Unless you’re using a CBD isolate product, you’re likely to find other herbs, phytocannabinoids and sleep-promoting ingredients in a CBD gummy intended for sleep, such as:
Cannabinol (CBN). Another popular cannabinoid, CBN may help alleviate symptoms of epidermolysis bullosa (rare diseases that cause the skin to blister easily) and glaucoma and may help relieve chronic muscle pain, according to research .
Cannabigerol (CBG). This cannabinoid may have antibacterial properties and can potentially help treat neurologic disorders and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Melatonin. A naturally occurring hormone, melatonin can also be created artificially to help ease symptoms of jet lag, delayed sleep-wake phase disorder, sleep disorders in children and pre- and post-surgery anxiety.
L-theanine. An amino acid, L-theanine may promote relaxation when supplemented in high doses.
5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP). This naturally occurring chemical is often used to treat depression and may help alleviate insomnia and anxiety.
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). A common neurotransmitter, GABA may help with sleep and anxiety when taken as a supplement.
Hops. The extract of this dried plant might help with anxiety, sleep disorders and restlessness.
Ashwagandha. A shrub often known as an adaptogen, ashwagandha has been shown to relieve stress and swelling, lower blood pressure and aid the immune system in some individuals.
Chamomile. This herbal flower may help alleviate sleeplessness, anxiety and gastrointestinal issues.
Lemon balm. Another herb used in natural sleep aids, lemon balm may have antioxidant properties.
Passionflower. This vine may help to improve symptoms of anxiety, sleep problems, pain and/or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Valerian root. A plant native to Europe and Asia, valerian root may help alleviate insomnia, anxiety and depression.
Terpenes. These naturally occurring compounds found in plants serve as the building blocks of many essential oils. These can impact the way a plant smells.
