Sand-M showcases new sleep & wellness innovations at THAIFEX 2025

Thailand’s Sand-M has made available its latest Handy Herb G’nite XS-sized nighttime gummy. This new functional gummy is crafted with three key ingredients in every pack:

  • Chamomile extract for relaxation
  • L-Carnitine to support metabolism
  • Zinc, which plays a role in the normal metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats

To enhance palatability, G’nite XS Gummy features a sweet and aromatic peach flavour with a soft, chewy texture. This guilt-free gummy contains no sugar. The recommended serving is two gummies before bedtime.

Available now at 7-Eleven stores nationwide or online.

The company advocates the concept that quality sleep enhances metabolism, emphasising its role in accelerating fat metabolism and stimulating growth hormone production, both of which contribute to maintaining a healthy physique.

Quality sleep plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels, helping to lower the risk of obesity and diabetes. Studies indicate that sleep deprivation negatively impacts metabolism, leading to insulin resistance, which makes it more difficult for the body to process sugar effectively. Additionally, research suggests that Reishi extract supports healthier sleep cycles, enhancing overall sleep quality.

Additionally, Handy Herb G’nite Beauti Shot is now in a fresh new look. The product combines collagen, glutathione and zinc, ingredients known for their role in skin renewal and overall health, providing targeted nourishment during sleep.

The formulation is enhanced with a strawberry and Kyoho grape aroma, offering an appealing flavour profile. Additionally, its sugar-free composition ensures a guilt-free consumption experience, making it suitable for health-conscious individuals. T

Priced at THB 25 per bottle, it remains an accessible choice for consumers, with availability at 7-Eleven stores nationwide and online platforms.

Following the success of its initial Thai flavour launch with mango in 2024, Sand-M expanded its Handy Herb G’nite Gummy lineup at THAIFEX – Anuga Asia 2025, unveiling two additional Thai-inspired flavours—coconut and mangosteen—further enriching its range of locally influenced offerings. Both products will be launched in Thailand in 2025.

These functional gummies are designed to support restful sleep and are formulated with key ingredients such as chamomile, red reishi mushroom and L-theanine, known for their relaxing and sleep-enhancing properties.

The company has introduced a new savers pack for the mango variant, featuring 15 small sachets (total 30 pieces), providing greater value and convenience for consumers.
