MD17 Sceletium Extract:

Please consider buying one of our less concentrated extracts if you are a first time buyer. This extract is very concentrated, and intended for experienced Sceletium users only.

Our MD17 Extract is extremely potent and one of the strongest extract available worldwide. The high mesembrine content provides strong stimulating effects. In conjunction with the high alkaloid content, very small doses are perfect for workouts and bouts of intense focus and energy. This extract is also suitable to replace caffeine and/or ADHD medication.

Total alkaloid content = 17% (This means that 17% of the extract by weight is alkaloids). Of this 17%;

• 95% Mesembrine (Stimulating alkaloid, primarily serotonin and dopamine release)
• 3% Mesembrenone (Calming alkaloid, primarily a serotonin reuptake inhibitor)
• 2% Delta-7-Mesembrenone (Calming alkaloid, primarily a serotonin reuptake inhibitor)

Dosage:

First Time Use:

We recommend keeping the dose to 10mg or less, as this extract is noticeable in doses as small as 5mg. The larger side of the spoon is approximately 15mg and the smaller side is 5mg.

This can be added to food, a drink, placed directly in the mouth or even used as a smoking mix. Be warned this extract has a bitter taste due to its high alkaloid content.

Best Effects:

For the best effects we recommend taking 20-40mg per day, in 1-3 doses. Making this part of your daily routine adds to mental stability.

As you become accustomed to Sceletium the dose can be increased as needed up to as much as 200mg per day.

Side Benefits:

With Sceletium it is far more common to experience side benefits rather than side effects. For example, when using Sceletium for its antidepressant properties, users also benefit from improved motivation, cognitive function, and memory.

With pharmaceutical SSRIs it is common to experience the opposite, a lack of motivation, short term memory problems, impaired cognitive function, and a loss of sex drive. Sceletium on the other hand is able to help with depression and anxiety without the numbness and addiction so common with pharmaceutical treatments.

Side Effects:

The side effects of Sceletium are almost always related to the size of the dose. Should you encounter any discomfort such as nausea or a mild headache, it is advisable to reduce the dosage until these side effects subside.

The most frequently reported side effects encompass mild instances of nausea, dizziness, and diarrhoea. Importantly, these side effects are typically of a temporary nature and tend to dissipate once the Sceletium has been metabolised by the user's
body, or sooner.

Caution is advised when considering the use of Sceletium alongside SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) or MAOIs (monoamine oxidase inhibitors). Combining Sceletium with full doses of these medications should be avoided, as it can pose a risk of serotonin syndrome, a potentially serious condition characterised by excessive serotonin levels in the brain. 

However, Sceletium can be very useful during the withdrawal or tapering process when discontinuing SSRIs or MAOIs. This should be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional, who can assist in gradually reducing medication dosages and monitoring for potential side effects or complications while introducing Sceletium.
