Synergistic Ingredients
All things KA! are made from the highest quality organic whole plants. A potent proprietary formulation of synergistic, full-spectrum, life-giving, ingredients that come together for the first time ever after a decade of research and development.
Kanna (sceletium tortuosum)
Not to play favorites, but organic Kanna is the featured empathogen in all of our offerings. A South African succulent revered by the Khoisan peoples for thousands of years for its mile-long list of healing, calming and focusing properties. More powerful and pure than a basic extract, the patented process extracts Kanna with optimal alkaloid balance for increased bioavailability of serotonin in the brain. Source
Snow Lotus
One of the rarest flowers on earth, and the highest growing plant on the planet is wild harvested by Tibetan locals from altitudes as high as 21,000-ft. Well worth the trip for its immune-boosting, system-modulating, homeostasis- maintaining superpowers. Organic Snow Lotus enriches the blood, detoxifies and carries vital oxygenation through the brain, elevating mood, clarifying focus and encouraging a sense of inner-ease. Source
Acmella
Acmella that originates from the Amazon rainforest gives KA! its signature tongue (and spirit) tickling tingle. The more you chew, the more you can feel it working its magic—it’s known as the “toothache plant remedy” for a reason. This medicinal flower acts as an immune modulator, stimulating neural connections, salivary glands and the senses by activating ion channels in the oral cavity. Source
Lavender
Organic English Lavender sourced from New York plays the role of a flavorful antimicrobial that calms the system with its aromatherapeutic effects. The floral fragrance immediately releases serotonin in the brain just by smell alone! Clinical studies show ingesting Lavender orally has mild anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) and digestive benefits, making this bioactive neurotransmitter a staple for mental and intestinal health. Source
Mint
This well-known bad-breath banisher puts the “aaaaaaah” in “KA!” Essential oils are responsible for mint’s cooling, aromatic flavor that does so much more than meets the mouth. Even the tiniest bit of organic Mint can help stimulate neural pathways and ease the flow of digestive juices in the stomach, intestines and colon. In ancient Rome, naturalist philosopher Pliny recommended that students wear a wreath of mint around their necks as it was thought to “exhilarate their minds.” Source
Acacia Gum
Organic, fairtrade, vegan Acacia gum responsibly sourced from Senegal has a whole different energy. The Acacia is firm to the touch and dissolves in your mouth without sticking to it — distributing all of the bioactive herbs and their phytonutrients so they’re fully absorbed by your body to give you that one-of-KA! feeling. It’s 100% preservative-free and so great for your digestive system, your gut will thank you. Source

Taste is unfortunately very bad as well. I wish they lived up to my expectations
KEKA! Empathogenics2 weeks agoHi Alex, thanks for your feedback! We understand the tingle is not for everyone, however, you may be happy know that the acmella plant (the ingredient that causes the tingle) is antimicrobial and antioxidant, and is used to treat throat infections and malaria among other diseases. As your tongue tingles, it's actually stimulating your salivary glands and priming your system for absorption. Below are a few points to understand when taking KA! regarding feeling its effects:
Everyone's genetic profile and endocannabinoid system is unique. We all have different numbers of receptors, levels of cannabinoids, and enzymes that react in very specific ways according to our biology. Depending on your biochemistry, it may take 2 or 3 sessions (on different days) of ingesting KA! in order to "prime" your body's receptors to feel the full effect. That one-of-a-KA! effect is subtle, so don't expect it to come on like a drug would...stay receptive, curious, observant and see what shifts you notice in your consciousness. Try it at different times of the day and be sure to always take on an empty stomach.
If you have taken in the past or are currently taking prescription medications that contain amphetamine salts (examples include Adderall and Ritalin), you'll likely require a higher dose of kanna to feel the effect. If that is the case, try taking up to 3 Chews at a time to "prime" your system, then you can drop back down to a lower dose after a week or two.
It is also interesting to note that recent research shows one reason serontonin reuptake inhibitors such as kanna may not work for everyone is due to increased inflammation in their body. In this case, kanna acts on lowering histamine instead of lifting mood. As histamine levels decline, the effectiveness of kanna increases in helping you feel more alive, connected and better able to navigate everyday stress. Therefore, we recommend taking KA! Kanna Chews continuously as a daily supplement to feel the full and lasting effect.

- SRStephen R.Verified Buyer1 month agoRated 4 out of 5 starsSo far so good
A pleasant, mind-energizing experience
- CGCarl G.Verified Buyer1 month agoRated 3 out of 5 starsNice but pricey and over packaged
I was using the product before and during meditation and it felt like it made some difference. However, I just can't justify the cost. Also, it seems like the product is infected by the Apple package design virus where way too much attention is paid to the product packaging. It's also a bit of a hassle to get the package open but it sure is pretty. I wonder how much the packaging adds to the cost?
KEKA! Empathogenics4 weeks agoHi Carl, Thanks for your feedback. That's great you're taking the KA! Chews before meditation. As with most herbs and plant medicines, the more you take it consistently the more you will feel the benefits as your body is primed for absorption of the particular phytochemicals in KA! You will be happy to know that we have taken into account feedback like yours to make the the child-proofed box easier to open in the next iteration of our packaging which will be available soon. We definitely encourage recycling the box for other uses :) Besides the new packaging we will also be making some other exciting announcements soon to share more value and benefits with our customers. Stay tuned!
