Extract Collection

Laboratory-grade botanicals

Each extract is cold-processed to preserve the full alkaloid spectrum, then standardized and third-party tested before it leaves the bench.

Mesembrine complex

Kanna Alkaloid Extract

Sceletium tortuosum

Standardized fermented kanna, extracted to hold a consistent mesembrine-family alkaloid profile.

1000mg standardized View
Kavalactones

Kava CO₂ Extract

Piper methysticum

Noble kava root, CO₂-extracted to carry the full six-kavalactone chemotype of a traditional Pacific preparation.

6-lactone profile View
Aporphine alkaloids

Blue Lotus Resin

Nymphaea caerulea

Cold-process resin from the sacred Egyptian water lily, concentrated for its aporphine and nuciferine content.

3500mg per jar View
Nuciferine + aporphine

Blue Lotus Tincture

Nymphaea caerulea

Cold ethanol tincture of blue lotus resin, drawn at low temperature to keep the delicate alkaloids intact.

Our Method

The extraction process

From raw botanical to verified extract, every step is temperature-controlled and documented for potency and purity.

Step 01

Ethical sourcing

We work directly with growers across the Pacific and Southern Africa, alongside our own Texas Hill Country plots, so every raw lot is traceable to its origin.

origin: documented
Step 02

Cold extraction

Our cold ethanol extraction holds temperature below 40°C, preserving delicate alkaloids that heat-based methods degrade.

temp ceiling: <40°C
Step 03

Multi-stage purification

Successive filtration removes plant matter while retaining the active compounds, refining each batch toward laboratory clarity.

clarity: 5-stage
Step 04

Lab testing & verification

Independent third-party labs quantify potency and screen for contaminants. Every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis.

COA: every batch
Compound Research

The molecules we work with

Rotate each compound. These are the alkaloids we standardize for, named and quantified rather than implied.

C₁₇H₂₃NO₃

Mesembrine

The signature alkaloid of Sceletium tortuosum. We quantify the mesembrine family by HPLC on every kanna lot.

C₁₄H₁₄O₃

Kavain

One of the six major kavalactones in noble kava. The full lactone ratio is what defines a chemotype, so we carry it through whole.

C₁₉H₂₁NO₂

Nuciferine

An aporphine alkaloid from Nymphaea caerulea. Cold processing keeps this fused-ring structure intact in the resin and tincture.
