The Gold Naturals Sleep Soft Gels deliver our same Sleep formula — CBD + CBN in three potency tiers — in a swallowable capsule format. Same cannabinoid profile as our Sleep tincture, no taste, no sublingual hold required, perfect for travel or for customers who simply prefer capsules to tinctures. PhD-formulated by Dr. Yaakov Waksman, made in Utah from American-grown hemp, CO2-extracted, lab tested by UDAF and APRC.

When to choose softgels over the tincture

The cannabinoids are identical between our Sleep tincture and Sleep softgels — same Light/Medium/Heavy potencies, same per-serving CBD and CBN amounts. The decision between formats comes down to three things:

Choose softgels when: you want a precise, repeatable dose with no taste, you're stacking CBD with morning vitamins or other supplements, you travel and don't want a glass dropper bottle, or you just dislike the sublingual hold step.

Choose the tincture when: you want fastest onset, you want dose flexibility (half-dropper for some nights, full for others), or you're plant-based / vegan and can't have gelatin.

Potency tiers

CBN scales with potency. The Medium and Heavy tiers hit the 10–20mg CBN/night range where research (Kolobaric 2024) shows CBN works consistently for sleep maintenance.

How to use Sleep Soft Gels

Take 1 capsule 45–90 minutes before you want to be asleep. Swallow with water; you don't need a sublingual hold like with the tincture.

Take with a small amount of fat (a handful of nuts, the last bites of dinner) for more consistent absorption. Cannabinoids are fat-soluble — empty-stomach dosing is less consistent.

Start with the Light tier if you've never used CBN before. Most adults find Medium is the sweet spot once they know they tolerate the formula.

What's inside

Per capsule (all tiers):

• Full-spectrum hemp extract (CBD + CBN per the tier above)
• Organic MCT oil (from coconuts) — carrier
• Vegetable glycerin
• Purified water
• Gelatin (capsule shell — animal-derived, not plant-based)

Bottle contains 100 capsules. At 1 capsule per night, that's a ~3-month supply per bottle.

Every batch tested by UDAF and APRC (Lehi, UT). Match batch numbers against the Sleep certificates of analysis.

On the gelatin

We use gelatin softgel shells because they preserve cannabinoid potency better than the plant-based alternatives currently on the market. Vegetable cellulose capsules can compromise the CBD/CBN content over the bottle's shelf life. If you're plant-based or vegan, the Sleep tincture is the right alternative — identical cannabinoid profile, plant-based MCT carrier, no gelatin.

• CO2-extracted, made in Utah, UDAF + APRC lab tested

Frequently asked questions

How is the softgel different from the Sleep tincture?

Same cannabinoid formula — same CBD and CBN amounts at each potency tier. The differences: softgels are swallowable with no taste and slower onset (45–90 min vs 15–30 min for the tincture); tinctures are sublingual, faster onset, and plant-based (softgels contain gelatin).

Can I take more than one capsule per night?

You can, but you usually don't need to. If one Light capsule isn't enough, step up to Medium rather than taking two Lights — the formula is designed for the per-capsule dose to be your serving.

Are these capsules vegan or vegetarian-friendly?

No. The capsule shell contains gelatin (animal-derived). If you need a plant-based alternative, use our Sleep tincture — same formula, plant-based MCT carrier.

Will Sleep softgels show up on a drug test?

Yes, potentially. Full-spectrum hemp contains trace Δ9 THC that can accumulate with heavy daily use. If you're employment-tested, use sparingly or use CBD isolate options.

How long does a 100-capsule bottle last?

At 1 capsule per night, ~3 months. Most customers use Sleep products as needed rather than nightly, so a bottle typically lasts longer in practice.

Can I take a Sleep softgel every night?

You can, but you usually don't need to. CBN works well as an as-needed tool for travel, stress weeks, or stretches of poor sleep. Using it as needed rather than nightly preserves effectiveness.
