Benefits of CBN Testing Kits

Cannabinol or CBN was one of the first cannabinoid to be isolated and identified from Cannabis sativa. As with Cannabidiol (CBD), CBN is also used for its potential medicinal qualities. When THC in cannabis plats ages, it breaks down into CBN. It has mild psychoactive properties, but they are not as strong as THC. However, unlike CBD which is not psychoactive at all, CBN in large doses does have mild psychoactive reactions. The research done on CBN is still limited due to the fact that it takes a long time to produce this compound. However, even with the limited research, some medical uses for CBN have been discovered. To test the potency of CBN in the compounds used medically, CBN testing kits are important.

Possible benefits of CBN:

·         Sleep aid

Many people have reported getting a more restful sleep as a result of consuming CBN. The official studies conducted do not give us enough data to conclude that it is highly effective, but since people stand by it, it is generally accepted. It is sometimes prescribed in cases like insomnia, where the CBN testing kits can help measure the potency and thus adjust the dosage.

·         Anti-Inflammatory properties

Some studies have shown that consumption of CBN reduces the effects of arthritis. This study however has been done mostly on rodents, and human testing has been minimal. It is a promising avenue though given the success of the studies conducted.

·         Anti-bacterial effects

In a laboratory setting, CBN was tested on strains of MRSA bacteria that are resistant to traditional antibiotics. Researchers found it to be a potent antibacterial agent against these resistant strains. CBN testing kits are essential to measure the potency at which the anti-bacterial properties as at the highest. It might be used as a potent antibiotic in the future with further research.

·         Appetite stimulant

CBN has been seen to increase the appetite during test on rodents in a lab setting. THC is known to increase appetite, but it is not very widely used as it has psychoactive effects. Since CBN does not have that issue, CBN testing kits can be used to measure the potency at which this effect of the cannabinoid can be utilized most effectively.

·         Neuro-protective properties

In a rodent study done in lab setting, it was found that CBN was able to delay the onset of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) when used as a treatment. It is a neurodegenerative condition that affects the brain cells and the spinal cord. The effects were so satisfactory that it has been determined that CBN has the potential to a powerful neuroprotectant.
