Our standard recommendation is 2 pumps, however every person is different. Since kanna can be subtle, some people may want to take more (3 or 4 pumps) while some people may only need 1 pump to feel the desired effect. 

We recommend to start small and increase by 1 pump after 15 minutes, if needed, (a great chance to listen to your body!).

Our formulas are fast-acting due to the sublingual delivery. Under the tongue, our elixir dissolves rapidly and enters directly into the tiny blood vessels beneath. This way, the formula can enter the bloodstream much more quickly than oral medications.

We recommend at least 30 seconds but the longer you hold it, you'll notice the effect sooner and stronger.

What exactly is an intention? It's the aim or goal you want to experience, such as, "I am a freaking wizard."

Why are we suggesting it here?  Having a mindful moment and setting an intention while taking your elixir can can increase the likelihood of achieving the desired psychological, emotional, or spiritual goals from your experience.

Having a clear intention can help you stay grounded and maintain awareness during your experience, making it more meaningful and therapeutic.

Setting an intention can alleviate anxious feelings by providing a sense of control and purpose.

Many plant medicines work in a cumulative manner, meaning their effects build up over time. When you consistently use these compounds, they can gradually exert their therapeutic effects on the body. For example, adaptogenic herbs like ginseng may take weeks or even months to optimize the body's stress response.

If you are dosing every day, you'll achieve the best results by taking a few days off every couple of weeks.

For those with sensitive stomachs, consuming kanna on an empty stomach may lead to irritation. A light snack can act as a buffer, reducing the likelihood of any discomfort.

Choose a snack that is easy on the stomach, such as a piece of fruit, a handful of nuts, or a small yogurt. Avoid consuming a large amount of food or anything too greasy or spicy.

• Personalized Dosage: While our standard recommendation is 2 pumps of kanna, it's important to remember that each individual's response to kanna can vary.
• Gradual Increase: If you find that the initial dose doesn't produce the desired effect after about 15 minutes, you can consider taking another pump. 
  
• When to lower: You'll know if you've taken too much for your body as you might experience some annoying (but harmless) side effects like needing to use the bathroom (yes, it can act as a laxative in higher doses), feeling a wee bit of nausea or even a tiny headache. Just make sure to lower your dose next time.  

• Take another pump following our regular protocol.  You can take up to 4 pumps in one sitting as a normal daily dose. 
  
• Keep taking at least 2 pumps for a week straight as it can take time for your body to acclimate.
• Hold it under your tongue longer than the standard 30-seconds.  Aim for one minute or longer. 
• Focus on your intention.  Take some deep breaths and really think on how you want to shift your moment. 
• Move to a quiet space.  These formulas are powerful.  Set and setting can have an impact. 

• Eat a light snack right away and the next time, be sure to have a light snack 15 minutes before you take the elixir.
• Try mixing it with a warm beverage (cacao/coffee/tea/matcha) instead of putting it directly under your tongue.  Be aware, it will take longer to have an effect this way. 
• Try with one pump or even a half pump next time.

• "Am I truly tired?"
• "Have I been extra stressed lately?"
• "Have I been sleeping well?"
• Tiredness is generally an indication that you've been running on cortisol and adrenaline.
• The kanna calms your nervous system, which is great, but your body may be looking for it's "fix" of cortisol for a week or so while you adjust.
