Frequently Asked Questions
What is Kanna? Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) is a succulent plant native to South Africa, traditionally used by Indigenous communities for its calming and mood-supporting properties. Today, it's gaining attention as a botanical way to support emotional balance, presence, and connection in everyday life.
How does Kanna work? Kanna contains naturally occurring compounds that interact with pathways involved in mood regulation, including serotonin signaling. Rather than numbing your experience, many people describe feeling more relaxed, present, and connected to themselves and the world around them. Everyone responds differently, and the experience can vary depending on the formulation, serving size, and individual sensitivity.
How quickly will I feel the effects? Krysalis is designed as a sublingual gel, meaning it's held under the tongue rather than immediately swallowed. This allows some of the active compounds to be absorbed through the tissues of the mouth. Some people may notice effects relatively quickly, while others experience a more gradual shift. The timing and intensity will vary from person to person.
Will Kanna make me feel high? Our Kanna elixirs are intentionally subtle. The intention behind Krysalis is to help you shift how you feel, not escape your experience. Depending on the formulation and your sensitivity, you may notice changes in mood, relaxation, alertness, or perception. Taken as intended you should be able to go about your day as planned.
What's the difference between the three Krysalis formulas? Each Krysalis blend is created with a different intention in mind. You. Are. Here. — For moments when you want to quiet the noise, find your focus, and feel more present. Just Chill'n — For moments when you want to soften the edges of stress, unwind, and settle into a calmer state. Sleep On It — For evenings when you're ready to slow down, relax, and prepare for rest.
Can I take Krysalis every day? Kanna has a long history of traditional use, but research on the long-term safety of concentrated extracts is still limited. We recommend following the serving instructions on your product and paying attention to how your body responds. More isn't necessarily better.
Can I use Krysalis with medications or other supplements? Kanna may interact with medications that affect serotonin, including SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, and certain other antidepressants. Combining them could increase the risk of serious adverse effects, including serotonin syndrome. Do not combine Krysalis with serotonergic medications unless your prescribing healthcare professional has specifically reviewed and approved the combination. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, managing a medical condition, or taking other medications, consult a qualified healthcare professional before use.
How do I use Krysalis? Krysalis comes in a convenient sublingual gel designed for intentional moments throughout your day. Follow the serving instructions on your product. Place the recommended amount under your tongue and hold it as directed before swallowing. Whether you're preparing for a busy afternoon, transitioning out of a stressful day, or winding down for the evening, we invite you to make it a small ritual: pause, breathe, and notice how you feel.
