Kanna Gummies – Berry

Berry flavour and South African kanna

Our kanna gummies pair a soft berry flavour with South African kanna flower extract. Each gummy contains 25 mg of kanna extract from Mesembryanthemum tortuosum, the succulent also widely known as Sceletium tortuosum.

The kanna extract in the recipe

Mesembrine is one of the kanna alkaloids investigated for its biological activity. Laboratory research found that isolated mesembrine inhibited the serotonin transporter, a protein that helps regulate serotonin signalling between nerve cells. This offers insight into kanna’s chemistry, although the findings do not establish the effects or onset of these gummies.

Storage and precautions: Keep cool, dry and away from heat. For adults aged 21 and over; not for use during pregnancy. Do not drive or operate machinery after use. Avoid combining kanna with antidepressants or other medicines that affect serotonin without medical advice. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
