Kanna is a natural plant-based mood booster, relaxant and helps with anxiety, and depression. It has been used in traditional medicines for centuries in Southern Africa.
Chemistry and Pharmacology:
The active alka-loids of Sceletium tortuosum are: mesembrine, mesembrenone, mesembrenol and tortuosamine. Mesembrine is a major alkaloid present in Sceletium tortuosum, and has been demonstrated in unpublished laboratory studies to be a serotonin re-uptake inhibitor.
Mesembrine has a receptor-specific activity with a main focus on receptors relating to the receptor activities linked to nicotinic, do-pa-mine, and non-adrenaline. The activity in these sites backs the traditional mood-elevating uses, and suggests additional therapeutic and wellness potential.
