I was keen to try this as I have difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep through the night. It was simple to prepare, as you would any other hot chocolate. I added it to my milk frother and gave it a good stir before frothing. It mixes in quickly and easily without clumping. I was impressed by the flavour and it was sweet enough for my taste, though obviously sugar could be added if required. It did make a tasty creamy hot chocolate that was pleasant to drink before bed. I did find it easier to fall asleep and have had a better quality of sleep. The only negative is that the dose of magnesium upsets my stomach the next day. I’ve had to reduce this by using half the recommended dose plus topping it up with regular hot chocolate powder to allow my stomach to tolerate it. Good value for money to help gently fall asleep.

I can struggle with switching off the ‘noise’ at night, so magnesium has been a crucial part of my evening supplements for about a year now.This is a sweet take on a bedtime hot cocoa drink with added benefitsBelow are the key ingredients for me in each daily dose:Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) can help make serotonin and dopamine to lift your mood and reduce stress.Magnesium Bisglycinate can help promote calmness which aids with better sleep qualityL-Glycine can help you fall asleep faster and improve overall sleep efficiencyInulin can help stimulate the growth of good bacteria like Bifidobacterium and LactobacillusMCT oil can help support weight management and help boost mental focusMontmorency Cherry is a natural source of melatonin which can help regulate the sleep-wake cycleReishi Extract can help to promote relaxationLavender Flower Extract can help reduce anxiety and improve sleep qualityChamomile can help with reducing anxiety and an improved quality of sleep*Please Note: The benefits listed for each ingredient reflect my own general online research. This breakdown is intended for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.For the price, £36 (full list price at time of writing) taking 12g a day this works out at £1.20 per day for a for a 30-day supply which may look expensive at first glance, but when you consider the ingredients list, I do think that these offer decent value for money.I also like that the ingredients are ‘clean’ with no unnecessary fillers or binders.Some additional info on these from my own personal findings are below:I take this added to warm/hot-ish milk about an hour before bedtime and I found it to be most effective when taken on an empty stomach. It did help me switch off the noise in my head and my sleep has seemed better without any grogginess in the morningLike most supplements quality of ingredients and consistency in taking them regularly is key; to see any effectiveness/benefits you need to keep up with your regime, sometimes you may only notice the difference when you stop or switch brands.My review is based on my own experience and is NOT to be taken as medical advice, always do your own homework as different people can have different results.I like to keep my reviews short & sweet and straight to the pointIs it good value for money = YesWould I buy it again = YesWould I recommend it to a friend = YesIs it easy to use/set up = YesI hope you found my review helpful and informative.

I usually take magnesium bisglycinate before bed, mainly because I find it helpful for my leg cramps and I also have trouble with my sleep. I also absolutely love hot chocolate, so when I saw this one I thought it was pretty much the perfect combination for me.I made it with warm milk and really enjoyed the flavour. It isn't exactly the same as a normal sweet hot chocolate as there is a slightly different taste from all the added ingredients, but I actually like that it isn't overly sweet. It still feels like a proper treat at the end of the day.The powder does need a decent stir as I found a little settled at the bottom of the cup. Nothing major and it wasn't difficult to mix, but I gave it another stir before finishing it.It contains magnesium bisglycinate and vitamin B6, along with chamomile, lavender, Montmorency cherry and L glycine. There is also inulin, so there is quite a lot packed into this compared with an ordinary hot chocolate.For me, the nicest thing is that I'm getting my usual magnesium in a drink I genuinely look forward to having. I wouldn't say it suddenly makes me fall asleep, but having a warm chocolate drink before bed is certainly a much nicer way to wind down than taking another tablet.The 360g tub is a good size, although at £36 it is quite expensive compared with normal hot chocolate. For me, the fact that it combines the magnesium I already take with something I really enjoy makes the price easier to justify.If you like hot chocolate and already take magnesium, this is a lovely idea. I'm very happy with this one.

I ordered this drinking chocolate as I thought it might be an enjoyable way to take my daily magnesium.The powder arrived in a resealable pouch, which is very clearly labelled, giving the nutritional information, and simple directions how to prepare it. It is a fine powder, which disolves easily into hot milk, and it has a very pleasant taste, which had a mainly chocolate, with a hint of fruitiness to my palate, it was very enjoyable though.Overall it is a pleasant tasting, easily prepared drink, with a long list of potentially beneficial ingredients hidden in the chocolate flavor, so I am very pleased with it, and I'm more than happy to recommend it.

This is a really great quality blend for sleep support. It contains some excellent ingredients such as Magnesium Glycinate, Montmorency Cherry, L-Glycine, Reishi mushroom and Chamomile. It comes in an resealable pouch and contains approximately 30 servings; based on the recommended 12g daily serving. The best before date is 20 months after the date of purchase.The powder mixes well in water or milk without leaving behind any powdery residue. It has an unsweetened cocoa taste which I really enjoy. It is gentle on my stomach; I have not experienced any irritation or reflux. I appreciate that it contains natural ingredients and is free from fillers.I have not been taking it long enough to comment on results, but on first impressions I do think it has helped me feel a little more relaxed in the evening. It seems like an excellent quality supplement that packs a lot in! Plus I look forward to my evening hot cocoa. I think it is good value and would happily recommend it :)

I really enjoyed trying this Nightcap hot chocolate. It contains added vitamins and minerals, including magnesium, along with ingredients such as chamomile and lavender, making it feel more suited to a relaxing bedtime routine than a traditional hot chocolate.I prepared mine with semi-skimmed milk, and I found the flavour pleasant without being overly sweet. It doesn’t taste quite like a conventional sweetened hot chocolate, but I still found it very enjoyable and easily drank the whole cup.It did take a little while before I started feeling tired, but once the tiredness kicked in, I was ready for bed. I had a particularly good night’s sleep afterwards and didn’t experience the usual tossing and turning, although of course everyone’s experience will be different.One minor downside was that it didn’t completely dissolve into the milk, leaving a few small bits behind. This didn’t really affect my overall enjoyment, though, and it certainly wouldn’t put me off having it again.Overall, I thought it was a nice, calming drink to have before bed, with a pleasant flavour and a less sugary taste than traditional hot chocolate.

I picked this because I liked the idea of having magnesium in a hot chocolate rather than adding another tablet to my usual routine. It is a simple concept, and the drink format makes it feel less clinical than many supplement products.The 360 g pack is a useful point to consider. It is a larger format rather than a single serving sachet, although the total number of drinks will naturally depend on the stated portion. With this type of product, I pay more attention to the magnesium content per serving than to the overall pack weight.I would have welcomed more prominent information about the precise magnesium amount and the expected number of servings, as those details make comparison much easier. Overall, I find the format appealing and straightforward, but I see it primarily as a hot chocolate with magnesium included rather than expecting any immediate or dramatic result.

I got this magnesium nightcap from the MyOva store because I’ve been struggling to switch off at night and it’s really worked wonders for my bedtime routine.It tastes so yummy which is the best part so it does not feel like I am taking any medication so to speak. A proper comforting cocoa flavor without being sickly sweet or tasting artificial like some wellness drinks do. It mixes really smoothly into warm oat milk with no powdery lumps left at the bottom of the mug. The combination of magnesium with quality botanicals really helps calm those evening restless legs and quiets a racing mind after my stressful day.I've noticed I'm nodding off much faster and waking up feeling properly refreshed rather than groggy. It's rather effective as a gentle, natural sleep aid that feels like an indulgent evening treat. So, if like me, you're a fussy sleeper looking to unwind before bed, do grab this.

I did not like the container it came in; it's one of those sachets you tear open, but press to reseal.When I opened it, some of the chocolate powder had already escaped the inner resealable part and spilled over the counter. It's very fine and dusty and gets everywhere. A traditional screw-top jar would have been better. The resealable sachets can be fiddly to reseal; if you've left even a tiny gap, you could have chocolate powder inside the drawer or cupboard, and in all your things.It's made worse by the fact they don't stand up well by themselves, so an imperfect seal, and then the sachet falls over, and yes, you will have spillage.The instructions are to add a heaped tablespoon to hot or cold milk about 60 to 90 minutes before bed.One of the factors that causes me to have disturbed sleep is needing to get up for the bathroom, so I don't really like to drink anything past about six in the evening. That means I need to take this a lot earlier than instructed, well before bedtime.I took it at just gone six. Unfortunately, that was not early enough to escape the consequences. I went to bed at about 10, having emptied my bladder, but was still up again at midnight needing the loo. And a further twice during the night. At least once is normal for me - as for a lot of people growing older. But three times is particularly bad, and I can only think it's related to adding a "nighttime" drink - albeit four hours before bed.Unfortunately, I think it's going to be counter-productive to keep this in my routine. I couldn't even really assess whether it helped at all with sleep, because the effects are negated if you're up all night. Cocoa powder is potentially a mild diuretic, and another ingredient, montmorency cherry, is acidic. So despite being caffeine-free, I can't rule out that it might cause bladder irritation in sensitive individuals. Alternatively, perhaps it's just the act of taking 250 ml of liquid quite late in the day, and the same would happen with anything.It's a shame, as the taste is better than expected. I was especially concerned about any mushroomy notes, but don't think I can detect those. It does taste slightly different to regular chocolate, but if anything, a bit like chocolate cherry, which is not too surprising, with cherry as one of the ingredients. It is extremely sweet, which is a common issue with artificial sweeteners. They are much sweeter than sugar.I will probably still drink it, but definitely NOT as a nightcap. At £36, it's very expensive to drink as a regular hot chocolate for daytime, so for that reason alone, I wouldn't get it again.

There is 360g in the pouch, and it clearly states 30 servings (12g each time). I only take half the amount, since I use a lower amount of magnesium spray each morning so don't want to over supplement, but I use it with half the recommended amount of milk so still get the same flavour. My partner enjoys this also and he has the full 250ml with 12g of powder.We have a 'Bird and Blend' brand Magic Whisk, which heats and froths milk, so I mix 125ml of gluten free oat milk in there and then mix in the powder after. It mixes in cleanly and makes a delicious drink. It's not too sweet, unlike many hot chocolate drinks.I generally don't have too much trouble sleeping, but this does maybe help me to wind down a bit. I don't find that it's a drink that hits me hard in terms of suddenly feeling sleepy (unlike Trip magnesium drinks which make me immediately drowsy!) so it's fine to drink early evening and doesn't have to be right before bed.This is costly, but the quality is evident.

I'm truly enjoying this MyOva Magnesium Nightcap Hot Chocolate. It tastes really nice and feels more like a little treat than something you’re taking for a purpose. I like having a cup in the evening when I want to wind down and relax. It’s comforting, chocolatey and makes a lovely addition to my bedtime routine. Definitely something I’ll be keeping in the cupboard!

The hot chocolate format makes this MyOva Nightcap much more appealing than another tablet or capsule to remember before bed. Turning a supplement into a warm evening drink also fits naturally into a wind-down routine.In terms of effectiveness, magnesium contributes to normal nervous system and muscle function and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. I would view this as nutritional support rather than something that should instantly make you fall asleep, and any noticeable benefit is better judged with consistent use.The tub contains 360g of powder, which is a generous size. Unfortunately, the Amazon listing provided does not state the recommended serving size or number of servings, so it is difficult to say exactly how long one tub should last. I would check the label for the magnesium amount per serving as well.For duration, this is the type of product I would use regularly as part of an evening routine rather than expecting dramatic results from the first cup. The hot chocolate format certainly makes consistent use more enjoyable if you already like having a warm drink before bed.As for side effects, magnesium supplements can sometimes cause digestive discomfort or loose stools, depending on the form and amount used. It is therefore worth following the recommended serving rather than assuming more will provide better results.At £36 for 360g, this is definitely a premium hot chocolate supplement. The value will depend heavily on the number of servings and amount of magnesium provided in each one, information I would have liked to see more clearly on the listing.Overall, this is a really appealing way to incorporate magnesium into an evening routine, particularly if you prefer a comforting hot drink to capsules. The 360g tub is a good size, but clearer serving and magnesium dosage information would make the £36 price easier to judge.

Lovely. This hot chocolate blends easily and tastes comforting without being sickly sweet. It feels like a proper evening treat, smooth and warming, and I found it genuinely relaxing to drink before bed. No grittiness, no weird aftertaste, just a simple, pleasant cocoa that settles nicely. If you want something to take the edge off an evening and help you wind down, this fits the bill.Pros1. Smooth texture, no grit2. Pleasant, not overly sweet flavour3. Comforting and relaxing to drinkCons1. None to report

MyOva’s magnesium nightcap has become a firm staple in my evening routine over the past 30 days. I loved it so much that I ordered more immediately. I have noticed vast improvement in both sleep onset and duration. Finally, I wake up actually feeling rested! This is my favourite way to wind down, and to top it all off it’s delicious. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic chocolatey taste and really does help me to calm down ready for sleep. It’s now my go to evening drink hot or cold works.

From the first nightly dose of magnesium nightcap, I have been sleeping like a baby! Before, I would wake up almost every night at least several times (not even from anxiety or stress). But since I started taking magnesium nightcap, I sleep throughout the whole night, no interruptions at all. Not to mention, going to bed has felt a lot easier (I come alive at night); not a drowsy or lethargic feeling, just in a relaxed and good mood to go to bed. Also, it tastes delicious! Not that sweet but naturally sweetened - love that. Great as a summer evening milkshake. Cannot wait to try it hot during autumn and winter. Thank you so much for saving my sleep! Cannot express it enough x
