Kanna Extract Products

Yes. Kanna is a common name for Sceletium tortuosum. Product names may emphasize either the common or botanical name, but extract concentration, standardization, and added ingredients can still differ from one formula to another.

Check the extract amount per serving, whether a mesembrine percentage is declared, the full ingredient list, and available lab results. Use only as directed on the product label and do not assume two kanna products have the same concentration.

Kanna extract comes from Sceletium tortuosum, a succulent plant native to southern Africa. “Kanna” is the common name, while Sceletium tortuosum is the botanical name. Extract strength and standardization can vary, so check the product label for the exact serving and composition.

Kanna extract is a broad name for an extract of Sceletium tortuosum. A mesembrine-standardized extract lists a defined mesembrine concentration as a marker of consistency. The percentage and the milligrams per serving describe different things, so review both on the label.
