The Benefits of CBN – A Cannabinoid Worth Noting

Known as Cannabinol, CBN in its abbreviated form, is a minor cannabinoid from the hemp plant that has gained attention for its potential therapeutic properties, though research is still in the early stages. Unlike THC, CBN is non-intoxicating, and is known for its calming and sedative effects.  

This minor cannabinoid has gained attention for its potential therapeutic properties by promoting a state of relaxation.

1. CBN can be an effective sleep aid

CBN is often cited for its sedative properties and potential to promote restful sleep. Actively affecting the CB1 receptor, CBN can increase total sleep time. (CBN) interacts with both the CB1and the CB2 receptors, though it exhibits a higher affinity and selectivity for the CB2 receptor compared to CB1. CBN produces a state of relaxation similar to THC without the intoxicating effect. 

2.CBN as an Isolate – Natural, pure and effective. 

Our CBN is an isolate extracted using state-of-the art techniques ensuring maximum purity and potency. Through a series of distillation and isolation processes we remove all other cannabinoids and impurities leaving behind only the pure CBN compound. Derived from the cannabis plant, our CBN isolate contains zero THC and offers the purest form of CBN for maximum effect.

3.CBN for relaxation.

To achieve restful sleep, the body often first needs to be in a state of relaxation. The inherent properties of CBN are associated with promoting a sense of calm and ease. This makes CBN highly beneficial for preparing the body and mind for rest, especially after a long day or during periods of stress.

4.CBN may help with pain and inflammation.

Some research suggests that CBN may have analgesic (pain-relieving) properties by influencing the nerve pathways involved in sensing pain. A 2019 study on rats found that CBN, especially when combined with CBD, could help reduce muscle and joint pain.

5.CBN as an anti-inflammatory agent.

Like other cannabinoids, CBN has shown anti-inflammatory effects by interacting with certain cannabinoid receptors. This effect will not cure any disease but may be useful for conditions like arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.

6. Calm without the High…and no crash!

Though it is mildly psychoactive, CBN is not known to produce the intense "high" associated with THC. It is often associated with promoting relaxation and sleep, earning it the nickname "the sleepy cannabinoid".
