Over the past few years, consumers have come to know chocolate as not just a tasty treat, but a functional food that can deliver different benefits depending on the ingredients added to it. Some of the functional chocolate products previously released by Good Day Chocolate include ones for Calm, Energy and Sleep. Now, the brand is introducing an all-new supplement that is enriched with probiotics.
Each of the fair trade dark chocolate rounds are packed with a billion probiotic bacteria, offering a flavorful way to support good gut health. For ease of on-the-go eating, the functional chocolates are coated in a candy shell that gets its bright green coloring from fruits and vegetables. To maintain digestive health, Good Day Chocolate recommends eating four pieces per serving.
