Cannabinol

Why You Need It

• Sleep Support: CBN is gaining fame for its potential sedative effects, helping you drift off naturally.
• Pain Relief: Early research points to analgesic properties that may soothe sore muscles and inflammation.
• Neuroprotective Qualities: It may help protect brain cells, offering potential support for long-term cognitive health.

Deep Dive

CBN works by binding loosely to CB1 and CB2 receptors in your Endocannabinoid System. While THC binds tightly (causing a 'high'), CBN binds loosely, meaning it offers therapeutic effects without the intense psychoactive buzz.

Current science, including a 2021 study by the National Institutes of Health, suggests CBN acts similarly to mild tranquilizers for the nervous system. It is non-intoxicating, meaning you won't feel 'stoned.' It is best used as a targeted tool for relaxation and recovery, rather than a daily vitamin.

Natural Food Sources

Unlike Vitamin C (found in oranges) or Magnesium (found in spinach), CBN is not found in fruits, vegetables, or common foods. It is a compound derived exclusively from the hemp plant. To consume it 'naturally,' you would need to consume aged hemp flowers or oils.

Supplementation

Because CBN is rare in nature, most users turn to high-quality supplements. Look for CBN Isolate or broad-spectrum oils.

• Dosage: There is no official RDA. Studies suggest 2.5mg to 5mg per kg of body weight is effective for sedation. Start with a low dose (5-10mg) to assess tolerance.
  • Who should take it? Adults struggling with insomnia or chronic pain who have not found relief with standard CBD.
