Quality and Control

All of our kanna products undergo thorough analysis and quality control before being made available in our store. Each batch is tested to ensure that specifications are met, including checks for microbiology, heavy metals, and potential pesticide residues. Our suppliers use modern methods such as HPLC analysis to determine alkaloid profiles and ensure consistent quality. This allows you to feel confident that you are receiving a high-quality raw material with documented traceability.

What is Kanna?

Kanna, or Sceletium tortuosum, belongs to the Aizoaceae family and has historically been recognized in various cultural and ethnobotanical contexts. The plant is particularly known for containing several alkaloids, including mesembrine, mesembrenone, and Δ7-mesembrenone. Today, kanna is an interesting subject of botanical research and is available both as a raw botanical material (dried and powdered plant material) and as extracts with defined alkaloid levels.

Different Forms of Kanna

At Aromexperten, you can choose from several forms of kanna:

• Kanna Raw Material – the traditional form, available as powder or crushed plant material.
• Standardized Extracts – modern extracts with a defined total alkaloid content, such as 0.4%, 3%, and 5%. Products such as Kanna Serene, Kanna Solace, and Kanna Embrace belong to this category.
• Ratio Extracts – extracts produced using ratios such as 50:1, indicating the amount of plant material used relative to the final extract yield.

By offering multiple formats, we can accommodate a variety of requirements for botanical applications, analysis, and technical purposes.
