Understanding CBN

If you have started to research cannabis, you are probably familiar with THC and CBD, but you might not have heard as much about the minor cannabinoids, such as CBN (cannabinol). These are medicinal compounds that are unique to cannabis. Products that contain CBN, such as CBN capsules, can provide you with a range of benefits. However, you might want to take some time to learn more about CBN before making a decision.

What Is CBN?

Cannabinol is a cannabinoid that is typically found in older cannabis. It is a non-intoxicating compound, which means that it does not have any psychoactive effects like people get when they take THC. However, it can still provide you with a range of health benefits.

Were you aware that CBN was the first naturally occurring cannabinoid that was isolated in its pure form? This happened in 1896. Interestingly, CBN is an oxidation product of THC. When THC is exposed to light and heat, it becomes CBN. You will find that CBN and CBD have some similarities when it comes to the types of benefits they can offer, even though they interact with the body differently. This is why they are so often used together, as you will see in the products like the CBD and CBN capsules from Raw Botanics.

CBN is mildly psychoactive, but it does not produce a high as you would expect from THC. Many of the products that feature CBN are used to help people relax and sleep. However, before you choose this option, you will want to know more about the main benefits that can be expected from these types of products.

What Are the Main Benefits of CBN?

In addition to the potential to help aid people's sleep, there is also some evidence that it could help with pain relief. A study from 2019 in rats found that when using CBD and CBN, it was possible to reduce myofascial pain. The researchers concluded that it may be possible to use CBD and CBN to relieve pain from issues such as fibromyalgia and temporomandibular disorders.

There is also some evidence that CBN could help to reduce inflammation caused by arthritis, and that it could provide some neuroprotective effects. It may even help to improve appetite in those who have trouble eating enough.

Although there still needs to be more research done to provide more evidence for these types of benefits, there is a substantial amount of anecdotal evidence from people who have been using CBN soft gels and tinctures, and who have experienced the results for themselves. In the future, we may find even more benefits that can be achieved through using these types of products.

Products Offering CBN

Raw Botanics provides several products that include CBN. Let’s get a closer look at these products to see which one might be right for you.

REST CBN Softgels 750 mg

This is a popular product that can help with sleep support and stress relief while providing anti-inflammatory benefits. This bottle contains 30 servings of broad-spectrum hemp extract in soft gel form. Each bottle contains 750 mg of active CBN, with 25 mg in each of the CBN soft gels.

You should take one of these soft gels each day with food and water. While you could take the supplement whenever you like during the day, it tends to be a better option to add it to your nighttime ritual. This way, it can better aid you when you are trying to get to sleep at night. Take it about an hour before you lay down to go to sleep.

This product features a proprietary blend of terpenes including beta-caryophyllene, limonene, myrcene, linalool, nerolidol, terpineol, phytol, borneol, alpha-terpineol, and alpha-pinene. It also includes two adaptogens—ashwagandha and reishi.

REST CBD + CBN Tincture 1,000 mg

This is a tincture formula, and it differs from the soft gels in several ways. For starters, this product includes CBD, whereas the soft gels do not. The bottle includes 30+ servings of broad-spectrum hemp extract. There is 1ml of CBD and CBN per serving. The bottle contains 900 mg active CBD and 100 mg active CBN.

You will find that the formula tastes good, which is a nice benefit when compared with many of the other options on the market. It features tasting notes of coconut, citrus, and ginger. This CBD and CBN tincture help with sleep support, stress relief, immunity, and also offers anti-inflammatory properties.

The product contains the same proprietary blend of terpenes and adaptogens as is found in the CBN soft gels. The main differences are the inclusion of CBD and the fact that it’s a CBN tincture rather than CBN capsules. Again, you can take this toward the end of your evening, so it can help you get to sleep. The product is called REST, after all.

Gift Packs

In addition to being able to buy each of the products mentioned above separately, you can also buy gift pack bundles that include them. There is an option for the tincture that also comes with muscle and joint relief cream, as well as an option for the CBN soft gels and the muscle and joint relief cream. Buying them in the bundle can help you save some money, plus you get an extra product.

A Closer Look at the Formula

REST features powerful terpenes and adaptogens. Let’s examine a few of these other ingredients further to see what types of benefits they can provide.

Alpha-terpineol can provide a range of antioxidant benefits, and it has been researched as a potential for cancer treatment. Beta-caryophyllene binds well with CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Linalool can provide anti-inflammatory benefits, and it improves sleep while reducing stress and anxiety.

The adaptogen ashwagandha is also known to help reduce stress and anxiety in the body. It can also help to fight against depression and boost brain function. Reishi is another powerful adaptogen. The mushroom has been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine and offers a range of benefits including immunity support. It has also been shown to have calming effects, helping to reduce anxiety.

The ingredients that are used in the formulation work well with the CBN, and the CBD in the case of the tincture. Together, they work well to provide users with a product that truly works.

Why Do Most People Use These CBN Products?

Many people have trouble getting to sleep at night and staying asleep through the night. The stress and anxiety that they feel keep them up, and they end up not getting enough good sleep. They wake up tired and this cycle continues. People take CBN soft gels and tinctures because they want to have a better way of getting to sleep.

Effects of Not Sleeping Properly

If you aren’t getting enough sleep, or if the quality of your sleep is poor, it can have many negative effects. When you are deprived of sleep, whether it’s for one or two days, or it is a chronic problem, it can wreak havoc on your mind. Let’s look at some of the major issues.

• Memory Issues – When you sleep, your brain creates connections that help process and remember new information. When you don’t get enough sleep, it can affect your long and short-term memory.
• Concentration and Thinking – When you don’t get enough sleep, you will often find that you have more trouble with critical thinking and problem-solving. It can affect your concentration and deplete your creativity.
• Mood - People who aren’t sleeping well will often find that they become moody. They might be more emotional and could lose their temper more easily. If sleeplessness persists, it could lead to depression or anxiety.
• Weakened Immunity – When you don’t sleep, your immune system will start to weaken, making you more susceptible to getting sick when exposed to germs.
• High Blood Pressure – You are at a greater risk of high blood pressure if you have five or fewer hours of good sleep each night.
• Weight Gain – The chemicals in your brain that let you know when you are full will be out of balance when you aren’t sleeping properly. This means that many people are more likely to overeat, even though they’ve had enough.
• Increased Diabetes Risk – Lack of sleep will affect how your body releases insulin, which is the hormone that lowers sugar in the body. Those who are not getting enough sleep often have higher blood sugar levels, which puts them at a greater risk for type 2 diabetes.
• Poor Balance – Not getting enough sleep can affect your balance. This means that you could be more prone to slipping and falling or even getting lightheaded during the day. This is especially true if you also have elevated blood pressure.
• Risk of Heart Disease – Because not getting enough sleep can lead to an increased risk of high blood pressure, it also means that there is an elevated risk of heart disease.
• Lowered Sex Drive – Those who do not get enough sleep will often have a lower libido. In men, this could lead to a decrease in their testosterone levels.

Choose REST

REST is a good option because it has the blend of terpenes and adaptogens mentioned above that help you get to a state of deep sleep. You can wake up and feel more refreshed. Getting good sleep and waking up feeling more awake and vibrant can change your life.

The Products Work Quickly

If you are like most people, you want to make sure that you feel the effects quickly. Thanks to the way these products are made, you will find that they have increased bioavailability and faster onset action. This means that you can take less of the product, but it will still be absorbed by your body. You can take less and still get more. The product works fast, as well, which is important for those who are trying to get some better sleep.

The MCT oil used in the products does more than just improve the taste. It can also help to ensure the delivery of the ingredients is more efficient.

Is CBN Right for Everyone?

While you will not have to worry about any bad side effects with this all-natural product, you will find that it still doesn’t mean that it’s the right choice for everyone. The products from Raw Botanics, including CBN, are not for those who are under 18. Additionally, you shouldn’t take it if you are pregnant, lactating, or suffering from a medical condition, or taking other medications.

Just as you should do with any supplement you are taking, you should always talk with a physician before you begin use. They will let you know whether you can take the product without any concern.
