Package insert and Patient information:

Sceletium tortuosum is traditionally used to elevate mood and to counteract anxiety, stress and tension. It contains mesembrine and mesembrine-type alkaloids, mesembrine is a potent serotonin-uptake inhibitor. Neurons in the brain releases serotonin (a neurotransmitter) that allows a signal to transient via it to the receiving neuron. It has been shown that in individuals suffering from depression, stress and anxiety, serotonin is lacking. Mesembrine in Sceletium tortuosum increases the serotonin levels in the neuron receptors by acting as a serotonin-uptake inhibitor, thereby increasing the possibility of signal transfer in neurons.
