Kanna Extract Merry Stony 1g

Kanna Extract Merry Stony | 1 g

The Kanna Extract Merry Stony is a concentrated extract of Sceletium tortuosum in granulated form, without residual plant material. The granulated texture physically differentiates it from the fine powder extracts in the catalog — like the ET2 — and from the dense, compact extracts — Smokanna and UB40. Available in 1 g.

Physical Characteristics and Position in Catalog

The granulated form of Merry Stony presents an intermediate texture within the spectrum of kanna extracts available at Edabea — coarser than the fine powder of ET2, looser than the compact mass of Smokanna or UB40. This physical characteristic determines its behavior as a research material and its handling in various phytochemical study contexts.

No alkaloid composition specifications are available from the supplier for this reference beyond the declared format and concentration. Phytochemical information is based on the cited bibliographic sources for the species.

Documented Alkaloids in Sceletium tortuosum

The main alkaloids of Sceletium tortuosum — mesembrine, mesembrenone, mesembrenol, and tortuosamine — are well characterized in the phytochemical literature (Gericke & Viljoen, 2008; Harvey et al., 2011). Mesembrine is the most studied alkaloid of the species due to its documented interaction with serotonin transporters (Harvey et al., 2011). To deepen your understanding of its profile, you can consult our specialized article on mesembrine.

Ethnobotanical Context

Sceletium tortuosum is a succulent plant native to southern Africa, used for centuries by the Khoikhoi and San peoples, with documented records dating back to the 17th century (Smith et al., 1996). For broader historical and botanical context about the species, you may consult our specialized kanna section.

Conservation

The granulated extract is sensitive to moisture and direct light. To maintain its stability over time:

• Store in a well-sealed container, preferably airtight.
• Keep in a cool, dry place protected from direct light.
• Avoid moisture, prolonged heat, and cross-contamination with other materials.

Frequently Asked Questions about Kanna Extract Merry Stony

What differentiates Merry Stony from ET2 extract?

Both are concentrated extracts without residual plant material, but with different physical textures. ET2 is a fine powder extract; Merry Stony has a granulated texture — coarser than the fine powder but looser than dense extracts like Smokanna or UB40. This physical difference determines its behavior in different media and its interest for comparative collection of extract formats.

How does it differ from the 10X extract?

Both have a granulated texture, but the 10X is referred to by its concentration factor — ten times relative to the base plant material — while Merry Stony is a concentrated extract with its own commercial designation. No comparable concentration specifications are available between the two beyond the formats declared by each supplier.

What alkaloids does Sceletium tortuosum contain?

The main documented alkaloids are mesembrine, mesembrenone, mesembrenol, and tortuosamine (Gericke & Viljoen, 2008). No alkaloid composition specifications are available from the supplier for Merry Stony specifically — the phytochemical information is based on the cited bibliographic sources for the species.

What is the legal status of kanna?

The legal status may vary depending on the jurisdiction. It is the buyer's responsibility to verify applicable regulations in their place of residence. This product is sold exclusively as botanical collection material and for ethnobotanical research.
