RYZE Mushroom Hot Cocoa with Melatonin, Reishi & L-Theanine, 20 Servings

I was completely skeptical at first. I had been looking at Ryze for months, but never ordered it because of all the bad reviews. Finally I decided to just take a chance and ordered the coffee, creamer, and matcha set, then the cocoa and chai ones as well. WOW!! I was amazed. No, I’m not getting paid to say that, no I didn’t get this for free or even at a discount. I just truly was amazed. For the record, I HATE mushrooms. It is the one food I absolutely will not eat, but I also deal with a lot of bloating, low energy levels, trouble focusing, and alcohol dependency. I was willing to try just about anything to help with those issues. Also, it should be noted that I have a deep appreciation for things like dark, black coffee, herbal teas, and matcha. All that being said, LOVE the flavor of all three of these!!! I have been drinking them for nearly a month now and I have noticed an increase in energy that is also sustained through my entire night shift job. My mental clarity and focus have improved as has my outlook in general. I feel so much better!! I have been drinking three cups of this a day. I have one with the coffee and creamer, then I have one with the matcha. When I get home from work, instead of reaching for a beer, I make one of the hot cocoa Ryze. While I have not noticed a weight loss or significant reduction in bloating, I have noticed a huge decrease in my alcohol consumption. The cravings for beer are almost completely gone. I have gone from drinking five 12 packs of beer a week to just one 12 pack. I hope to be able to completely stop drinking alcohol. A couple of things to keep in mind if you are thinking about trying this: 1) of you like frilly Starbucks style coffee with enough syrup, sugar, and creamer to put you in a diabetic coma, YOU WILL NOT LIKE THIS. 2) if you like black coffee and teas with little to no sugar, YOU WILL PROBABLY LOVE THIS. 3) when making it, use a measuring spoon, not the cute little wooden stirring spoon they send you. The recommended amount is 1 tablespoon, not 1 stirring spoon. If you use the cute little spoon they send instead of a real measuring tablespoon, it will taste incredibly watered down and nasty. Make sure you are using a full tablespoon. 4) DO NOT microwave any of these products!!!!!!!!! Put the tablespoon of powder in a cup and pour hot water over it!! If you microwave the powder it destroys the flavor!!!!! 5) keep stirring as you drink!! I only use a spoon to stir the drink, but I stir it each time before I take a sip. This keeps any residue from settling at the bottom of the cup and leaving the “sludge” that so many reviews mention. All of this being said, I find the flavors of all of these to be very delicious and relaxing. I do add extra cocoa powder and Splenda to the hot cocoa one, but that is the only one I add anything to. I know these are expensive, but the improvements in my health and wellbeing as well as the decrease in alcohol cravings make this worth every penny in my book. Each person’s journey will be different, but I highly recommend Ryze. Just remember, it takes more than one cup a day to get actual benefits, stir, stir, stir, stir, stir, and never ever microwave!!! I really hope this review helps anyone who might be on the fence or wondering if this is worth trying.

I have been using Ryze in general for about 5 weeks and I have been feeling much better. Less bloated, losing weight, more energy. I have been immensely pleased, so when reading about the Hot Cocoa, sure. Why not? I grabbed it. I have been only sleeping for 15-20 hours a week for the last 30+ years, and this stuff knocked me down quick for a little over 6 hours! I was very surprised. Tastes good, very little groggy feeling upon wake-up. I am a fan. This will become part of my weekend routine for sure.

I started a few months ago with Ryze Coffee and couldnt get used to the taste. Changed to Everyday Dose and love that they actually have a coffee extract so it tastes like coffee. Found out about Ryze Hot Chocolate Mushroom for sleep and thought it could work after reading the reviews. I am a very light sleeper and always tired even though my vitamins/nutrients are fine. My first cup of this chocolate was when I received it in the morning and felt sleepy all morning lol Took it at night and had a great night. You actually have a deeper sleep so you are able to rest! My 14 yrs old son is always tired in the morning and he also consumed it and loved it so much! He says he feels great like he actually slept. The only down side is the price! I cant spend around $100 a month for 2 ppl. Will maybe check another brands that also has natural melatonin in it because this one is amazing!

This does the job and does it very subtlely. I have a hard time settling down at night to get to sleep. Always have had this problem. This drink is a refreshing surprise because it calms you down and allows you to get in rest mode for a peaceful sleep. The cost was a bit expensive and took a chance and it was well worth it. Kudos to the makers. And it doesn't hurt that it tastes good also. I just add a bit of honey or a guava.

UPDATE: After writing my honest review, the company immediately reached out to me by email (I'm late in posting this) with a message and a full refund, which was unexpected and appreciated since I wasn't able to use the fairly expensive product. In my experience that's rare. I appreciated their response, and while the product didn't work for me, I hope it helps others. I’ve been an Amazon customer since the mid 90’s and I don’t do reviews. However, my experience with this product was so off from the hype that I had to review it. Obviously there are a lot of wonderful reviews here and elsewhere so it works for some, but I thought I’d share my experience , as it is negative overall. This is my experience over the past four nights. First it’s pretty effective in helping me relax and get to sleep. I also experienced remarkable amounts of deep sleep according to my Fitbit. That’s the great news! However it came at the expense of less time asleep overall (ie it exacerbated insomnia). I would fall asleep and 2 hrs later wake, sometimes I could get back to sleep only to rewake again, sometimes for up to 3 hours at a time. Even on the nights that I got good deep sleep (which thankfully comes almost as soon as I fall asleep) I still woke up feeling so tired I had to skip my gym time, which stinks as I’m a dedicated gym rat. Last night was the worst. No more. I’ll give Transparent Lab’s Rest and Recover a try next, and if that doesn’t work I’ll go back to Kill Switch, which worked pretty well but which I accidentally ran out of (oversight on my part) before my next subscribe and save order kicks in, which caused me to decide to try Ryze. Your experience may not be like mine, but when I clicked on the one star reviews I saw many others with similar experiences related to waking up and being awake for hours. After doing a lot of research on glycine, a primary ingredient in there formula, it appears, that while it does relax you and helps you fall asleep quickly, it can also cause insomnia in some people, So just be aware of that and do your research first. I hope this review helps.

Ryze Mushroom Hot Cocoa is a great tasting, great working and is a great product overall! I drink mine with sugar and a bit of whole milk. With in minutes, I can begin to feel it starting to relaxing me! Great product! So glad I found this cocoa!

I take melatonin regularly but still wake up a lot, so wanted to try something different. The taste is like chocolate water, but improved with the creamer packet sample. I slept very well! The calming effect was very gradual: like a slow warmth over me. It was nice. I woke up once but was able fall back asleep right away. That hasnt happened in a long time. But here’s the thing, I could not get up the next day. I was so very tired, dragging and sleeping past the time I would normally get up. I cant afford to be like that. I like the health benefits of the mushrooms, but with the cost, the taste requiring additional products to enhance the flavor and the grogginess the next day, I don’t know for sure if this will be a repeat purchase or continued use.

I love how it makes me relaxed after a long day. A bit pricey though.
