The chocolate is made of the finest cocoa beans grown naturally in the African and South American rainforests and later blended with organic sugar, non-GMO soy-based lecithin and pure vanilla at a certified organic chocolate plant in Belgium. The premium chocolate is then shipped stateside and combined with efficacious levels of botanicals and subtle natural spices and seasonings to become Jimmy Schmidt’s SmartChocolate.

The first four blends include SmartChocolate Energy providing an energy boost with a blend of ginseng, guarana, goto kola, yerba mate and green tea. SmartChocolate Memory enhances brain functions with ginkgo, royal jelly and yerba mate. SmartChocolate Serenity offers a soothing effect from the combination of St. John’s Wort, ginseng and kava kava, and SmartChocolate Passion acts as an aphrodisiac through the affects of damiana, ginseng, sarsaparilla and gotu kola. Each bar contains the recommended daily efficacious level of botanicals.

In addition, the chocolate itself delivers benefits beyond the feelings of excitement and pleasure. It contains three times the flavonoid polyphenols as a glass of red wine. Polyphenols are antioxidant compounds believed to increase the activity of antioxidant enzymes that effectively detoxify the human body.

“SmartChocolate is for anyone with a natural craving for chocolate and a desire for the natural remedies botanicals provide,” said Schmidt. “Enjoy it daily for its exceptional flavor, silky texture and botanical punch to enhance personal wellness.”
