Ovaltine Sleep Calming Choc

Ovaltine Sleep Calming Choc is a specialized malted chocolate beverage powder enriched with magnesium, vitamins, and minerals, designed to support relaxation before sleep. This specific version is widely available in the Australian market and is marketed for its nutritional supplementary benefits.

The Ovaltine brand, originally known as Ovomaltine, was invented in 1904 by Swiss chemist Dr. Albert Wander in Bern, Switzerland. It was initially developed as a nutritional supplement to combat malnutrition. The name 'Ovaltine' resulted from a trademark registration error when the product was first exported to the United Kingdom in 1909, where the shorter name was adopted and subsequently carried over to many international markets.

While the brand has a rich global history with various owners, it is currently owned by Associated British Foods (ABF) in most of the world, including Australia, where it is managed by the subsidiary AB Food & Beverages Australia Pty. Ltd. In the United States, however, the rights to the brand are owned by Nestlé. This particular product sold in the Australian market is manufactured locally, often noted on packaging as being made in Australia from a combination of local and imported ingredients.
