There’s a new cannabinoid on the market! If you haven’t heard of CBN, cannabinol and its many benefits, keep reading!

What is it?

Cannabinol, also known as CBN, is one of the many chemical components in cannabis and hemp plants. It is much different than CBD, mainly because of its health benefits.

It may be confusing because CBD oil is the product that most people are familiar with, but this is something different.

CBN oil is a product made from CBN combined with CBD. It is difficult to find products with CBN, but it is believed that this compound works better in combination with CBD. It’s usually in a 1:3 ratio of CBN+CBD and is mainly used to improve users’ sleep.

CNB vs. CBD

CBD and CBN are different as they are not the same extract. Both have the same origin and are mainly used in similar ways, but with different characteristics. Since CBD is a more researched cannabinoid and there are many products containing it, CBN is a product that is more difficult to be found.

The main difference between CBN and CBD is that CBN cannot be found in the raw hemp plant, but it evolves from THC as it degrades over time. Despite the fact that it originates from THC, this cannabinoid is not psychoactive, meaning that you don’t have to worry about getting “high” by using CBN oil.

How does it work?

When you use CBN oil, the CBN will interact with your endocannabinoid system. This complex network in your body helps regulate your mood, appetite, and sleep. It also has endocannabinoid receptors that alert it to take action.

What are the benefits?

CBN isn’t studied as often as CBD. At this time, there is not enough research examining its potential benefits. CBN products are commonly marketed as sleep aids, but much more research needs to be done to back these claims.

Here are some of the potential benefits of CBN that we know so far:

Sleep & relaxation

If you want to enhance your relaxation state, CBN oil may be an excellent remedy. Researchers and consumers who’ve tried CBN believe the cannabinoid provides a meditative effect that allows you to feel more centred.

This meditative effect can also be great if you need a sleep aid. Because CBN helps you recenter and relax, it may help deepen your sleep so that you wake up feeling rejuvenated and refreshed.

Anti-inflammatory 

One of the best benefits of CBN is that it may be a potential anti-inflammatory agent. CBN helps decrease the effects of pain and arthritis, which occurs when there’s inflammation in the joints.
