What is Kanna?
Kanna 10x extract is a concentrated preparation of Sceletium tortuosum, a low-growing succulent native to South Africa. Ten times the density of ordinary leaf means a much smaller amount is enough. The 1-gram pack is compact and easy to measure in milligrams. Add 200 to 300 mg to a cup of hot water and let it steep for ten minutes.
Khoekhoe and San communities used the plant for centuries. Depending on the amount, it can feel gently uplifting or more softening. This extract suits people who want a clear, precise serving rather than a larger handful of whole herb. Other strengths and whole-leaf powder are often available separately.
The product is for informed adults. Responses vary. Start at the lower end of the range, give the tea time to work, and do not combine it with medicines or other stimulants. Store the pack in a cool, dark place.
History of Kanna
Sceletium tortuosum grows in the dry regions of South Africa. For generations, Khoekhoe and San communities chewed fermented or dried material on long journeys, in gatherings, and in moments that called for ease. Dutch observers later called the chew kougoed. European accounts became more common in the nineteenth century, which is why many modern texts begin there, even though the plant’s use is far older.
It was valued for mood, thirst, and a steady sociable feeling rather than as a harsh intoxicant. Local knowledge carried the tradition long before dried herb reached contemporary shops. Some older preparations involved fermentation; today’s concentrated extract is a denser, modern form of the same species.
A 1-gram pack of Kanna 10x extract keeps that story practical and small. It is not a new invention. It is a South African succulent with a living cultural past, offered here in a precise, tea-ready concentrate for adults who will stay within the stated serving.

Ingredients of Kanna
The only ingredient is Sceletium tortuosum, the South African succulent traditionally known as kanna. The 1-gram pack contains the 10x concentrated extract and nothing else: no fillers, no flavors, and no extra plants.
The source plant is a low-growing succulent with fleshy leaves. After drying and extraction, the material becomes easy to measure in milligrams into a cup. Its character comes from the whole botanical rather than a single isolated compound. Like other herbs, aroma and strength can vary slightly from harvest to harvest, which is why a measured first cup is the wisest introduction.
The point of this format is clarity and control: one species, a 10x extract, and a serving measured in milligrams. It suits adults who want a calm, precise cup rather than a complicated blend.
Warning
Do not use together with medicines or other stimulants. Sale and use under the age of 18 are not permitted. Do not take part in traffic during use and for 16 hours afterward. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dark place. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
