Why We Put Magnesium in Hot Chocolate

If you've ever wondered why our Chillax hot chocolate has a purple pouch and a cult following, the answer is one word: magnesium.

The Mineral Your Day Quietly Spends

Magnesium is involved in hundreds of processes in the body, from muscle function to the nervous system. It's also a mineral that busy lives tend to draw down. Stress, training, caffeine and long days all play a part, and many Australians don't get the recommended amount from diet alone.

That's exactly the kind of problem Brewdy was created to help with. Our founder Tom spent years in physiotherapy and sports science watching the same pattern: it's rarely the big dramatic things that shape how we feel, it's the small daily ones. So instead of adding another supplement to remember, we built the good stuff into a ritual you already love.

Why Hot Chocolate?

Evenings needed something special. Coffee late in the day isn't for everyone, but nearly everyone has a wind-down ritual, and warm chocolate is one of the oldest and best. Chillax blends rich organic cocoa with marine grade magnesium, premium bovine collagen and calming chamomile, sweetened naturally with organic stevia — no refined sugar. It tastes like a treat and works like a ritual: a warm cup that tells your body the day is done.

What's Actually in the Cup?

Beyond magnesium and cocoa, Chillax includes chamomile — traditionally used to help you unwind before bed — and a dose of premium collagen to support your skin's overnight repair. It's also 100% caffeine-free, dairy-free and gluten-free, so it's a gentle option even close to bedtime.

Chillax vs. a Separate Magnesium Supplement

• A magnesium supplement: one more capsule or powder to remember, usually on its own.
• Chillax: the same magnesium, built into an evening ritual you actually look forward to, alongside chamomile and collagen.
• Effort: none extra — it replaces a cup you might already be having, rather than adding a new step.

Is Chillax Right for You?

Chillax is dairy-free, gluten-free and caffeine-free, which makes it suitable for most evening routines. Two things worth knowing: it contains bovine collagen, so it isn't suitable for vegans or vegetarians — if that's you, Magnesium Chai gives you the same magnesium-forward wind-down in a vegan-friendly chai. And as with any new supplement, check with your doctor first if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing a medical condition.

Making the Most of Your Wind-Down

A few things pair beautifully with an evening cup:

• Dim the lights an hour before bed. Bright light late in the evening works against your natural rhythm.
• Park the phone. Even ten screen-free minutes makes the cup taste better. We're sure of it.
• Keep it consistent. Rituals work because they repeat. Same time, same mug, same exhale.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I drink Chillax every night?
Yes — it's designed as a nightly ritual, and being caffeine-free means it won't interfere with sleep the way a late coffee might.

Is Chillax vegan?
No — it contains premium bovine collagen. For a vegan-friendly, magnesium-forward wind-down, try Magnesium Chai instead.

What's the difference between Chillax and Magnesium Chai?
Both are built around magnesium for an evening wind-down. Chillax is a cocoa hot chocolate with added collagen; Magnesium Chai is a dairy-free, vegan spiced chai — same purpose, different flavour and dietary fit.

Does Chillax have any caffeine at all?
No — it's 100% caffeine-free, so it's genuinely suited to an evening routine.

Prefer chai? Our Magnesium Chai brings the same wind-down thinking with warming spices instead of cocoa. And if caffeine-free is your whole evening brief, the Caffeine-Free collection or Evening Ritual collection has you covered.

Small cup, small habit, better evenings. That's the whole idea.
