Kanna Premium Extract | 1 g
The Kanna Premium Extract is a high-purity purified extract of Sceletium tortuosum in granulated form, with no residual plant material. Along with the Krystal Ultimate, it forms the segment of the highest grade of refinement within Edabea's kanna catalog — differentiated from conventional standardized extracts by a more thorough purification process that reduces the presence of non-alkaloid compounds. It is presented in a 1 g format.
High Purity — A Distinctive Characteristic
The designation Premium refers to the degree of purification of the extract — a process that significantly removes non-alkaloid plant compounds compared to conventional standardized extracts. The result is a material with a higher proportion of alkaloids per unit weight, presented in granulated format that physically distinguishes it from the Krystal Ultimate.
No alkaloid composition specification from the supplier is available for this reference besides the declared purity and format. The specific distinction between Premium and the Krystal Ultimate is not quantified by the supplier — both references belong to the high purity segment of the catalog with different commercial designations.

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 delve deeper into its profile, you can consult our specialized article on mesembrine.
Etnobotanical Context
Sceletium tortuosum is a succulent plant native to southern Africa used for centuries by the Khoikhoi and San peoples, with documented records since the 17th century (Smith et al., 1996). For more on the historical and botanical context of the species, you can check our specialized section on kanna.
Storage
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 away from direct light.
- Avoid moisture, prolonged heat, and cross-contamination with other materials.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kanna Premium Extract
What distinguishes Premium from Krystal Ultimate?
Both are high-purity extracts without residual plant material, within the highest refined segment of the catalog. The difference between the two references is not quantified by the supplier beyond the commercial designation and physical format — Premium is presented in granulated form. For comparative collection of refined extracts, both references are of interest as distinct materials within the same degree of processing.
How does it differ from Full Spectrum?
The Full Spectrum preserves the complete alkaloid profile of the species in its naturally relative proportions — including minor compounds. Premium is a high-purity extract that prioritizes the concentration of the main alkaloids with a reduction of secondary compounds. They are conceptually distinct extraction approaches with different research interests.
What alkaloids are found in Sceletium tortuosum?
The main documented alkaloids are mesembrine, mesembrenone, mesembrenol, and tortuosamine (Gericke & Viljoen, 2008). We do not have a specification of alkaloid composition from the supplier for the Premium specifically — the phytochemical information is based on the cited bibliographic sources for the species.
What is the legal status of kanna?
The legal situation may vary depending on the jurisdiction. It is the buyer's responsibility to verify the applicable regulations in their place of residence. This product is sold exclusively as botanical collection material and for ethnobotanical research.
