Trichome Gardens – Nighttime Formula Capsules (THC/CBN)

Trichome Gardens CocoCaps® are made with premium ethanol-extracted cannabis oil (EHO) infused in cold pressed organic extra virgin coconut oil. Due to a high content of saturated fatty acids (over 80%), Coconut oil is an ideal carrier for cannabinoids by providing ample binding and absorption, and therefore enhanced bioavailability.

Why Ethanol?

As opposed to hydrocarbon solvents commonly used in cannabis extractions, ethanol is an environmentally friendly renewable compound that is safe for human consumption. As opposed to more refined extractions, EHO is a broad-spectrum extraction that contains the full cannabinoid, terpene and phytonutrient profile that give cannabis its full range of medicinal and health benefits.

What is CBN?

Cannabinol (CBN) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid formed when THC degrades over time due to exposure to heat, oxygen, and prolonged aging of hemp material. As cannabis matures, THC levels decrease and convert into CBN, making it a marker of older cannabis.

Though mildly psychoactive—only about one-fourth as potent as THC—CBN has distinct characteristics. It has earned the nickname “the sleepy cannabinoid” due to studies suggesting its sedative effects, although most research has been conducted on animals, and terpenes may also contribute to this impact.

First recognized in 1999 by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, CBN’s discovery highlighted its link to THC degradation and cannabis aging. As research continues, CBN remains a fascinating compound with potential benefits, particularly for promoting relaxation and sleep.
