Designs for Health's Fx Chocolate is a range of chocolate supplements that help to provide a variety of functional benefits for focus, stress and a healthy inflammatory response. These chocolate supplements feature thoughtful ingredients and a delicious base to make it easier to get an extra boost in certain areas. The Fx Chocolate Dream, for example, combines three grams of melatonin with 5-HTP to help with rest and relaxation, while the [Fx Chocolate Superfood variety](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superfood-chocolates) is formulated to protect cells from free radical damage.

The Fx Chocolate Sunshine Essential Vitamins features 60% dark cacao and allulose to deliver the benefits of Vitamin D and K2. This product was recently recognized as a finalist in this year's [Natural Products Expo East NEXTY Awards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designs-for-health) in the Best New Supplement category.
