Ratings and comments from our customers
Kanna UB40 Extract | 1 g
The Kanna UB40 Extract is a concentrated extract of Sceletium tortuosum characterized by a dense texture with coarse granulation — physically distinct from the conventional fine powder extracts in the catalog. This morphological characteristic makes the UB40 a key differentiator among the Kanna references available at Edabea. It is presented in a 1 g format, without any residual plant material.
Physical Characteristics — What Sets UB40 Apart from Other Extracts
The coarse granulation of UB40 physically distinguishes it from fine powder extracts like ET2 or the 10X extract. This textural difference determines its behavior as a research material and its handling in various phytochemical study contexts.
| Characteristic | UB40 | Powder Extract | Traditional Powder |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texture | Dense / coarse granulation | Fine powder | Plant powder |
| Residual Plant Material | No | No | Yes |
| Concentration Level | High | Variable depending on extract | Base (not concentrated) |
No alkaloid composition specification from the supplier for this reference beyond the declared format and concentration. The 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). For more in-depth information, you can check 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 dating back to the 17th century (Smith et al., 1996). To expand on the historical and botanical context, you can consult our specialized section on Kanna.
Conservation
The extract is sensitive to moisture and direct light. To maintain its stability and physical characteristics:
- 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 UB40 Extract
What differentiates UB40 from Smokanna?
Both are dense extracts with no residual plant material, but UB40 has a coarser granulation than Smokanna. This physical difference determines its distinct behavior as study material or comparative collection among extract formats in the catalog.
What is the difference between UB40 and the fine powder extracts in the catalog?
The difference is physically observable: UB40 has a dense texture with coarse granulation, while the fine powder extracts — ET2, 10X extract — present a fine and powdery texture. This morphological difference determines their behavior in various media and their specific interest for comparative phytochemical research between formats.
What alkaloids does Sceletium tortuosum contain?
The main documented alkaloids in Sceletium tortuosum are mesembrine, mesembrenone, mesembrenol, and tortuosamine (Gericke & Viljoen, 2008). We do not have a specific alkaloid composition specification from the supplier for UB40 — the phytochemical information is based on the bibliographic sources cited for the species.
What is the legal situation of Kanna?
The legal situation can vary by 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 ethnobotanical research.
