How does KA! work?Updated 2 months ago

The superplants in KA! calibrate your brain, allowing it to naturally regulate neurotransmitters including serotonin uptake. KA! is a natural serotonin re-uptake inhibitor AKA it plays bio jazz with your brain to promote calm, joy, grounded energy, focus, productivity and creativity*.

The main active ingredient in KA! is kanna, which contains 35 different alkaloids with the principal two being mesembrine and mesembrenone. Mesembrine is a natural serotonin reuptake inhibitor. It is also a natural serotonin releasing agent through the activation of a protein called VMAT2 (Vesicular Monoamine Transporter 2) that transports neurotransmitters out of cells. Kanna also activates receptors for GABA, natural opioids, cholecystokinin and melatonin, thus helping to calm brain activity, lower tension, create a sense of wellbeing, reduce excessive cravings, prevent swelling in the gut and improve sleep quality. In addition, the mesembrenone in kanna boosts energy use in the body by blocking an enzyme called PDE4 (phosphodiesterase 4). This is the reason why kanna has both the effect of calming while also providing grounded energy at the same time.

The patent-pending KA! Kanna Chews combine Kanna with snow lotus, acmella, lavender, ginger and rose. These botanicals work synergistically to enhance Kanna's therapeutic benefits.

The KA! Kanna Tincture features a carefully crafted blend of Kanna along with sandalwood, acmella, milk thistle, rose, chamomile and ginger. Together, these organic ingredients form the best Kanna extract on the market.
