Where does CBN come from? Does CBD And CBN Mix?
Origins
CBN was first discovered in 1940 by researchers at the University of Illinois. Since then, research into the effects of CBN has grown, and it is now used as an ingredient in many products, such as tinctures, oils, and edibles. CBN is a cannabinoid found in the hemp plant. It is produced from the breakdown of THC in hemp flower and is found in higher concentrations in hemp that have been aged or exposed to air for extended periods. It can be extracted from hemp and introduced into products at higher levels to produce more profound effects.
Mixing CBD and CBN:
CBD and CBN are both compounds that interact with the same receptors in the brain, but in different ways. When combined, the two compounds create a synergistic effect that can be more effective than either one alone. For example, when CBD and CBN are taken together, they can help reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality more than either one alone. Additionally, CBD and CBN can help reduce inflammation and pain more effectively when taken together. This is also known as the entourage effect.
