Night Time Superfoods Hot Cocoa

Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
The cellular mechanism focuses on sensory signaling rather than heavy sedation. Cocoa Flavoring triggers olfactory and gustatory receptors, signaling the brain to initiate the parasympathetic 'rest and digest' state. Monk Fruit Extract provides sweetness without spiking blood glucose, preventing insulin-mediated wakefulness. Sea Salt supplies trace electrolytes like Potassium, aiding nerve transmission and muscle relaxation. This blend supports the body's natural circadian rhythm by creating a calming pre-sleep ritual.
