What is Kanna?
Canna grows in Africa. Canna Extract is interesting to us for its alkaloids. Alkaloids contained in Canna: mesembrine, mesembrenol, tortuosamine.
Mesembrine — this alkaloid is the main one.
Mesembrine acts as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), increasing levels of this neurotransmitter in the brain, helping to improve mood. It is sometimes used to relieve emotional tension and stress, and is non-addictive and has no serious side effects in moderate doses.
Typically, about 150 milligrams of Kanna Extract is needed to achieve the effect.
What is Canna Extract used for?
Studies have shown that the alkaloid mesembrine interacts with serotonin receptors in the brain, which provides an antidepressant effect and reduces anxiety levels.
Canna Extract is commonly used to boost mood and reduce stress. For our 10% Extract, the serving size may vary depending on the form of application and the body's characteristics.
