Reading the kanna numbers
BBCo's panel lists 20 mg kanna isolate, and its product page describes the blend as "Triblend Kanna," made from "Heavy, Uplifting, and Balanced kanna." Innerbloom's label lists 10 mg kanna (sourced from South Africa). One says isolate and the other says kanna, and kanna preparations differ, so don't read the two numbers as a like-for-like strength comparison. One can is one serving either way. How to read a kanna label.
Taste and ingredients
Botanical Brewing Kanna Pomegranate Fusion is BBCo's first kanna drink: pomegranate and raspberry, sparkling, sweetened with agave, apple juice and monk fruit. The ingredient list is filtered water, organic agave, organic apple juice, organic monk fruit, natural flavors, organic pomegranate juice, citric acid, tartaric acid and Sceletium tortuosum (kanna). Nothing else on the label is a botanical, so it's a kanna-only can. Read our full Pomegranate Fusion review.
Innerbloom Ethereal Drift is lighter and less sweet on paper: a lightly sparkling citrus base with watermelon and hibiscus, sweetened with organic agave nectar, with 0 g of added sugar on the label. Besides kanna extract, it lists L-theanine, magnesium bisglycinate and sea salt (Innerbloom calls it "electrolytes"). It's Innerbloom's only drink, in 8, 12 and 24-packs.
Price
At the brand sites on October 14, 2026, Innerbloom was cheaper per can: $5.00 to $6.00, against $7.23 to $7.65 for BBCo. Both are cheapest per can in a bigger pack, except BBCo's 12-pack, which works out lower per can than its 24-pack.
Which should you buy?
- Buy BBCo Kanna Pomegranate Fusion if you want a fruit-forward can, a kanna-only label, and the option to find it in a store with Botanical Brewing's locator.
- Buy Innerbloom if you want the lowest calories and sugar, and you're fine with L-theanine and magnesium in the can too.
Whichever you pick, have one can, not two, and don't mix it with alcohol or a kava can. Both labels say to avoid them if you're pregnant or nursing, and Innerbloom's also says to avoid it if you take SSRIs or MAOIs. Read who should skip kanna below.

Questions people ask
Which has more kanna, BBCo or Innerbloom?
BBCo's label lists 20 mg of kanna isolate and Innerbloom's lists 10 mg of kanna. They describe the ingredient differently, so the numbers aren't a direct strength comparison.
Which is lower in calories?
Innerbloom: 25 calories and 3 g of sugar per can, against 48 calories and 12 g of sugar for BBCo's Pomegranate Fusion.

Innerbloom, at $5.00 to $6.00 a can at the brand site on October 14, 2026. BBCo's Pomegranate Fusion was $7.23 to $7.65 a can.
Does either one contain kava?
No. Neither label lists kava. Innerbloom adds L-theanine and magnesium; BBCo's can is kanna only.

We don't recommend it, and BBCo's label says not to combine it with alcohol. Drink kanna instead of alcohol, not with it.
