Healing Herbals – Kanna Vegan Capsules (Day & Night Blends)

These vegan kanna capsules pair concentrated kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) extract with a second traditional botanical, one blend for the day and one for the night. Both come in vegetable cellulose capsules with sizes running from a 2 count trial pack up to a 30 count bottle.

Kanna is a flowering succulent from South Africa’s Cape provinces, harvested and fermented there for centuries by the San and Khoikhoi peoples. The extracts in these capsules are standardized to a 5% total alkaloid content, so every capsule carries a consistent amount of the plant’s signature compounds.

Day Blend vs Night Blend Kanna Capsules

Day Blend combines 25mg of MT-55 kanna extract with 600mg of maca root powder. Maca is a root vegetable from the high Andes, grown and eaten there for centuries, and it gives the day formula its second ingredient.

Night Blend combines 50mg of VU3 kanna extract with 800mg of ashwagandha root powder. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a shrub whose root has a long history in traditional Indian herbal practice, and it anchors the evening formula.

The two blends share the same capsule shell and the same standardized kanna extract approach. The difference is the partner botanical and the extract profile, which is why regulars often keep both on hand and split them by time of day.

How to Use Kanna Capsules

The serving size is one capsule, taken with water. Start there and give it time before considering a second; everyone is different. The 2 count pack exists exactly for this: it is a two-serving trial before you commit to a 15 or 30 count bottle.

Store the capsules in a cool, dry place with the lid closed. No refrigeration needed.

Ingredients

Day Blend: kanna extract (MT-55), maca root powder, vegetable cellulose capsule.
Night Blend: kanna extract (VU3), ashwagandha root powder, vegetable cellulose capsule.

Kanna Capsules FAQ

Are these capsules vegan?
Yes. The shells are vegetable cellulose, not gelatin, and both blends are plant ingredients only.

What do MT-55 and VU3 mean?
They are Healing Herbals’ extract designations. Both are kanna extracts standardized to 5% total alkaloids; MT-55 runs high in mesembrine and VU3 runs high in mesembrenone, the two most studied alkaloids in the plant.

Which size should I start with?
The 2 count. It costs less than lunch and tells you how kanna capsules sit with you before you buy a bottle. From there the 15 and 30 counts bring the per-capsule price down.

The Partner Botanicals

The second ingredient in each blend is a botanical with its own long record. Maca has been cultivated in the Peruvian Andes for around two thousand years, where the root is roasted, boiled, and ground into flour as an everyday food. Ashwagandha root has been part of Ayurveda, India’s traditional herbal system, for at least as long. Pairing kanna capsules with one or the other is a way of putting two old plants in one modern format.

Neither partner botanical is filler by weight: 600mg of maca or 800mg of ashwagandha is a meaningful amount of root powder next to the concentrated kanna extract.

Do I take the Day and Night blends together?
They are built as separate formulas for separate ends of the day, and one capsule of either is a serving. If you keep both, split them by time of day rather than stacking them.
