CBN Oil 5% + CBD 2.5%

CBN Oil 5% with CBD — Cibdol's Dual-Cannabinoid Night Formula

CBN oil 5% is a cannabinol-rich hemp extract designed for your evening routine, combining 500mg of CBN with 250mg of CBD in a single 10ml bottle. Cibdol — one of Europe's most established cannabinoid brands — pairs these two compounds at a 2:1 ratio, giving CBN the lead role while CBD rounds out the formula. If you've tried CBD oils on their own and felt they were missing something for the wind-down hours, this is the next step up.

CBN (cannabinol) is a secondary cannabinoid formed as THC degrades over time — it occurs naturally in aged hemp and cannabis plant material. Unlike THC, CBN is non-intoxicating. According to a study published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, CBN strongly influences ontologies related to ion channels and synapse activity (PMC 11430194), which may partly explain why it has traditionally been associated with evening use. The CBD component needs less introduction — it's the most widely researched cannabinoid after THC, with thousands of published studies exploring its interaction with the endocannabinoid system.

What Makes This CBN Oil Different from Standard CBD Oils

Most CBD oils on the shelf are exactly that — CBD oils. They contain cannabidiol as the primary active compound, sometimes with trace amounts of other cannabinoids. This Cibdol formula flips the script. CBN sits at 5% (500mg), making it the dominant cannabinoid, while CBD at 2.5% (250mg) plays a supporting role. That's a deliberate formulation choice, not a random blend.

Cibdol uses CO2-extracted hemp oil as the carrier, which preserves the terpene and cannabinoid profile better than alcohol-based extraction methods. Each bottle comes with a graduated dropper for consistent dosing — something we appreciate, because guessing your intake with cannabinoids is a recipe for inconsistent results. The oil itself has a mild, earthy hemp taste. Not unpleasant, but not exactly a treat either. If you've had CBD oil before, you know the flavour profile: grassy, slightly nutty, with that characteristic hemp finish that lingers for a minute or two.

One honest limitation: at 10ml, this is a smaller bottle than many CBD oils on the market. You're paying for concentration and formulation, not volume. If you're someone who uses high doses daily, you'll go through it faster than a standard 30ml bottle. That said, CBN oils at this percentage are genuinely hard to find — most competitors top out at 2-3% CBN, so Cibdol's 5% is at the higher end of what's commercially available.

CBN Oil Dosage — How Many mg per Drop

Cibdol's 10ml bottle contains approximately 200 drops. With 500mg of CBN and 250mg of CBD in the bottle, each drop delivers roughly 2.5mg of CBN and 1.25mg of CBD. That gives you precise control over your intake.

According to dosage guidance from cannabinoid researchers, beginning with 5-10mg of combined cannabinoids is a sensible starting point if you're new to hemp extracts. That translates to about 2-3 drops of this oil. Most people find their working dose within 1-2 weeks of gradual adjustment. Clinical research on CBD has used doses ranging widely — the WHO Critical Review Report notes that CBD has been studied at doses up to 1,500mg daily with an acceptable safety profile (WHO CBD Report, 2018), though CBN-specific dosing research is still in earlier stages.

Cibdol recommends taking the oil sublingually — under the tongue — and holding it there for 60-90 seconds before swallowing. This allows absorption through the mucous membranes, which is faster than swallowing directly. Most users report noticing initial effects within 30-60 minutes.

Why CBN Oil Belongs in Your Evening Routine

Here's the thing about cannabinoids: they're not all the same, and the differences matter. CBD has become the mainstream option, and for good reason — the research base is substantial. But we've had plenty of customers over the years tell us that CBD alone didn't quite get them where they wanted to be in the evenings. That's where CBN comes in.

CBN is one of the lesser-known cannabinoids, but it's been gaining serious attention. According to research published in PMC, CBN influences ion channel and synapse-related gene expression at multiple dose levels (PMC 11430194). While the research is still developing — and we'd never claim CBN is a magic bullet — the combination of CBN and CBD in a single oil is more interesting than either compound alone. The entourage effect, where multiple cannabinoids and terpenes work in combination rather than isolation, is a well-documented concept in cannabinoid science.

The practical reality: if you're using this oil, you're likely looking for something to add to a consistent evening wind-down. It's not a replacement for good sleep hygiene — dark room, no screens, consistent schedule — but it's a tool in the toolkit. We'd pick this Cibdol CBN oil over cheaper alternatives because the concentration is genuinely higher than most competitors, and Cibdol publishes third-party lab results for every batch. Transparency matters when you're putting something under your tongue every night.

How to Use CBN Oil 5%

1. Shake the bottle gently before each use to ensure the cannabinoids are evenly distributed.
2. Fill the graduated dropper by squeezing and releasing the rubber top.
3. Place 2-3 drops under your tongue. The sublingual area has thin tissue that allows faster absorption into the bloodstream.
4. Hold the oil under your tongue for 60-90 seconds. Resist the urge to swallow immediately — this waiting period makes a real difference to how quickly you feel the effects.
5. Swallow any remaining oil. Chase with water if the hemp taste bothers you.
6. Use in the evening, ideally 30-60 minutes before you want to start winding down. Consistency matters more than any single dose.
7. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dark place. Direct sunlight degrades cannabinoids over time.

Safety, Side Effects and Drug Interactions

CBN and CBD are generally well-tolerated, but they're not without considerations. According to the WHO Critical Review Report on CBD, the most commonly reported adverse effects in clinical studies include somnolence (36% vs 10% placebo), fatigue, and changes in appetite (WHO CBD Report, 2018). With CBN specifically, drowsiness is the most frequently noted effect — which, depending on your reason for taking it, may be the point rather than a side effect.

According to research reviewed in PMC, CBD-induced drug-drug interactions have been observed, particularly with medications metabolised by liver enzymes CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 (PMC 7052834). If you're taking prescription medication — especially opioids, benzodiazepines, blood thinners, or anti-epileptic drugs — speak with your doctor before adding any cannabinoid product to your routine. Increased sedation has been reported when cannabinoids are combined with other CNS depressants.

Dry mouth is another common report. Keep water nearby. And if you experience any digestive discomfort, try taking the oil with a small amount of food rather than on a completely empty stomach.
