This kanna tincture is a liquid extract of Sceletium tortuosum, the plant sold under the name kanna. The 10 ml dropper bottle carries the name Maya, the words “Extract 2:1” and two declared ingredients: Sceletium tortuosum and alcohol 20%. Mycotrop sells it in a single size, 10 ml. In the Kanna range it sits next to a dry extract with a 50:1 ratio, Berry gummies, a finely powdered herb and a fermented paste, so you can compare the formats side by side.
Sceletium tortuosum, kanna or kougoed, is a succulent plant of southern Africa. According to a 2021 review, the San and Khoikhoi have long used it, notably in Namaqualand and the Karoo; its name means ‘something to chew’. The oldest known written record is an illustration by Simon van der Stel dated 1685.
Traditional accounts and reviews describe a lighter mood and relaxation. These descriptions rest mostly on historical testimony, animal studies and small human trials with a standardised extract.
| Known compounds | Mesembrine-type alkaloids (mesembrine, mesembrenone, mesembrenol). Mesembrine inhibits the serotonin transporter in binding assays; PDE4 inhibition has also been reported. |
|---|---|
| Reported effects | A lighter mood and relaxation, described by historical sources and reviews; they rest on testimony, animal studies and small human trials (16 volunteers in one of them). |
| Traditional use | San and Khoikhoi of southern Africa (Namaqualand, Karoo); the name kougoed means ‘something to chew’; first written record in 1685 (Manganyi et al. 2021). |
| State of research | In vitro and animal studies and a few small human trials with a standardised extract; toxicological studies are still needed. No health claim is authorised for kanna in the EU. |
Sceletium tortuosum (L.) N.E.Br. is the name printed on the label and used in the product name. The World Checklist of Vascular Plants lists it as a synonym of Mesembryanthemum tortuosum L., a species that Linnaeus described in Species Plantarum in 1753. It belongs to the Aizoaceae, and its native range is given as the Cape Provinces of South Africa. The label does not say where the plant material for this tincture was grown, so this page does not name an origin.
The product photo shows a dark glass bottle with a black dropper cap and a sand-coloured label with a leaf pattern. The label gives Maya, Kanna and Extract 2:1, then the ingredients and the volume, 10 ml. If you prefer a solid format, the dry kanna extract 50:1 is a powder sold in 2 g, 5 g or 20 g glass jars. Every kanna product in the shop is listed under Kanna.
Keep dried plants in their tightly closed pouch or in an airtight jar, away from light, moisture and heat. Powders absorb moisture easily, so close them again straight away. For extracts, tinctures and capsules, follow the instructions on the label and the printed date.
