The Power of Kanna Alkaloids & Why it is our Hero
What Are Kanna Alkaloids
Kanna naturally contains compounds known as alkaloids. These are the plant’s active components and are largely responsible for how kanna feels when used intentionally. While kanna contains several alkaloids, the most commonly referenced are mesembrine, mesembrenone, mesembrenol, and mesembranol, each contributing in a slightly different way to the overall experience.
Mesembrine is often associated with the more uplifting and noticeable aspects of kanna. It is commonly linked to a brighter, more open feeling that many people describe as mood forward and socially engaging.
Mesembrenone is typically connected to a calmer, more grounding quality. It is often referenced in traditional use for its smoother, steadier feel that helps balance intensity rather than amplify it.
Mesembrenol is known for contributing to clarity and emotional steadiness. It is frequently described as supporting a clear headed, even toned experience that feels present rather than stimulating.
Mesembranol is often considered a supporting alkaloid that helps round out the overall profile. It contributes to the sense of balance and cohesion between the more uplifting and more grounding elements of kanna.
Rather than isolating a single compound or relying on synthetic stimulants or artificial enhancers, Feelz works with full spectrum alkaloid profiles. This allows the experience to feel layered, balanced, and intentional. The result is a noticeable yet approachable feel that supports presence without tipping into overwhelm.
Why Alkaloid Percentage Matters
Not all kanna is the same. One of the biggest differences across products is alkaloid concentration.
Many kanna ingredients on the market are standardized at approximately 0.4 percent total alkaloids. Since the alkoids are the key contributors to the experience people are seeking maintaining higher levels improves the effects.
Feelz uses kanna standardized to 5 percent total alkaloids. This higher standard allows for more precise formulation and consistency while using smaller, more intentional amounts of plant material, with the ratio of individual alkaloids carefully balanced in each gummy to help create the intended experience.
Ethically Sourced Kanna
Kanna is native to South Africa, and increased global demand has created concerns around sustainability and responsible sourcing. We take this seriously.
Our kanna is ethically sourced, working with partners who prioritize responsible cultivation, fair labor practices, and contributing back to the communities that provide this wonderful plant. This helps protect the future of the plant while respecting the communities that have worked with it for generations.
