Functions
Each of these compounds serves specific functions that can contribute to an improved sense of well-being and emotional balance, making them valuable components of products designed to enhance mood and overall health.
Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum):
- Mood Enhancement: Kanna is traditionally used as a natural mood enhancer. It acts as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor, increasing serotonin levels in the brain, which can help reduce stress and promote feelings of joy and relaxation.
- Stress Reduction: Kanna has been reported to have stress-reducing properties, helping individuals cope with stress and improve overall emotional well-being.
- Appetite Suppression: Some studies suggest that kanna may have appetite-suppressing effects, which can be beneficial for weight management.
Theanine:
- Relaxation and Stress Reduction: Theanine is an amino acid found in tea leaves, particularly in green tea. It promotes relaxation without causing drowsiness. It does this by increasing the production of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a neurotransmitter that helps reduce stress.
- Improved Focus: Theanine can also enhance cognitive function by increasing alpha brain wave activity, which is associated with improved attention and concentration.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine):
- Neurotransmitter Production: Vitamin B6 is essential for the synthesis of several neurotransmitters, including serotonin, dopamine, and GABA. This makes it crucial for maintaining a balanced mood and emotional well-being.
How To Use
To use our Kanna Nasal Spray, dispense two sprays intranasally. You will want to breathe in gently while you are dispensing the sprays. If the spray goes into the back of your throat, you inhaled too deeply or quickly. If this happens, try to be a bit more gentle with the inhale next time. After dispensing the nasal spray, tilt your head back slightly, and leave the Kanna Nasal Spray for at least 60 seconds before blowing your nose. Leaving the Kanna Nasal Spray in your nose for 60 seconds with ensure the best absorption. It is okay to take the Kanna Nasal Spray with or without a meal

Clinical Evidence
The effects of kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) and theanine on mood, anxiety, and stress have been the subject of research (Manganyi et al., 2021; Camfield et al., 2014; Lardner, 2013; Robinson et al., 2013; Baba et al., 2021; Evans et al., 2021). Kanna has shown potential in promoting healthy well-being and reducing stress (Manganyi et al., 2021). However, further research is needed to evaluate its bioactivities and identify the specific bioactive compounds responsible for its effects (Manganyi et al., 2021).
Theanine, an amino acid found in tea, has been investigated for its effects on mood and anxiety. A systematic review and meta-analysis found that theanine may ameliorate the effects of acute stress but may not significantly reduce baseline levels of anxiety (Camfield et al., 2014). While there is still a lack of studies directly examining theanine's effects on anxiety disorders in humans, some studies have indirectly inferred its potential benefits based on changes in alpha brain waves (Lardner, 2013).
Anxiety itself can have an impact on cognition, as prolonged stress or dispositional anxiety can lead to long-term changes in cognitive function (Robinson et al., 2013). However, theanine has shown promise in improving cognitive function in middle-aged and older individuals, particularly when combined with caffeine (Baba et al., 2021). Additionally, supplementation with theanine has been found to improve trait anxiety scores, suggesting its potential for longer-term stress management (Evans et al., 2021).
In summary, kanna and theanine have both been studied for their effects on mood, anxiety, and stress. Kanna shows potential in promoting well-being and reducing stress, although further research is needed to understand its mechanisms of action. Theanine may have acute stress-reducing effects and potential benefits for cognitive function and longer-term stress management. However, more research is needed to fully understand the effects of theanine on anxiety disorders. Overall, these findings highlight the potential of natural compounds like kanna and theanine in supporting mental well-being and managing stress.

Kanna Nasal Spray FAQ
Below are our most frequently asked questions about our Kanna Nasal Spray.
What is kanna?
Kanna, also known as Sceletium tortuosum, is a succulent plant native to South Africa. It has a long history of traditional use for its mood-enhancing and stress-relieving properties.
What are the key benefits of using a kanna nasal spray?
Kanna nasal spray may offer several potential benefits, including mood enhancement, stress relief, relaxation, and support for mental well-being.
How does kanna nasal spray work?
Kanna contains alkaloids such as mesembrine, which act on the brain's serotonin receptors, helping to regulate mood and reduce stress and anxiety. When used as a nasal spray, kanna is absorbed directly through the nasal mucosa, allowing for rapid onset of effects.
Who can benefit from using kanna nasal spray?
Kanna nasal spray may be beneficial for individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, low mood, or mood fluctuations. It may also be suitable for those seeking a natural alternative to traditional mood-supporting supplements or medications.
Can kanna nasal spray interact with medications or other supplements?
Kanna nasal spray is generally well-tolerated, but it may interact with certain medications or other supplements, particularly those that affect serotonin levels. If you're taking any medications or have any underlying health conditions, it's important to discuss the use of kanna nasal spray with your healthcare provider to avoid potential interactions.
