Description
Our highly concentrated, water-soluble Sceletium extract — the strongest form of kanna we make. A small pinch goes a long way: stir it into a smoothie or drink, take it under the tongue, or fold it into a blend.
Sceletium tortuosum (kanna, kougoed) is a succulent native to Southern Africa, used by the Khoikhoi for hundreds of years — traditionally dried and chewed, or shared in ceremony. We work with it for its calming, centring character: a botanical for slowing down and settling into the heart.
All our Sceletium is organically grown and lab-tested for consistent alkaloid content (mesembrine 75.7%). Start small — this extract is strong.
Highly concentrated water-soluble Sceletium tortuosum extract + manitol.
This is a highly concentrated extract. Start low and use with care.
Suggested use:
• Take a small pinch directly on the tongue
• Stir into water, juice, tea, or a smoothie
• Blend into a herbal smoking mix
Suggested amount:
• Start with a very small pinch
• Increase gradually only once you understand your sensitivity
• This product is strong and should be used cautiously
Effects and sensitivity may vary depending on the person, method of use, body weight, and tolerance.
Do not combine sceletium with SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, antidepressants, or other serotonin-affecting medication unless advised by a qualified healthcare professional. Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

I have been using it on and off for about 3 years now and it is excellent. I have tried capsules from pharmacies, and the quality is not the same, as this high potency extract, and in this form gives me the power to micro dose according to daily requirements.
I love this so much i just received my second order , it’s helped me have conversations with family and friends without feeling anxious I struggled with anxiety for the longest time but not anymore, I no longer feel the need to drink alcohol that was just a bonus i only wanted it for anxiety I didn’t know it was going to also help get over my wine addiction 😁🙈 am happy I love the cosmic bazaar . Everything I’ve bought from them has done exactly what it promises. Ps don’t take too much or else you will feel 🤢🥴
Sceletium is a subtle yet powerful medicine that can aid in coping with anxiety and depression. It is gentle at lower doses, creating space within which you can handle life with more grace, and at higher doses it can be heart opening and empathogenic. It has improved my life in many noticeable ways and I feel immense gratitude to it. The most common and widely available form is raw plant material (also sold here). This works well enough but can cause nausea at higher doses. This extract is far more effective as it eliminates this issue and the experience is smoother. Dosing is a challenge since it's highly concentrated and easy to take too much by accident, but start small and gradually increase the dose until you find what works for you. The elixir (also sold here) provides a similar refined experience and is easier to dose.
I only need half a pinch of sceletium powder and my anxiety is back under control. I am very happy with my first order. Great products and delivered on time. I highly recommend Cosmic Bazaar and will definitely be ordering again soon.
