Unwind Your Day with SYNCD™ Calming Hot Chocolate
In today’s fast-paced world, finding time to relax and unwind can be challenging. That’s why SYNCD™ has crafted the perfect evening treat to help you wind down — Calming Hot Chocolate. This blend of rich cocoa, creamy coconut milk powder, and powerful calming ingredients like magnesium glycinate, l-theanine, and passion flower helps ease the mind and prepare your body for restful sleep. Let’s dive into the science behind each ingredient and how it supports relaxation and sleep.
Cocoa
At the heart of our Calming Hot Chocolate is cocoa, a source of both flavor and relaxation. Cocoa contains theobromine, a natural compound that has mood-enhancing properties without the stimulating effects of caffeine. Studies show that cocoa can help lower stress levels and support a calm mind. In addition, the magnesium content in cocoa may help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation . Its rich, comforting taste makes it the perfect base for this calming evening ritual.
Coconut Milk Powder
The addition of coconut milk powder not only gives our hot chocolate a creamy texture but also brings health benefits that enhance relaxation. Coconut contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which help fuel the brain, potentially reducing mental fatigue. Coconut is also a natural source of magnesium, which plays a role in calming the nervous system. This combination allows for a soothing effect on the body, creating a perfect setting for rest and sleep .
Magnesium Glycinate
Magnesium is well-known for its ability to support sleep, and magnesium glycinate is one of the most bioavailable forms. Magnesium helps regulate neurotransmitters that affect sleep, including GABA, which is responsible for calming the nervous system. Research shows that magnesium supplementation can improve sleep quality and reduce symptoms of insomnia . By using magnesium glycinate in our formula, we ensure that your body gets the best support for relaxation and sleep.
L-Theanine
L-theanine, an amino acid found in tea leaves, is renowned for its ability to promote relaxation without causing drowsiness. It helps increase alpha brain wave activity, which is associated with a state of “wakeful relaxation.” L-theanine also works synergistically with magnesium, enhancing its calming effects on the mind. Studies show that L-theanine can reduce stress and anxiety levels, making it easier to fall asleep . This powerful ingredient ensures that your evening wind-down is peaceful and stress-free.
Passion Flower
Traditionally used as a herbal remedy for anxiety and sleep disorders, passion flower is a gentle yet effective aid for calming the nervous system. Passion flower works by increasing levels of GABA in the brain, similar to magnesium, which helps reduce brain activity and allows for a more restful sleep. Clinical studies have shown that passion flower can improve sleep quality, especially in individuals struggling with anxiety-induced insomnia . The addition of this calming herb in our blend rounds out the perfect recipe for relaxation.
SYNCD™ Calming Hot Chocolate combines these powerful ingredients to create a comforting evening drink that helps soothe your mind, relax your body, and prepare you for a restful night’s sleep. Enjoy a cup before bed and let the calming effects of each ingredient help you unwind from the day’s stresses.
