Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) is known to elevate mood, decrease anxiety, stress and tension, and suppress the appetite. In moderate doses, it induces euphoria and acts as a powerful stimulant, but can actually have a sedative effect in larger doses. "Kanna and CBD synergistically enhance one another, providing optimal relaxation, an uplifting sensation, enhanced focus, and help with nicotine addiction based on their properties," stated Dr. Michel Aube, ETST's CEO & CSO. Dr. Aube elaborates with, "CBD is a strong antioxidant that enhances well-being, among other properties, by reducing the oxidative stress produced by the human brain through its elevated metabolic activity. While Kanna might also have anxiolytic potential, as it modulates the biological activity of serotonin, the two together will significantly reduce anxiety as the Hemp Oil will create better physiological conditions for the biological activity of the Kanna extract. All together, the full spectrum of the Hemp Oil and full spectrum of the Kanna plant have the potential to better regulate the activity of serotonin, giving a more powerful sensation of satisfaction than any other plant extract used alone.
