Title	Description	Image
Cacao	Raw cacao is a delicious way to add antioxidants, plant iron, magnesium and even some calcium to your diet. It can help to improve your mood by interacting with different neurotransmitters in your body that make you feel good. Specifically the amino acid tryptophan found in raw, unprocessed cacao is a precursor to the feel good hormone serotonin which is involved in mood regulation and further needed for your body to product the sleep hormone melatonin.  Cacao also contains magnesium, a mineral that helps you calm down and relax, making it a helpful mineral to support a restful sleep.
Nexba Mixed Berry Kombucha	With real oolong tea leaves and living SCOBY, our ‘booch brews the old-school way for a whopping 40 days to really ramp up your juicy flavour. And our unique strain of 500 million probiotics in each and every bottle are the best in the business. Specially built to survive the journey from mouth to gut, you can trust that our crafted kombucha will fiercely champion your gut health.
Almond Meal	Almond meal is a nutrient dense flour alternative that's rich in healthy fats, plant protein and vitamin E. A low carb flour alternative like almond meal is great for keeping blood sugar levels balanced without spikes, especially before bed time. It is also great for healthy gluten free baking.  Almonds are a source of melatonin (a hormone that helps regulate the sleeping and waking cycle) as well as minerals magnesium and calcium that promote muscle relaxation and sleep.
