Health-conscious consumers, especially those with a sweet tooth, have become interested in functional chocolates over the past few years. Although chocolate was formerly seen as an indulgent treat, it is being reshaped in the minds of consumers as a beneficial addition to a diet, especially when it is packed with ingredients to boost various aspects of one's health.
Gutsii sets itself apart with prebiotic chocolate bars that offer a fresh and fun new take on digestive health. The vegan-friendly "sexy dark Swiss" chocolate bars are offered in flavors like Raspberry Rhapsody, Mint Puffdaddii and Pinksalt Floyd Rocks. As with all of Gutsii's products, these functional prebiotic chocolates that were exhibited at Natural Products Expo West are low in carbs, keto-friendly and free from added sugars.
