KA! is highly appreciated for its mood-enhancing and anxiety-reducing effects, with users reporting feelings of increased focus, energy, and gratitude. It pairs well with other substances and has even been used as a replacement for pharmaceuticals. The taste, while initially off-putting for some, becomes enjoyable over time. However, some users reported a lack of results, and the packaging was seen as difficult to open. The price point was also mentioned as a potential drawback.

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.

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!

Hi Tara, Irina from KA! here. Thank you for bringing this concerning feedback to our attention. I'm very sorry to hear about your experience - that must have been quite frightening. Our top priority is your wellbeing and I hope the symptoms have fully subsided by now. This is the first time we have heard anyone have this type of reaction and it is difficult to know for sure what might have caused it. One possibility is a sensitivity to the the acmella plant in the Chews, which is part of the daisy (Asteraceae) family. Another possibility is that there was an interaction between any supplements and medications you might be taking together with the Chews. In any case we take safety feedback seriously and will be thoroughly investigating this further. In the meantime, please email us at [email protected] with your order number so we can issue you a full refund. Thank you.

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.

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 🌈

Thank you so much Haley for your review and feedback. We so appreciate it. We're about to launch a new subscription program so you can KA! more often at great value :)

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

Thank you so much Daniel for your thoughtful and detailed review! Gummies have a lot of sugar which makes them acidic and destroys alkaloids of active ingredients. KA! Chews have a proprietary formulation and production process that makes them pH neutral just like your body. We utilize sensorial plants to prime the sublingual absorption process, tingle included! This way you get to absorb all the plant goodness through the mucosal membrane in your mouth immediately, by passing the digestive system.

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?

Hi Nia, thanks for the feedback. Wow we are sorry your KA! arrived like this, we think you're right about the extreme heat and looks like something may have malfunctioned. Our handmade Chews contain no preservatives, so they are definitely not meant to be "perfect" but we apologize as this is nowhere near how they should look upon arrival. We're a tiny plant-loving company that only fully launched about 8 weeks ago, so we appreciate your understanding and patience as we evolve and get better. Since you received your pack, we've improved our formula and would love to send you another box free of charge to make it right if you are open to it. Either way, thanks for giving us a try and we hope to better serve you in the future. PS - the tingly feeling in the beginning is the acmella working its healing magic on your mouth and gut biomes, it's not for everyone but even folks who don't love that taste learn to love the effect and the benefits that come along with it...

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! 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!

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!

I love the KA! chews. Eating them is truly a sensorial and flavor experience unlike anything else I've experienced. And the effects, even better! My friend and I both experienced elevated mood, easeful connection, and a calm mental clarity. I feel great the day after too, no sense of a neurotransmitter rebound or brain fog that I've experienced after other psychoactive plants. Definitely recommend giving them a try.

I recently tried out the KA! Kannasseur Bundle, and I must say, my experience exceeded my expectations. Upon trying the KA! tincture, I was pleasantly surprised. Within just a few minutes of using it, I could feel a noticeable boost in energy and an overall sense of well-being wash over me. What impressed me even more was how it heightened my mindfulness of emotions and increased my empathy towards others—an unexpected but welcome effect. The taste of both the tincture and chews was delightful, with the chews being particularly enjoyable, tangy, and invigorating, almost awakening the senses. The user-friendly nature of the tincture made dosing a breeze, allowing for gradual adjustments to find the perfect balance. This adaptability is crucial, especially for newcomers to Kanna, as it ensures a comfortable and personalized experience. One of the standout benefits I observed was how KA! made me more outgoing and inclined to engage in conversations—a remarkable shift for someone typically reserved like myself. The only drawback I found was the slightly higher price point, the benefits far outweigh the cost. The boost in outgoingness and the desire to engage with others were significant advantages, making the investment worthwhile. Despite the expense, I have no hesitation in repurchasing this product and would recommend it wholeheartedly, especially to those new to Kanna or seeking a natural energy and mood enhancer. KA! have exceeded my expectations, providing a refreshing and uplifting experience that I will continue to incorporate into my routine.

As a mental health professional, I'm always searching for natural supplements that can help my clients boost their mood and energy levels outside of the pharmaceutical industry. I had really positive personal experiences taking KA! on several occasions. While the Sichuan pepper flavor can be a little jarring at first, I quickly got used to it and began to even enjoy it over time. The boost of energy was quick and sustained for 2-3 hours. Generally, things felt a little brighter with KA! and its quickly become a go-to substance for me when I have an afternoon energy dip and/or want to have a fun and sparkly afternoon with friends.

What a delightfully clean energetic warmth of an experience. Simply put, I felt good for hours after one chew. Love kanna and can't wait for my next batch!
