  • Sharing my experience after going through 3 boxes of Ka! and 1 tincture bottle. I’m always on a hunt for a non pharmaceuticals that help with mood, clarity and gut issues. This one seems to help with all three, especially after a few days of taking it. The best I can describe the feeling, it’s like a buzz of excitement mixed with being calm and grounded. My gut feels amazing too. It now fully replaced my ADHD prescription as it makes me feel so much better without the side effects that medication has. I must admit that the taste was off-putting at first, but now I’m used to it and it no longer bothers me. The box is visually stunning but hard to open. Overall, I love this product and I hope the company considers making it in larger batches.

  • Oh my god. It is seriously the worst thing I've ever put in my mouth. I can't wrap my head around why it's so bad (gritty, nauseating), and I'm not eating another one just for the review. I immediately had to eat something to combat the bad taste. As for energizing, I can't say the effect is any different than a small cup of coffee but honestly, I was so focused on the bad taste, that "how it made me feel" was the very last thing I was monitoring. The only thing good I can say is that the box is really pretty (albeit a little difficult to pull open).

    The taste overall is off-putting, as is the color. Shipping in the summer, caused several to be melted and fused together. Maybe wrap individually?

  • I am a somatic psychology practitioner and a certified psychedelic assisted practitioner. I have experience with plants that alter consciousness, support and assist in our wellbeing. My first experience taking KA! was using the tincture drops and was similar to a micro-dose of MDMA. I felt an elevation of mood, more grounded and sense of my body and an opening in my heart feeling more connected to people around me. What surprised me the most was how I felt the following day. Unlike MDMA, which is very taxing on the body, I felt well rested and in good spirits. I did not feel a "come down" or any negative effects. My next experience was with the KA! chews. I felt the expected tingling and numbness in the mouth that felt quite pleasant. The taste wasn't bad. I did not feel the intensity of my first experience but I felt sense of calm throughout the day. I am experimenting with dosage, effects and times to apply. For now I feel confident that this products is great for several purposes. I can see the benefit for those who need some support with anxiety, depression but don't want the side effects of chemical interventions. I also see this as a daily practice as a supplement that supports the nervous system. I also much prefer to take a natural supplement that support social engagements rather than alcohol. I see a great potential for KA! and grateful I have discovered it and for the people who stand behind this product.

  • KA! You truly blew my mind 🤯 from the beautiful packaging, to that light and subtle tingly feeling and to making my days that much brighter! I am hooked, to say the least. Thank you KA! for helping me focus and lightening up my days 🌈

    Nothing as of yet! To me it works with wonders

  • It’s the most innovative health supplement I’ve ever had. So deeply connecting you to the earth and yourself.

    More in a pack :)

  • To start, the packaging is gorgeous. It's so vibrant and modern. It brings a welcome splash of color to my shelf :) Now onto the chews: I was expecting something more gummy in texture, these are slightly thicker and denser than a regular gummy - that's probably because there's so much plant goodness inside instead of cheap filler. I love the flavor, and find it very robust. It's a complex flavor profile, reminds me of Kin Euphorics drinks but without the bitterness. It's sweet at the beginning, and I LOVE that I can taste the herbs with all their plant magic; most other supplement chews are full of artificial and synthetic flavoring. This is not that, when I chew these I feel like I am making out with mother nature (in the best way). Floral and earthy with notes of mountain air and fields of wild grass. I wish it were a drink! There's a tingle that comes at the end that was a slight surprise, and while I enjoyed the fizzy feeling it only lasted for about 2 minutes before it mellowed out. I think it's important that we chew and taste the supplements we use every day, digestion starts with the mouth. When we bypass chewing our bodies miss out on an important step in the nourishment process. I'm so glad this company decided to make a good-for-you treat with some really potent herbs, without any BS, that actually tastes good. Thank you! <3 <3 <3

  • Wow. KA! really is my favorite way to wake up and start the day. I love the tingly onset not just for the activating flavor but because I know what comes to follow is a sense of feel-good calm and enlivened energy with a slight euphoric twist. I take it to align my focus and calm my nerves before a big presentation, before I start brainstorming to inspire creative thinking, or while hanging with friends for a more connective time together. I am psyched to have found a Kanna brand I can trust and want everyone to know about it! Please note my company did the branding for this product, but have nothing to do with the product itself. The product actually really helped ignite and power our creative process in the creation of the brand 🌈

  • kA has been a real discovery for me and has become an ally in several areas of my life. Not only does it help me connect with myself and others, and consequently to enjoy every moment being present, but KA helps me to concentrated and stay focused on my work while been relaxed and calm, without stress. It also helps me a lot to reduce the tension and pain in my body on my period days. Thank You KA for improving our life quality!!

  • Writing this on behalf of my husband because I had no idea that as a person on an SSRI that I actually couldn't take this: the packaging is great, taste is tolerable , but my husband did not feel a difference after popping multiple at once.

  • Super cool packaging, arrived quickly, great infographs and all natural ingredients but.... we felt nothing. A mouth tingle at the beginning that didn't really go anywhere ... then nothing. Shared with some friends the second time around, and of the 4 of us, no one felt anything. Cool idea. perhaps we needed a higher dose.

    Expensive.

  • The tingly mouth experience is a little jolting at first but the grounded feeling it provides me makes it totally worth it. Definitely helps with my productivity and focus. Love Ka!

  • A unique sensation for your mouth. Tasty and authentic. Great introduction to Kanna which has subtle effects – so don't expect an immediate and obvious solution to all life's woes! Personally not super endeared by the packaging and brand identity, but perhaps others will love it. I'd like to take this for a longer period of time, but it is pricey. Fingers crossed that they might be able to lower pricing over time as they ramp up the volume. Disclosure: I was fortunate to win a free pack in a social media giveaway. Kudos to the KA team for honouring that, despite not living in the US.

  • Ka is a whole mouth experience! It's super tingly and fun to chew if you do the chews. The benefits are awesome. I love Ka and would highly recommend you make it part of your daily routine.

    Friends with KA!
  • Made my eyes purge gook for hours!!!!! Its was disgusting and painful. I couldnt see and my eyes were red and swollen. I couldn't tell if there were any positive effects because i couldnt focus on anything else besides picking globs and strings of gook out of my eyes for hours and trying to breathe through it. It was horrible. My eyes were still swollen the next day. My boyfriend took one as well and although his experience wasnt as bad, the same thing happened to him! I dont know how anyone would willingly take this stuff after that experience. Are these reviews fake? Maybe it was a bad reaction, and maybe this stuff helps some people, but its not worth it for me and i think the box needs to come with a warning label!

  • KA! is incredible! This team is on a mission to share the healing properties of the Kanna plant in a sustainable, intentional way. I have had amazing experiences with their products and also with the KA! team, especially Irina. I can't suggest their supplements enough and support their offerings. Thank you KA!

  • I love the feeling of Kanna but the most important thing with any plant medicine is to trust the source - that it's pure and ethical. KA is just that!

    No
  • I've had a fantastic experience with Ka. I've used both the chews and tincture and each delivered a pleasant and enduring experience of increased energy and awareness. Very happy to have had this medicine introduced into my life

  • Kanna is the real deal. I was walking to dinner one night when I spontaneously encountered an old friend. She told me about KA and gifted me one of her chews. It resulted in one of the best dinners I've had in a long time. The conversation was so uplifting and heart-centered. I was just so happy the whole. And it felt like real, deep happiness. I could tell it wasn't originating from the Kanna, but rather the plant was amplifying the joy and openness already inherent within me.

  • This stuff is magic. I can take a half of a chew and the stress and anxiety and tension melts away. The mouth tingle is actually kind of fun.

  • i started taking a double dose (60mg) of the KA tincture daily about a month ago, and it's been certifiably life changing for me. i'm an extremely dopaminergic person (always oriented towards goal achievement, progress, doing), which can be challenging at times as I struggle to be present and actually experience and enjoy my days. i've been finding KA to help me drop back into being - into a balanced state of focused awareness. been combining KA with an energizing drink (matcha or cacao) - gets me into a balanced, open-hearted state for my creative practice or business. i appreciate the integrity of the company's sourcing and formulation - Kanna feels like the wild west still, and KA appears to be a rare trustworthy kanna brand from my research and digging. it's become an integral supplement for me for mental health & creativity. i prefer the tincture to the chews. use cases: morning creative practice, nature walks, socializing. if the regular dose (30mg) doesn't do much for you (it didn't for me at first), try upping to 45mg or 60mg!
