The Functional Chocolate Company has expanded its presence through gaining a key listing with major retailer Target, and its associated online stores, reports Neill Barston.
As the US-based business noted, it pairs naturally vegan and gluten-free, decadent dark chocolate with a proprietary blend of condition-specific nutraceuticals, including vitamins, minerals, botanicals and amino acids.
These unique combinations address a wide range of everyday health concerns, including sleep, energy, stress, focus and much more, which has seen an upturn in demand for its ranges.
“We created Functional Chocolate to offer a better way to care for everyday health realities,” said Nicole Smith, CEO, The Functional Chocolate Company. “We’re so pleased to work with Target to make every day a little sweeter, conveniently offering our products in-store and online for the growing community of wellness-focused customers seeking more for their dollars and from their indulgences.”
Target has initially introduced a curated selection of The Functional Chocolate Company’s most sought-after products including: Energy Chocolate, Sleepy Chocolate, and Carefree Chocolate for Stress and Anxiety.
In terms of its origins, Chris Peruzzi, co-founder, and dedicated single dad, formulated the first Functional Chocolate products as a fun, effective way to care for his kids’ everyday health realities, including his daughter’s debilitating PMS symptoms and son’s stress and anxiety.
Recognising that no one wants another bitter pill to swallow, he created the most effective solution possible while also being the most enjoyable. Today, The Functional Chocolate Company makes every day a little better for customers nationwide with condition-specific blends of powerful botanicals and scientifically validated ingredients – in ethically sourced decadent dark chocolate.
Furthermore, the naturally vegan and gluten-free chocolate bars address some of the most common health realities; from sleep to energy, focus and stress, to women’s health concerns including PMS, menopause and low libido.
