Make it stand out.

Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) is a South African botanical traditionally used for mood modulation and cognitive support. Its primary active compounds—mesembrine-type alkaloids—are known for their activity as serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRI) and PDE4 modulators.

QBI’s Kanna Alkaloid Isolate is a high-purity, mesembrine-rich fraction standardized to ≥98% total alkaloids, designed for formulators who require precision, consistency, and analytical validation.

Unlike crude extracts, this isolate enables:

  • Tight dosage control

  • Reduced batch variability

  • Compatibility with advanced formulations
