Why this supports your day
Pumpkin seeds are naturally rich in magnesium, which may support muscle relaxation as part of a balanced diet. Dried tart cherries retain some of the melatonin precursor compounds found in fresh tart cherries. Dark chocolate (70% or above) contributes antioxidants and magnesium. This is a simple, whole-food snack — not a sleep remedy.
