NightLight Mushroom Cacao Mix - Sleep Support with Magnesium & Mushrooms, 14 Servings

Delicious and helpful for relaxation

I wanted to love this. Bought it to try to relax after my night shift to help sleeping in the day.It mixes really well with warm water.  The smell is not pleasant to me, and I had a hard time even taking the first sip because of that. I do have strong smell aversions, so it might not be as bad for others.The flavor is OK. Not offputting, but not great either.  I felt like I could get it down, but I was not enjoying it. Not sure if I will try it again.

This drink tastes good. Its a good hot cocoa but without sugar. If you like sweet drink, this is not for you. It mixes well no clumpse. Its also really creamy and rich. I felt like it helped me go to sleep fast.

I was very hopeful for this NightLight Mushroom Cacao Mix Bedtime Drink. However after a week of using it nightly, the results are very mixed. I don't find it to be helpful with my sleep. It is yummy and relaxing, but doesn't seem to help me sleep. It does put me in a relaxed state in the hour leading up to sleep, but once I'm in bed, it makes me feel a bit bloated and uncomfortable. It mixes very poorly hand mixing in either water or milk. I personally recommend mixing it in milk. It tastes better with milk than it does with water.

Everyone’s bodies are different, and I find that herbal supplements such as this sometimes take a few tries to see if they will work for you. I tried this for three nights, and it didn’t work for me, but that doesn’t mean it is necessarily bad.First, there’s the taste. I mixed it with hot water. The powder dissolved nicely (it didn’t clump at all), but left me with a very unappetizing dark brown concoction that looked like coffee that had been overcooked for a few hours. But being dedicated to the reviewer’s creed (“You ordered it, so you at least have to try it” — okay, I made sup that creed), I persevered. The taste was a rather chalky, but mostly it tasted like very dark, bitter sipping cocoa with an aftertaste of coffee grounds. (You would never mistake his for hot chocolate.) I am not a fan of bitter chocolate, but that’s a personal preference so it would be unfair to lower the rating for that. I did manage to sip an entire cup a few nights and it didn’t make me gag; I just didn’t enjoy it. Again, however, someone who likes dark, bitter chocolate might feel differently.Most important was the question of whether I felt the “sleep support and recovery” touted by the product page. Sadly, I didn’t. While any hot drink will typically relax you a bit, I didn’t find that this powder made any difference at all in my level or quality of sleep.At the very expensive price ($26.99 at time of order for 14 servings), I would not order this again based on the taste (again, personal preference) but mostly because it didn’t help me sleep.As another reviewer noted, this product arrives in a resealable pouch with an enclosed scoop, not in 14 individual packets. Unfortunately, the first time I opened the pouch, one of the plastic seals separated from one side, so it wasn’t even resealable. I had to put the entire packet into a ziplock bag.Herbal sleep remedies are hit and miss. This one was a miss for me in both taste and effectiveness, but others might have different results.3 stars.
