There are lots of cannabinoids out there, approximately 100, that we know of. One that has been making headlines in the last few years is CBN. If you have ever wondered what are CBN in gummies, we are going to break it down for you in this blog.
CBN, or cannabinol, is a cannabinoid that is found in the cannabis plant. It is a mildly psychoactive compound that is formed when THC, the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, breaks down over time. CBN is typically found in older cannabis plants or in cannabis that has been exposed to oxygen or heat.
CBN is believed to have a range of potential therapeutic benefits, including sedative and anti-inflammatory properties. Some research has also suggested that CBN may have the ability to stimulate appetite and act as an anticonvulsant. However, it’s generally agreed that the entourage effect is the most powerful confluence of cannabis as medicine.
It’s worth noting that while CBN is found in cannabis, it is not as well-known as other cannabinoids such as THC or CBD. Additionally, because CBN is only present in trace amounts in most cannabis strains, it is not typically used as the primary active ingredient in cannabis products.
CBN gummies are enhanced with concentrated CBN. CBN is believed to have sedative properties and may be helpful for improving sleep. Some research suggests that CBN may help to reduce sleep disturbances and increase total sleep time, although more research is needed to fully understand the effects of CBN on sleep.
One study published in the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics found that CBN was able to prolong sleep time in mice. Another study published in the Journal of Cannabis Research found that CBN was able to improve sleep quality in a small group of human participants.
It’s worth noting that while CBN may be helpful for improving sleep, it should not be used as a replacement for proper sleep hygiene practices. This includes maintaining a regular sleep schedule, avoiding stimulants like caffeine before bed, and creating a sleep-conducive environment. Cannabis is a great tool but nothing replaces good habits and a restful mind!
A study published in the journal Molecules found that CBN was able to reduce pain sensitivity in mice. Another study published in the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics found that CBN was able to reduce inflammation and pain in rats.
CBN, or cannabinol, may have the potential to stimulate appetite, although more research is needed to fully understand its effects on appetite.
CBN is believed to interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating appetite. Some research has suggested that CBN may have the ability to stimulate appetite by increasing the activity of specific receptors in the brain that are involved in regulating hunger.
A study published in the British Journal of Pharmacology found that CBN was able to increase food intake in rats. Another study published in the journal Psychopharmacology found that CBN was able to increase feeding behavior in mice.
