What is Kanna Spark 1%?
Kanna Spark is a standardised extract produced by vacuum-drying the aerial parts of the plant. The extract is developed to maintain a stable and defined alkaloid level of at least 1% total alkaloids, ensured through modern extraction and analytical methods. The primary alkaloid is mesembrine, followed by mesembrenone and Δ7-mesembrenone.
Kanna, also known as Sceletium tortuosum, is a perennial succulent in the family Aizoaceae, native to South Africa. The plant grows naturally in the western and northern parts of the Cape region, where it thrives in dry and rocky environments. Throughout history, Kanna has played a prominent role in ethnobotanical contexts and is well documented in botanical research and cultural history.
Spark is the fourth extract in the series and sits between Serene (0.4%) and Solace (3%).

Analytical method
Every batch is tested
The measured total alkaloid content of the current batch is 1.08%. The contents of the individual alkaloids will be published here once the certificate of analysis (COA) is available.
In addition to the alkaloid profile, each batch undergoes laboratory testing for purity and quality. The analysis includes microbiological testing as well as checks for heavy metals, mycotoxins and pesticide residues. The results meet international guidelines and pharmacopoeia requirements.
Other ingredients: tapioca and amorphous silica as flow aids.

Compare the standardisation levels
We offer four standardised extracts. The percentage indicates the total alkaloid content, not the mesembrine content.
Swipe the table sideways if it does not fit.
| Product | Specification | Measured total content | Mesembrine |
|---|---|---|---|
| Serene | at least 0.4% | 0.52% | 0.46% |
| Spark | at least 1% | 1.08% | COA to follow |
| Solace | at least 3% | 3.22% | 2.43% |
| Embrace | at least 5% | 5.58% | 4.23% |
A higher total content means a higher analysed concentration of the alkaloid group. On its own, however, it does not determine the identity, purity or documentation of the raw material.
