Kanna Supplement Review: Sceletium Tortuosum’s Effect on Cognition and Mood

Good video. Never heard of this supplement. Subbed

Can this show up on drugtest? Heard about false positives

I have some kanna gummies and there very strong. When I take half of one witch is roughly 32 mgs I get extremely stoned

Personally I will say it absolutely will do all those things mentioned at the start for some... in 2- 5 hour bursts depending on consumption method dossage etc. I feel better if I take a multi-vitamin daily. for instance... Kanna feels more like a reset of brain chemistry or something... It's no miracle, but noticeable, and positive ( at least in the short term, will have to see). I think of it as ashwaganda x 1000.

I definitely have not noticed an increase in cognitive abilities. I’m a full time college student so it would be relatively easy for me to have noticed such benefits. However, I first tried it in the exact pre workout you show in your thumbnail. A classmate of mine who I go to the gym with let me try it and it had a similar yfeeling to if you workout stoned: feeling very connected to your body. Like I was able to focus on every little movement of my muscles and how they connect to a muscle group without the lazy feeling that comes from getting high. But what REALLY got me interested in it was how negative self talk washed away, I was socializing with everyone in the gym and connecting with people without any doubts in my head. I have social anxiety and even though I don’t think I’m a depressed sad sack, I have to fight very hard to keep negative thoughts out my mind and be happy. With Kanna, it was like I didn’t have to push thoughts to the back of my mind and force myself to be happy and interact and risk take, it was a natural normal thing.

Just need to point out Traditional knowledge is not anecdotal evidence. It's observational evidence over thousands of years, not "my bro took it once and it worked"

iv been using raw skeletium straight from the bush. my mood has been super charged. l live a normal happy life. no more anxiety or feelings of anxiousness. gives me clarity and no more overthinking things. lt really put my brain in order.

The thumbnail for this video is cringeworthy

Is it similar to 5HTp?

kanna absolutely has very potent effects on anxiety and depression. these studies were done with 25-50mg of zembrin which is a 2:1 extract standardized to contain a lower proportion of the most psychoactive alkaloid, mesembrine. in south africa it is used medically but in much higher doses than the 25-50mg of zembrin you see in these studies. they were done to prove the safety of zembrin and get it on the market. it would absolutely be much more obviously effective if used at higher doses. it works way better for me for both anxiety and depression than 100mg of daily sertraline (zoloft) ever did. even the raw plant when grown well and harvested properly can be more potent in terms of alkaloid percentage than zembrin. other extracts like mt55 are much more effective and given that mesembrine is the major alkaloid in the actual plant, i believe they are probably closer to the alkaloid profile of a good quality kanna plant. the khoi and san people who use it will sometimes stuff their cheeks with it, the dose involved in that would be many times higher than you get from zembrin.

Does it increase blood pressure?

I Would like to use it to play darts. Extract definitely raises my libido and mood (anecdote al) 😅
Reducing my anxiety a bit has to improve my performance...

Why is Derek in the thumbnail?

This is a solid review

Weird. I tried 2 x 30mg gummies at the same time, didn't really get anything out if it. I guess it's more subtle. But I didn't even get a mild "buzz".

It definitely works for me. Tried an extract a couple of times. It feels quite 'speedy'. Thumbs up!

Reduced fear for me

Alot the extracts out there are actually of a different plant. But kanna is wonderful drug to use in place of caffine, anti depressants or adhd med. Fuck society for brain washing everyone to think just because its a drug and you use it you are a junkie or drug addict those are brainwashed sheep. Every one forgets caffine is a drug so is nicotine and alcohol. Kanna just one the better safer less addictive more therapeutic drugs out there that have so many benfits and little side effects comparatively too caffine and perscription stimulants.

Try and look for MT-55 kanna extract there alot of bunk stiff out there using a plant that is similar and has some of the active compounds in kanna its usually weaker and less stimulating. But the are extracts the more anxiety reducing and calming due to the range of alkaloids in kanna.

So would you say that could help with anxiety and overthinking

good video. I’d love to see with research with those on the spectrum. I purchased a small amount during the adderall shortage and used i started replacing my lacroix with a caffeinated alternative (which i usually abstain from tho do consume the occasional coke) and it kept me pretty focused. i don’t know if it’s a straight up amphetamine replacement but i think for my long term health i need to look else where.

More studies are clearly required, agreed.

Dude all of science is just an anecdote why this dude so pressed about what the studies say just try it and see what it does for you 🤷🏼‍♂️ I’m tired of these people sucking at the teet of scientific studies

Kanna changed my life..with loss of a best friend and my dog in a week I was down bad and not eating. With in one hour of a 250mg dose I felt much better wanted a full meal. Day 3 now and I can’t wait to get back to work

I think the problem with the scientific research here is how it's done on healthy people.. because most people who speak of the effects being actually beneficial, are people with mental health issues 😁

The fact that it doesn't have a significant effect on cognition is actually a good thing! IF you feel good after taking it, at least you don't have to worry that it will affect you negatively, in contrast to stuff like THC.
