The Desk
Who writes this — and what we hold it to.
Every review and guide on Kanna Reviews is published by The Kanna Reviews Desk— our independent editorial team. We're the people checking the mesembrine-alkaloid numbers against the lab reports so you don't have to.
Our promise
- COA-first, always. No product gets ranked with numbers unless it has a published, batch-matched third-party lab report — and the label's alkaloid claims have to match it. It's the whole reason we exist.
- Independence over payouts. We earn affiliate commissions on some links, but verdicts are set on the merits before money is considered. A brand can't buy a spot, a badge, or a softer sentence. See our disclosure.
- No health claims, ever. We report what the documents say and how a product behaves in testing — never medical outcomes. We read published lab reports; we don't run a lab, and we're not doctors.
- We keep it current. 18 reviews and guides and counting, re-checked as brands reformulate and new batch results publish.
How we work
The full methodology — the COA pull, alkaloid verification, cost-per-standardized-dose math, the standardized-extract check, the hands-on panel, and the re-review cycle — is laid out in detail on How We Test. It's the same process behind every verdict on this site.
