In terms of adaptogen effects, my favorite chocolate was Focus. I ate a square right before a 9 p.m. Scrabble game, and I actually did feel zoned into the game, which I almost won (my dad won in the last turn with a word that barely exists, not that I'm bitter or anything). I also tried taking it in the middle of a workday and felt more focused, even powering through my afternoon slump. The Energy chocolate gave me a similar recharging effect.
I tried the Tranquility chocolate after dinner, when I was still trying to relax after a stressful day at work. I felt myself winding down within a half hour, letting go of some of the anxiety and tension I was carrying around from the day. I also sampled a square closer to bedtime and felt the same chill, relaxing effect, and since this chocolate doesn't have caffeine, it didn't keep me up.
