Kanna Extract Sceletium

Kanna extract is a concentrated extract of Sceletium tortuosum, a succulent plant of the Aizoaceae family native to South Africa, where its aerial parts have a long history of traditional use. The plant contains mesembrine-type alkaloids, including mesembrine, mesembrenone and mesembrenol. Nustras supplies it as a dried extract powder, a botanical ingredient for the supplement sector.

Kanna extract is formulated into botanical supplements in capsule, tablet and powder form, into relaxation and mood-category botanical blends, into functional beverages and tea products, where permitted.

The material is a light brown to brown fine powder with a characteristic herbal odour. Extract ratio and total mesembrine-type alkaloid content are standardised to specification and determined by HPLC; botanical identity is confirmed by thin-layer chromatography against a reference, and heavy-metal, pesticide and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies kanna extract in bulk commercial quantities, in sealed packaging and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. The regulatory status of Sceletium tortuosum differs by market and it is subject to specific authorisation or notification in several jurisdictions; buyers confirm the permitted status, alkaloid level and claim for their application.
