About kanna

Kanna is the common name for Sceletium tortuosum, a low-growing succulent native to South Africa. This blog covers the plant's background, where it grows and how kanna extracts are described and labeled. New to the plant? Begin with What Is Kanna?, then read Kanna and the Succulent Karoo for the story of the dry region the plant calls home.

We carry kanna as capsules made with refined, standardized Sceletium tortuosum powder extract. Kanna Extract MZ0 Capsules use the MZ0® extract, with the alkaloid profile and lab report listed on the product page, and come in counts of 3, 10, 20 or 100. You can compare both kanna products side by side in our Kanna collection, along with current sizes and availability.
