Your hot chocolate before bed
Deep Sleep Hot Chocolate from EssentialSeries is a powder supplement with sweetener, developed to prepare a hot, creamy drink with an authentic chocolate taste, designed to accompany your nightly routine.
It’s not a capsule, not an infusion, and not traditional cocoa. It’s a different way to take melatonin: delicious, more pleasant and easier to turn into a habit. We prepared it as a hot chocolate, enjoy it slowly, and integrate it into that time of day when you feel like slowing down.
Enjoy an authentic hot chocolate, with a formula designed for your before-bed routine.
Its formula combines melatonin, selected amino acids, GABA, L-theanine, magnesium as citrate, zinc as citrate, and Griffonia simplicifolia seed extract standardized to 25% 5-HTP.
What makes it different: formula, taste and habit
The big difference of Deep Sleep Hot Chocolate is that it turns taking a dietary supplement into a unique moment. Many products aimed at the nightly routine come in capsules or tablets. Here we’ve gone another route: a hot chocolate drink with cocoa, body, creaminess, and an experience equivalent to drinking a mug of chocolate.
Melatonin helps shorten the time needed to fall asleep. In this product we’ve included it in a more complete formula, with nutritionally interesting ingredients and a delicious recipe so you’re looking forward every day to nightfall for taking it.
The result is a clear composition, standardized extracts, well-chosen mineral forms, and a use experience that fits real life. Because the best formula also needs to be easy to take and tasty.
Quality of the raw material: transparency from the source
When we talk about a formula with plant extracts, amino acids, and minerals, quality isn’t just about “having lots of ingredients,” but how they’re selected and how their quality is standardized. That’s why in this hot chocolate we include Griffonia simplicifolia seed extract with a 15:1 ratio and standardized to 25% 5-HTP.
This means we don’t just say “with Griffonia”: we indicate the part used, the extract type, its concentration, and the standardized 5-HTP contribution. It’s an easy way to know exactly what you’re taking and to differentiate this quality formula from other products where these details aren’t always specified.
We’ve also used magnesium and zinc as citrate for their good integration into all kinds of formulas. Magnesium supports normal function of the nervous system, ideal to complement the nightly experience.
Two formulas for different purchase moments
Deep Sleep Hot Chocolate is available in several formats, and it’s worth understanding them well to choose what fits you best. All keep the product’s essence: a hot drink with melatonin, chocolate flavor, Griffonia simplicifolia extract, magnesium, zinc, and a formula designed for the nightly routine.
Format 150 g: ideal to try the concept
The 150 g format is a very interesting option for a first purchase. It’s perfect if you want to discover the flavor, texture, and usage method before moving to the large format. It also works great as a gift option or for those who prefer starting with a smaller container to see how it fits into their nightly routine.
Format 500 g: the option for a regular routine
The 500 g format is the most interesting option for those who already know they want to incorporate it regularly at home. It provides more product and longer-lasting container life.
Stick format: your hot chocolate, dosed and ready to go
The stick format takes the convenience one step further. It’s an individual, sealed, and practical single-dose: you open, mix, and done.
We especially like it for travel, getaways, nights away from home, shifts, or simply to have it on the nightstand without taking up space. It’s also a very convenient way to try the product before choosing the large format.
Plus, the stick format lets you take advantage of the melatonin travel focus: melatonin helps relieve the subjective experience of jet lag. A simple way to carry your nightly routine with you, even when you move places or schedules.
Flavor and texture: the key value that makes you want to drink it
One of the product’s keys is the experience. The cocoa powder provides that authentic hot chocolate flavor, while the milk powder helps achieve a creamier, more authentic texture. Xanthan gum improves the drink’s body, and the use of flavors and sucralose keeps a sweet profile without adding table sugar to the recipe.
We made this choice so the product feels like real hot chocolate, since texture matters. That’s why it’s not a vegan product, as it contains milk powder, but it is suitable for vegetarians. In this case, using this ingredient responds to a clear need: a creamier and more delicious drink.
No table sugar in the recipe
Hot chocolate is usually associated with a sweet, rich, comforting drink, but also with sugar-containing preparations. In Deep Sleep Hot Chocolate we’ve kept a sweet and pleasant experience by using sucralose as a sweetener, without table sugar as an ingredient.
This makes it an alternative to traditional soluble cocoa or conventional hot chocolate for those who watch their sugar intake or prefer a nightly routine more aligned with their habits.
Who it’s for
Deep Sleep Hot Chocolate can fit very well for people who already use melatonin and want a more pleasant way to take it; for those who don’t enjoy capsules or tablets; and for consumers who prefer a nightly routine with a delicious experience.
It’s also an interesting option for those who usually have evening infusions but are looking for a sweeter, chocolate-flavored alternative. The stick format also makes it especially convenient for people who travel, sleep away from home, or want an easy individual serving to carry around.
If you’re a person who checks product composition, you’ll also find interesting points: standardized Griffonia simplicifolia extract, plant-based fermentation amino acids, magnesium and zinc as citrate, a complete, high-quality formula.
How to fit it into your routine
The most pleasant way to take it is to prepare it as a hot drink, mixing with milk or plant-based milk to get a texture closer to traditional hot chocolate. It can also be prepared with water if you want a lighter option, though plant milk or regular milk enhances the creamy sensation.
The idea is to reserve it for the end of the day, after dinner, when you’ve slowed down and want to create a repeatable moment before sleep. Prepare it, stir, and sip slowly to build an easy, pleasant, and sustainable routine.
The 150 g format is perfect to start. The 500 g is the most convenient for regular use at home. And the stick is the most practical format for travel, taking it with you, or keeping a single serving ready to hand.
Related products to complete your routine
This supplement is already a complete formula, so you don’t need to combine it with many ingredients at once. Still, there are related products that can fit depending on your preferences, your favorite format, or the type of routine you want to build.
