Flavour + Texture = Hot Chocolate
Bedtime Hot Chocolate is designed to be used as a hot drink, like cocoa before bedtime.
A new format, conveniently presented, so you don't have to take capsules or powders with unpleasant flavours.
It couldn't be easier to make!
Just add 150ml of hot milk to a glass or cup; we recommend heating the milk before adding the product so as not to adversely affect its solubility.
Add a scoop of delicious Bedtime Hot Chocolate and stir until fully integrated.
We have developed an incredible product backed by months of research into the best combination of ingredients to achieve its authentic hot chocolate taste.
Enjoy the taste and texture of real hot chocolate. With all the effectiveness of the composition backed by research and HSN.
With plant fermentation amino acids
The tryptophan in the Bedtime Hot Chocolate formula comes from plant sources.
Most of the amino acids on the market come from animal sources, including the fur of certain mammals, and even from bone or cartilage tissue.
At HSN, we prefer to use vegan amino acids, which also have maximum effectiveness and allow vegetarians to take our product.
We are committed to the suitability of each and every one of the food supplements we sell, for vegetarians and other dietary choices, so the choice of our ingredients is always based on:
Effectiveness + Safety + Compatibility = HSN Quality.
So, why is it not vegan?
To achieve the perfect hot chocolate texture, and to ensure the product has a genuinely unbeatable composition, we've used powdered milk cream.
This gives it a truly unrivalled texture, like real hot chocolate. You'll love it!
Milk is an animal derivative, suitable for vegetarians but not for vegans. That's why the product isn't suitable for vegan diets.
And HSN's recipe is a game changer. Try it once and you'll never look back, not to mention get the best rest you've had in years.
It has excellent solubility
Bedtime Hot Chocolate has 10/10 solubility.
Many powder-format dietary supplements fail to mix and leave lumps in your drinks. They're suspended in water, and while this may be acceptable in ingredients such as pure magnesium, when we want to both enjoy the supplement as well as reap the benefits, it's not enough.
Well, don't worry! At HSN, we've developed a formula that mixes 100% for the best results. You won't get a sandy texture or any traces of unmixed supplements.
Enjoy the full flavour + texture of hot chocolate!
Why buy Bedtime Hot Chocolate by HSN over other options?
Are you bored of taking capsules and tablets? We get that. And we bring you the solution:
The most unique format of an already excellent food supplement!
The most rapid melatonin: Immediate release
We've used immediate absorption Melatonin to maximise the acute effects of the product so that you can make the most of its benefits as quickly as possible.
Simply enjoy your hot chocolate and rest!
You can also check out our prolonged-release Melatonin-based product catalogue, including our delicious strawberry and cream-flavoured chewable tablets made with Melotime™.
In this product, the melatonin used is immediately absorbed as, according to nutritional studies, its peak effect occurs 50 minutes after consumption, making it perfect for you to enjoy your Hot Chocolate while reading in bed, or after dinner so that the peak effect of melatonin occurs just in time to help you fall fast asleep.
Why drink our Bedtime Hot Chocolate?
Our Hot Chocolate is an exclusive HSN format, in a unique presentation.
Don't look for it elsewhere, because you won't find it!
L-Theanine from green tea
Theanine is an amino acid found in green tea leaves, and there's a large body of scientific research that points to its effects in relation to night-time use. For example:
- Kim, S., Jo, K., Hong, K. B., Han, S. H., & Suh, H. J. (2019). GABA and l-theanine mixture decreases sleep latency and improves NREM sleep. Pharmaceutical Biology, 57(1), 65–73.
The study above highlights the importance of the combination of amino acids, such as L-Theanine and GABA, in making our Bedtime Hot Chocolate formula the best possible product for rest.
Not all theanines are the same! And the natural theanine in green tea is the amino acid actually backed by scientific studies and safety tests. Not synthetic theanine!
At HSN, we use authentic, pure L-Theanine from natural green tea.
With Griffonia, rich in 5-HTP
Griffonia simplicifolia is a plant native to Africa, which has seeds rich in a highly-valued amino acid: 5-Hydroxy-L-Tryptophan (5-HTP).
This tryptophan derivative is unique to Griffonia and is widely used at night for its nutritional characteristics.
It contains Melatonin
Our Bedtime Hot Chocolate wouldn't be complete without melatonin!
Melatonin has powerful rest-enhancing properties, such as:
- It contributes to alleviating the feeling of jet lag.1
- It contributes to reducing the time it takes to fall asleep.2
It has been studied widely for its positive effects on sleep. It might be the ingredient with the most scientific research in this aspect.
With minerals
Each serving of our hot chocolate provides you with:
- 200mg of elemental magnesium (magnesium citrate).
- 3mg of zinc (zinc citrate).
Magnesium contributes to normal nervous system function.
How to take Bedtime Hot Chocolate?
The product is best mixed in milk or plant-based drink, as it looks more like a real hot chocolate, although if you're in a cutting stage you can mix it with water.
Expert tip!
Ideally, this product should be used 30-60 minutes before going to bed, as this is the best way to achieve maximum effectiveness by matching the peak of activity with the time you fall asleep.
