QBI supplies standardized mesembrine-focused kanna materials for qualified formulators, manufacturers, and R&D teams evaluating specialty botanical ingredients. Kanna materials can vary significantly by plant source, alkaloid profile, extraction method, and supplier documentation, so QBI prioritizes identity, potency, and batch-specific review before materials are positioned for commercial use.
Our kanna ingredients are intended for commercial formulation work in functional relaxation, mood support, wellness, and prototype development applications. Availability, specification, and testing status may vary by lot.
Available Standardizations
5% Mesembrine Extract
A mesembrine-focused kanna extract option for formulation screening, prototype development, and applications where an extract-based ingredient format is preferred. Final suitability depends on alkaloid profile, solubility, carrier system, and finished-product requirements.
Primary marker compound:
Mesembrine-type alkaloids
CAS # 24880-43-1 for mesembrine
12% Mesembrine Extract
A higher-potency kanna extract option for formulators seeking increased mesembrine content while retaining an extract-based ingredient format. This specification may help reduce raw material inclusion levels compared with lower-potency extract options.
Primary marker compound:
Mesembrine-type alkaloids
CAS # 24880-43-1 for mesembrine
98% Mesembrine Isolate - Sold Out
A high-purity mesembrine option for R&D teams and manufacturers requiring tighter potency control and a more defined constituent profile. Current availability is limited; QBI can discuss qualification status, sourcing timelines, and alternative kanna specifications with qualified buyers.
Active constituent:
Mesembrine
CAS # 24880-43-1
USA-Based Analytical Verification
Identity & Potency Validation
QBI works with qualified analytical partners to evaluate botanical identity and mesembrine-type alkaloid content using fit-for-purpose methods such as HPTLC, HPLC, microscopy, or other applicable analytical approaches. Learn how to verify standardized botanical extracts.
Contaminant & Quality Screening
Potency is only one part of ingredient qualification. QBI works with qualified U.S.-based laboratories to evaluate contaminant profiles such as heavy metals, pesticides, residual solvents, and microbial content. Testing panels are selected based on the ingredient, specification, and intended commercial use.
