Kanna Serene (0.4%)

What is Kanna Serene (0.4%) (Sceletium tortuosum)?

Kanna Serene is a standardized extract produced by spray-drying the aerial parts of the plant. The extract is developed to maintain a stable and defined alkaloid level of at least 0.4% total alkaloids, which is ensured through modern extraction and analytical methodology. The primary alkaloid is Mesembrine, which constitutes approximately 88% of the total alkaloid profile, followed by Mesembrenone.
