CBN is one of the newer cannabinoids on the market.
It’s much less researched than CBD. But a few studies and anecdotal reports show that CBN could be more sedative than CBD. This makes CBN products potentially more useful for sleep. And this has also been our experience:
CBN is even more relaxing than CBD.
Today you’re getting a list of the best CBN oil products on the market.
We have tested and reviewed 12 products on the following metrics:
- Cannabinoid- and terpene-profiles;
- Transparency of the brand;
- Experienced effects;
- Value;
- Taste.
5 of these 12 products originally made it to our list. Updated October 2026: we re-checked every product’s lab reports, prices and availability, and added two new picks. We’ve also added a summary of the research on CBN and sleep.
Why? Because it’s easier for you if we keep this list short and simple.
Let’s get started:
Table of Contents
1. NuLeaf Naturals CBN Oil (Best Overall)
Update October 2026: NuLeaf’s CBN Oil now costs $46.49 for 900mg, $98.38 for 1800mg and $209 for 6000mg (checked October 20, 2026).
Nuleaf Naturals is an old-timer in the cannabinoid industry.
Before CBD was even federally legalized, NuLeaf Naturals was producing high-quality CBD products. They’re based in Colorado.
As alternative cannabinoids gained popularity, NuLeaf Naturals released more cannabinoid products. Among them these products are CBN oil and CBN oil capsules.
Now, when it comes to cannabinoid products…
At Herbonaut, we highly value true full-spectrum products. This means we value products that contain a wide variety of hemp-derived compounds. Whether the dominant cannabinoid is CBD, CBN, CBG, CBC, or any other cannabinoid…
Every cannabinoid product is more effective when it’s taken together with small amounts of other cannabinoids. Meaning, other cannabinoids than the dominant cannabinoid. Just like with vitamins, cannabinoids are more effective when taken in their natural context.
In their natural context, cannabinoids are never found isolated. They’re always together with other cannabinoids, and also terpenes.
And this is exactly where NuLeaf Naturals shines.
This CBN oil is a CBN-dominant product. But besides CBN, it contains a variety of other cannabinoids and terpenes, including:
- Delta-8 THC (0.13%);
- CBD (0.13%);
- CBC (0.11%);
- CBG (0.11%).
Nuleaf Naturals products also always contain hemp-derived terpenes. This specific product has a terpene concentration of 0.25%.
It’s also one of the more affordable full spectrum CBN oils on the market.
Add to that the following:
- Every batch comes with its own lab-test report. The report shows the cannabinoid-profile and contaminant-tests, and;
- We experienced potent sedative effects when testing this product…
And you’ll quickly understand why it made it to the top of our list.
Heads-up: Under a 2025 US federal law, from 11 December 2026 hemp products may contain at most 0.4 mg THC per container (Congressional Research Service). Full-spectrum products like this one are expected to be affected. If you’re buying after that date, choose NuLeaf’s Deep Rest Broad Spectrum (THC-free) CBD + CBN oil instead.

2. Lazarus Naturals CBD+CBN Sleep Tincture (Most CBN per Dollar)
New on this list in October 2026.
Lazarus Naturals’ Sleep tincture combines full-spectrum CBD with CBN: 30mg of CBD and 20mg of CBN per mL. A 30mL bottle costs $40 and a 120mL bottle $120 (checked October 20, 2026), so you get about 15mg of CBN per dollar.
The certificate of analysis on the product page (batch IF41, SC Laboratories Oregon and Anresco Laboratories) shows per mL: 33mg CBD, 20.9mg CBN, 0.9mg CBG, 0.9mg CBC and 1.24mg THC. Pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents and microbials were within limits. There’s no terpene test.
How we picked this: based on Lazarus Naturals’ product page and its published certificate of analysis (batch IF41). We haven’t scored it, because the products on this page don’t carry score boxes.
Heads-up: Under a 2025 US federal law, from 11 December 2026 hemp products may contain at most 0.4 mg THC per container (Congressional Research Service). Full-spectrum products like this one are expected to be affected. If you’re buying after that date, choose a THC-free CBD + CBN oil instead, such as NuLeaf’s Deep Rest Broad Spectrum oil.

The certificate of analysis on NuLeaf’s lab-report page (SC Laboratories California, ISO 17025-accredited, December 2025) shows per gummy: 13.8mg CBD, 5.0mg CBN, 3.7mg CBG and 0.37mg THC, with pesticide, heavy metal, solvent, mycotoxin and microbial tests passed.

Frequently Asked Questions About CBN Oil
What’s the Difference Between CBD And CBN?
Both CBD and CBN are hemp-derived cannabinoids.
But how they interact with receptor systems inside your body is slightly different.
CBN has a stronger affinity than CBD to bind to both cannabinoid receptors inside your body. But it has an especially strong interaction with cannabinoid receptor 2 (1).
CBN is often described as more sedating than CBD, but the research behind that is thin (see what the research says below).
Some people get better sleep-improving effects with CBN products than CBD products.
Not everyone gets sleep-improving effects from CBN though.
Cannabinoids can have widely differing effects on different individuals.
In our experience, CBN indeed is more sedative than CBD. But taking too much of it leads to grogginess.
What’s CBN Oil Used For?
The use cases of CBN and CBD overlap mostly.
Many people use CBN for sleep, although the research on that is limited.
Lab and animal studies have also looked at CBN for the following, but none of these effects has been confirmed in people (3):
- Anti-inflammatory effects
- Analgesic (painkilling)
- Anticonvulsant (potentially helpful for seizures/epilepsy)
- Anti-bacterial effects (especially against MRSA strains)
- Promotion of bone formation
- Appetite stimulant
- Improving symptoms of glaucoma
- Improving symptoms of psoriasis
What Does the Research Say About CBN and Sleep?
Surprisingly little. A 2021 review found only a handful of human studies on CBN, most of them from the 1970s, and concluded there isn’t enough evidence to say that CBN helps you sleep (4).
In one of those early studies, 5 men took CBN, THC or both. CBN on its own didn’t make them feel drowsy, but CBN together with THC made them feel more drowsy and “drugged” than THC alone (2). That may be one reason many CBN sleep products combine it with CBD, a little THC or melatonin.
If you try CBN for sleep, judge it by how you actually sleep, and don’t drive if you still feel groggy the next morning.
How Much CBN Do I Need to Sleep?
We experience good effects with 50-60mg of CBN.
If you’re taking a CBD-dominant CBN oil, then 10-20mg CBN and 50-60mg CBD.
But again:
These are not official dosage guidelines. Cannabinoids have widely differing effects individually. These doses are just what we find effective when taking CBN oil products.
What Are CBN’s Side Effects?
Because CBN has more potent sedative effects than CBD, you can also expect more side effects with CBN. Side effects like:
- Lethargy, and;
- Sleepiness;
Other than these, the side effects of CBN haven’t been well studied yet. The side effects of CBD have been studied quite extensively.
But we don’t know much about especially the long-term side effects of CBN
Does CBN Oil Show Up on a Drug-Test?
If you take CBN oil in the form of a full spectrum extract that contains some THC, you could fail a drug test. Why? Because drug tests always screen for THC.
However:
CBN itself doesn’t get screened for, so if you use a broad-spectrum or isolate product, you won’t fail a drug test.
To avoid failing a drug test:
Make sure to always use a product that’s backed by a third-party lab-test report. So you always know exactly whether and how much THC you’re ingesting.
