They also reported no significant differences in outcomes among those patients who consumed CBD and other cannabinoids concurrently versus those who consumed CBD alone. All CBD formulations “exhibited a favorable safety profile.”

The study’s authors concluded: “Most participants across all formulations experienced a clinically important improvement in their sleep quality. … Our findings suggest that chronic use of a low dose of CBD is safe and could improve sleep quality, though these effects do not exceed that of 5 mg melatonin.”

Other studies have previously shown that the administration of either CBD alone or the combined use of CBD și melatonină improves sleep quality in patients with insomnia. Ecological studies have reported a decline in the sales of…
