While many people still turn to plain CBD for sleep, the truth is that CBN (Cannabinol) is the more effective option. Let’s explore why so many still rely on CBD, and what makes CBN stand out.
The Sleep Struggle: A Common Issue for Millions
According to psychiatry.org, approximately 34% of U.S. adults—about 87 million people—report poor or only fair sleep quality, and around 50 million Americans suffer from chronic sleep disorders. Sleep is a critical health issue, and the quest for better rest drives many to try CBD and its related compounds.
How Does CBD Help with Sleep?
The magic and medicine of the cannabis plant, female and wise, is complicated. It’s not a simple question. First, for a long time, we had no science to lean on. Secondly, the Sisters have to admit that equal numbers of customers report using CBD successfully for sleep, as they do to put a pep in their step in the morning. Seems contradictory, but science is beginning to look at it more closely and the public is beginning to understand adaptogen properties.
The Link Between Insomnia, Anxiety, and CBD
In a Forbes article from January 2024, Dr. Whitelocke suggests that anxiety is at the root of most insomnia and believes CBD is effective for sleep because it reduces anxiety. He explains that CBD can calm an overactive stress response, allowing the body to rebalance its sleep-wake cycle.
In addition, CBD is shown to help with restless leg syndrome, another common cause of poor sleep. As the article highlights, CBD interacts with endocannabinoid receptors in the brain’s limbic system, which regulates emotions, memories, and sleep patterns. This action helps restore balance and promote better rest.
Why Gummies Aren’t Always the Answer
People love their CBD gummies, but we believe in being cautious when wrapping medicine in candy. It’s effective in certain cases (think ginger chews for nausea), but not always ideal. There’s a risk when children mistake medicinal gummies for candy or misuse them. It’s essential to be mindful of how we present medicine.
The Power of CBD/CBN Gelcaps
CBD alone can help people stay asleep but combining it with CBN is where true sleep support happens. Our vegan gelcaps are designed to help you fall asleep and stay asleep, thanks to the ideal combination of CBD, CBN, and a touch of Delta 9 THC.
While studies on CBN are still limited, a National Institute of Medicine study shows that a 20 mg dose improves sleep. Our independent research has found that the most effective combination for sleep is a 1:5 ratio of CBD to CBN, with a dash of Delta 9 THC. Each of our gelcaps contains 14 mg of CBD, 9 mg ofCBN, and 0.5 mg of Delta 9 THC, a golden combination that works with your body’s natural rhythms.
Sourcing Quality CBD Products
Wherever you source your CBD or CBN products, ensure they come from state-licensed, lab-tested producers. Supporting regulated businesses helps protect consumers and boosts the hemp industry’s reputation. Unregulated products are risky and potentially unsafe.
Why Our Products Stand Out
- We rigorously test our products for potency and purity.
- We hold three state licenses across different categories, including pet food, human food, and cosmetics.
- Our products are made in small, fresh batches, aligned with the cycles of the moon and in a spiritual environment.
- Every bottle and jar is made with healing intention.
