FloraWorks had the honor of presenting at the CB1, CB2 & Cannabinoid Drug Development Summit, Translating Novel Preclinical Research Into the Clinic in Boston last month. In the presentation and workshop, we explored the therapeutic potential of TruCBN™ (FloraWorks proprietary CBN-based ingredient) as a novel approach in sleep medicine. Our session, "CBN as a Candidate for Research in Sleep Medicine," provided insights into how TruCBN™ is positioned not only as an effective sleep aid but also as a future candidate for broader drug development opportunities. By targeting the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system, TruCBN™ offers significant potential for enhancing sleep quality and improving sleep onset without the psychoactive effects typical of other cannabinoids or melatonin. This may be particularly useful for consumers suffering from jet lag or other types of sleep disruption. We also moderated a lively discussion with the audience in a workshop following our presentation, where we reviewed preclinical findings, which support CBN's effects on improving sleep architecture, reducing arousal through orexin modulation, and ultimately enhancing both NREM and REM sleep. It was inspiring to engage with experts and pioneers in cannabinoid science who are pushing the boundaries of what phytocannabinoids can do for human health. As we move forward, I am optimistic about the future of cannabinoid-based therapies and the role TruCBN™ can play in providing natural, targeted solutions for sleep health. The science behind TruCBN™ is exciting, with a focus on delivering better, restorative sleep safely and effectively. Thank you to all who attended and to the organizers for making this conference such a dynamic platform for innovation. #CB1CB2Conference #TruCBN #SleepMedicine #CannabinoidScience #FloraWorks #Cannabinol #sleepscience Alleh Lindquist Micah Hogan Matthew Roberts, Ph.D., MBA Vaughn Hartung Audrey Bradshaw Sacha Webley

"Less than 1% of supplements in America have clinical evidence proving they outperform placebo.” 🌿 That’s what makes the recent feature in SupplySide Insights so meaningful—it highlights how rigorous clinical research is proving the effectiveness of cannabinoids for sleep, anxiety, and pain. At FloraWorks, we’re proud to contribute to this transformation. Our peer-reviewed study on TruCBN™ demonstrated that a 50mg dose significantly improves sleep quality, surpassing the efficacy of melatonin—all without notable side effects. This isn’t just about us—it’s about reshaping wellness with science-backed solutions that consumers can trust.

Had an incredible time at the Nutrition Capital Network's Fall Investor Meeting! Held on November 6-7, 2024 at the historic Golden Gate Club at the Presidio in San Francisco, this event was more than just a showcase—it was a convergence of visionaries and trailblazers in health, wellness, and nutrition. It was an honor to present FloraWorks’ groundbreaking product, TruCBN™, to a highly engaged network of investors. TruCBN™ is a clinically validated sleep aid that goes beyond melatonin, pioneering a new era in sleep health. Our research is opening doors to better sleep and advancements in neuroprotection and restorative wellness. Highlights from our presentation: ✨ Clinical validation studies show significant improvements in sleep quality ✨ Ongoing NDI certification sets the stage for a Q2 2025 mainstream launch ✨ Positioned as a trusted, natural alternative in a market lacking safe, effective solutions With FloraWorks financially sound and cash flow positive, we’re now seeking expansion capital to bring TruCBN™-based consumer products to life. The response at NCN was overwhelmingly positive, but finding the right investors to help us reshape the sleep aid dietary ingredient space is essential—and we will continue to explore other interests. The Presidio’s breathtaking setting was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when innovation meets opportunity. Thank you to NCN and everyone who made this event unforgettable. Let’s continue redefining wellness, one breakthrough at a time. If you’d like to learn more about TruCBN™ or FloraWorks, let’s connect! #Innovation #SleepHealth #Nutrition #Investing #FloraWorks #TruCBN

FloraWorks is at the intersection of two massive market opportunities: A $33b cannabinoid market and a $72b sleep aid market 🚀 We are thrilled to share that FloraWorks has been featured in NutraIngredients USA, a leading source of news and analysis for the global nutrition industry. Why does this matter? NutraIngredients USA is at the forefront of health and wellness trends, and being featured here underscores the growing importance of cannabinoids like TruCBN in mainstream CPG and wellness retail. TruCBN is not just another cannabinoid—it's the first clinically validated cannabinoid for sleep improvement, with promising pre-clinical results in neuroregeneration. Why does this matter to your brand? ✅ You Need Consumer Trust: 92% of consumers seek products with clinical validation because they trust scientific proof over mere advertising claims. ✅ You Want Expanded Sales Channels: Major retailers now require safety and efficacy studies, opening shelf space only for supplements with scientifically backed claims. ✅ You Require Validated Marketing Claims: FDA and FTC oversight requires transparent claims supported by validated clinical research. As more consumers demand natural, science-backed wellness solutions, TruCBN is positioned to bridge the gap between the more fringe cannabinoid products and the broader mainstream wellness market. We’re excited to lead the charge in bringing effective, natural solutions to consumers everywhere. Let’s connect to explore how TruCBN can enhance your product offerings and drive innovation in the wellness space. https://lnkd.in/ezmGxvwi #NutraIngredientsUSA #TruCBN #WellnessInnovation #CPG #NaturalProducts #Cannabinoids #RetailInnovation https://lnkd.in/eQ7YNd-4

Want to know more about the future of cannabis CPG? Check out the latest episode of The Dales Report, where our VP of Sales and Marketing Micah Hogan discusses the role minor cannabinoids have on edible products and industry trends! #CBN #TruCBN #THC #Cannabis #Hemp #CBG #CBC #THCv #Trends
Targeting specific product benefits is the future of cannabioid CPG, at least that's what we talked about on The Dales Report. My post yesterday demonstrated (based on brand market share) how market leaders are already winning with this marketing strategy with sleep products, but that is just the beginning. Forward thinking cannabis CPG companies are formulating minor cannabinoid and terpene blends to create products that: -Restore 🌲 -Refresh 🌴 -Energize 🏋♂️ -Calm 🏖 -Mellow 🌼 -Joyful 😎 Because it sells more!! Speak to the consumers needs. Make a great product. Teach budtenders how to talk about it. Consumers want recommendations. And if you're product lives up to the marketing you get CUSTOMER LOYALTY. Which is the only way to make it in this market. IMO Thanks to Shadd Dales and Jerry Griffin for having me on the show! #trends #CBN #THC #CBG #CBC #THCv #hemp https://lnkd.in/eXgTyhnc

CBN sales are on a 🚀 trajectory! Do you want to know what the next wave of cannabinoid sleep aid products is going to look like....? Find out here ---> https://lnkd.in/ezmGxvwi
People don’t believe me…. when I tell them that 30-35% of cannabis consumers cite sleep as their primary reason for purchasing cannabis So I’ll let the data speak for me. (2023 sales data pulled from Headset) 📊 In this two-part post, we will analyze the six largest edible companies by revenue to see what impact CBN sleep products have made to their bottom line. This will give you a good idea of consumer behavior and how big this market segment has gotten.... ...and let you come up with your own conclusion: Wana Brands Who launched their first CBN product at least a year later than all of the other companies on our list is, understandably, seeing the smallest impact to their overall revenue from these SKU's. Curiously, they are also the only brand on the list to include melatonin, in their original Fast Asleep formulation. (a whopping 10mg!) Kanha by Sunderstorm Inc. The first CBN SKU to hit the market way back in January of 2019, has stayed committed to their best selling Blue Raspberry 1:1:1 (THC:CBN:CBD). Not until the end of 2023 did they launch a new higher mg CBN formulation. (My guess, it’s will become their new best seller soon) Kiva Brands, Inc. Sleep products have been so successful for Kiva, that they have a dedicated Sleep Dream Team line up, that offers praise to CBN’s potent powers. With 17 SKUs, they top the list of CBN product offerings, but their top selling product is still their original 5:1 (THC:CBN). (I wonder what their next CBN product will be….?) These three brands combined for over $71 mil in CBN retail sales in 2023 and are all continuing to grow their sleep aid offering which consumers are happy to support. Still don’t believe me…..? Then my next post might as we take a closer look at the three brands that are making the most from their CBN sleep aid products.
