In the world of health and wellness, there's a new player making waves, especially for those who've led demanding lifestyles. Whether you're looking for better rest or enhanced recovery, Cannabinol (CBN) might just be the ally you've been waiting for. At Wolf 21, we're at the forefront of harnessing this compound's potential to help you recharge and rebuild.

Understanding CBN: The Sleep-Friendly Cannabinoid

What is CBN?

Cannabinol ( CBN ) is a naturally occurring compound found in the cannabis plant. It's a minor cannabinoid, meaning it's present in smaller quantities compared to more well-known compounds like THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). CBN is actually derived from THC as the plant ages, but unlike THC, it doesn't produce psychoactive effects.

How is CBN Different from CBD and THC?

While CBN, CBD, and THC are all cannabinoids, they interact with our body's endocannabinoid system in different ways:

  • THC is known for its psychoactive effects and is responsible for the "high" associated with cannabis use.

  • CBD is non-psychoactive and is widely used for its potential health benefits, including reducing anxiety and inflammation.

  • CBN, our star player, is also non-psychoactive but is gaining attention specifically for its potential sleep-promoting and sedative effects.

The Science Behind CBN and Sleep

How CBN May Promote Better Sleep


  1. Sedative Properties: Early research suggests that CBN may have sedative effects, potentially helping users fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.*

  2. Relaxation: CBN may help calm the mind and body, making it easier to unwind and prepare for sleep.*

  3. Pain Relief: For those dealing with chronic pain that interferes with sleep, CBN's potential analgesic properties could provide relief.*

CBN and the Entourage Effect

The "entourage effect " suggests cannabinoids work better together than in isolation. When CBN is combined with other cannabinoids like CBD, the potential benefits may be enhanced. This is why some products, like our Bed Down Gummies, combine multiple cannabinoids for a more comprehensive approach to sleep and recovery.

Beyond Sleep: Additional Potential Benefits of CBN

While sleep improvement is the primary focus of CBN research, early studies and anecdotal evidence suggest it may have other beneficial properties:

  1. Anti-inflammatory Effects: CBN might help reduce inflammation in the body, which could be particularly beneficial for recovery after intense physical activity.*

  2. Neuroprotective Potential: Some research indicates that CBN could have neuroprotective properties, potentially supporting overall brain health.*

  3. Appetite Stimulation: For individuals struggling with appetite issues due to stress, medication, or other factors, CBN might help stimulate hunger.*

  4. Bone Health: Preliminary studies suggest CBN might stimulate stem cells that help create new bone cells, potentially supporting bone health.*

CBN for High-Performance Individuals

For those leading active and demanding lifestyles, quality sleep isn't just about feeling rested—it's about recovery, mental clarity, and maintaining peak performance. Here's why CBN might be particularly beneficial for this demographic:

  1. Stress Management: High-intensity lifestyles can lead to elevated stress levels. CBN's relaxation properties may help manage this stress, promoting better sleep.*

  2. Pain Management: For those dealing with injuries or physical strain, CBN's potential pain-relieving properties could provide a natural alternative or complement to traditional pain management approaches.*

  3. Sleep Cycle Regulation: Individuals who have experienced irregular sleep patterns due to demanding schedules or intense training might find CBN helpful in regulating their sleep cycles.

  4. Non-Habit Forming: Unlike some sleep aids, CBN is not known to be habit-forming, making it a potentially safer long-term solution for sleep issues.
