New study offers hope for CBD and insomnia

It is nightmare where waking up is the problem … but a new study suggests that CBD could help

It is one of the most common health complaints in the modern world, now a new study offers hope for CBD and insomnia. A groundbreaking study in Australia sets up CBD (cannabidiol) as a potential new treatment.

The Avecho Biotechnology, based in Melbourne, launched the world's largest randomized, placebo-controlled CBD study against insomnia and inscribed more than 500 adults in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and the gold coast. The goal: to find out whether CBD, which is delivered in a new capsule form, can help people fall asleep faster, to sleep longer and wake up refreshed.

The numbers are amazing. 10 to 30 percent of adults experience insomnia worldwide and up to 15 percent live with chronic insomnia. In Australia, surveys show 60 percent of people at least one symptom of insomnia. Economists appreciate the Australian economy over the poor sleep drainage of more than 19 billion US dollars a year, with almost 11 billion US dollars lost productivity alone.

Existing treatments from melatonin up to prescription sleep aids can leave patients stunned or do not work well in the long term. For this reason, the Australian CBD sleep study attracts international attention.

The Avecho phase III study is designed with a strict on a pharmaceutical level. It is double -blind, placebo -controlled and randomized, which means that participants and researchers do not know who receives CBD against placebo. Volunteers will take capsules with 75 mg or 150 mg CBD per night for eight weeks.

The capsules use the AVECHO TPM delivery system (tocopherylphosphate mix), a vitamin -e -based technology that has the CBD absorption. A poor bioavailability has long been a weakness of CBD oils and rubbers – Avecho hopes that this will solve.

If the attempt is successful, Avecho could be the first company to register a over-the-counter CBD product for insomnia in Australia. It would put CBD directly on the pharmacy shelves that are available without a prescription.

For millions who have to deal with sleepless nights, this could be a medical and lifestyle game channel. Insomnia was associated with heart disease, depression, anxiety and reduced quality of life. With the demand for safe, non -related sleep aids, CBD could offer a natural alternative that is supported by hard science.

“This is the first large -scale test to determine whether CBD really works for sleep,” said Dr. Paul Gavin, CEO von Avecho, in an explanation. “We want to give the patient safe, effective and accessible options.”
