Good Day Chocolate to launch line of CBD chocolate

Varieties to become available in 2020 include Original, Sleep and Calm.

Chocolate supplements manufacturer Good Day Chocolate has launched a cannabidiol (CBD) product line that combines Fair Trade chocolate with pure, third party-tested, THC-free CBD in the form of broad-spectrum hemp extract, organically grown at farms in Oregon and Colorado.

The U.S. CBD industry is projected to surpass $20 billion by 2024, according to BDS Analytics and Arcview Market Research. Good Day Chocolate CBD products offer superior taste, and easy, controlled dosing with 10mg of hemp extract per piece, plus added supplements that provide sleep and calming support.

The line includes three varieties – Original CBD, Sleep CBD and Calm CBD. Original CBD is made with 70% Fair Trade dark chocolate and contains 10mg of CBD per piece. Sleep CBD is made with Fair Trade milk chocolate and contains 10mg of CBD plus 1mg of melatonin in each piece. Calm CBD is made with Fair Trade milk chocolate and contains 10mg of CBD plus 12.5mg of L-Theanine, a naturally occurring amino acid, per piece.

“We’ve always strived to make effective, truly functional products that surprise and delight consumers with a delicious taste,” said Simeon Margolis, co-founder and CEO of Good Day Chocolate. “This new line of CBD products clearly delivers on that same promise. Each of our three products aim to make the CBD experience more delicious than ever before and offer easily controlled 10mg dosing versus a tinctured oil dropper. We’re thrilled to take product innovation in the CBD category to the next level, making it more accessible and simply appealing.”

Good Day Chocolate’s CBD source uses a proprietary, patented technology to remove THC while retaining 94 percent CBD, terpenes and other beneficial cannabinoids that often contribute to the known “entourage effect,” which provides much more than purified CBD isolate due to the combined benefits of cannabinoids, terpenes and other beneficial plant ingredients.

The Good Day Chocolate Original CBD retails for $59.99 per bottle, while the Sleep and Calm CBD products cost $64.99 per bottle. One bottle contains 30 pieces, amounting to 300mg of CBD per bottle. The full CBD product line is currently available for purchase on Amazon and GoodDayChocolate.com. The products will launch in national retailers, where CBD is sold, in early 2020.
