Effects and properties of Sakae Naa

Sakae Naa is a shrub or small tree from the Combretaceae family, native mainly to Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam.

Powder made from Sakae Naa leaves has a natural green-brown color and a mild herbal aroma. Thanks to its very fine consistency, it dissolves easily. It contains no additives, flavorings, or colorants and is a purely ground plant material.

Some collectors perceive this plant similarly to kratom – as an interesting ethnobotanical collector’s specimen.
