Definition:
SRI stands for Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor—a broader term than SSRI. While SSRIs specifically target serotonin, SRIs can include compounds that block serotonin reuptake as well as those that may also influence other neurotransmitters slightly. The goal of any SRI is to increase serotonin levels in the brain by preventing it from being reabsorbed too quickly.
Why It Matters:
Kanna contains alkaloids like mesembrine and mesembrenone, which function as SRIs. This serotonin-boosting action is believed to underlie kanna’s calming and mood-enhancing effects.
