Evidence & key findings

PHARMACOLOGICAL AND NEUROBIOLOGICAL RESEARCH

FINDING.01
Sceletium tortuosum appears to exhibit anxiolytic, antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties associated with emotional wellbeing and cognitive health.

View Paper

FINDING.02
Sceletium tortuosum appears to modulate serotonergic, monoaminergic, and stress-response pathways associated with mood regulation, stress resilience, and cognitive processing.

View Paper

Manganyi et al. reviewed the biological and pharmaceutical properties of Sceletium tortuosum, highlighting evidence for anxiolytic, antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects linked to mesembrine-type alkaloids. The review further discussed the plant’s traditional use for stress relief, emotional wellbeing, fatigue reduction, and cognitive support.

Olatunji et al. subsequently reviewed the phytochemistry, pharmacokinetics, biological, and clinical activities of Sceletium tortuosum, reporting that mesembrine alkaloids demonstrated serotonergic and monoaminergic activity together with phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibition.
These mechanisms are associated with stress modulation, emotional regulation, cognitive flexibility, and higher-order neurocognitive processing.

CONTEXT

Preclinical and neuropharmacological research on Sceletium tortuosum includes investigations into mesembrine alkaloids and their effects on serotonergic signaling, monoaminergic activity, PDE4 inhibition, stress physiology, inflammation, and emotional processing.

ANIMAL STUDIES

FINDING.01
Bulbine natalensis appears to enhance sexual performance and sexual behaviour in male rats.

View Paper

FINDING.02
Bulbine natalensis appears to stimulate androgenic / anabolic pathways associated with male reproductive physiology.

View Paper

Yakubu and Afolayan reported that aqueous extracts of Bulbine natalensis enhanced male sexual behaviour in rats, increasing mount frequency, intromission frequency, penile reflexes, testosterone, and luteinizing hormone levels.

A subsequent study by the same authors demonstrated corresponding anabolic and androgenic effects — including elevated testicular testosterone, gonadotropins, and reproductive tissue activity — suggesting a hormonal mechanism underlying the observed aphrodisiac effects.

COMMERCIAL CULTIVATION AT SCALEL

A cultivation model designed for commercial success.

Our cultivation project started with selecting 100 chemotypes
from wild sceletium plants which we analysed for alkaloids.
The most balanced profiles were selected and replicated
into a nursery and since then we have continued of selecting
commercially successful chemotypes that are successfully
in a commercial environment.

Our business model makes provision for commercial scalability
for brands that are growing rapidly, ensuring standardisation
in source material to ensure batch consistency and detailed
traceability.

Plants are grown using organic farming methods in their natural
habitat of the Karoo South Africa.

Our sourcing model is designed to ensure long-term commercial
viability by ensuring:

Standardised alkaloid profiles from selected genotypes

Ecosystem integrity with organic farming methods
