gatherers ahead of long hunting trips.
Chemical constitution: Kanna contains a psychoactive (…not psychedelic) compound called Mesembrine, which behaves as a Seratonine Re-uptake Inhibitor, hence suggested to have stress relief and mood enhancement properties.*
Other marketed products: The worlds leading researched and clinically studied extract of Kanna is known as Zembrin. Zembrin is proven to deliver mood-enhancement, anxiety-reducing and cognitive function enhancing properties. Numuti uses a different Kanna extract than that trademarked as Zembrin.
* There is no substantial evidence that Kanna is effective for treating any medical condition and it has not been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a prescription drug.
