Dose announced on May 1, 2026 a limited-time partnership with Juice Press to launch the Dose of Vitality smoothie, available at all Juice Press locations nationwide from May 1 through May 30, 2026. The smoothie incorporates a 2 oz shot of Dose for your Liver, Dose’s flagship liquid supplement formula, blended with mango, passionfruit, ginger, lemon juice, stevia, flax fiber, and finished with a coconut whipped cream swirl. A launch event runs at Juice Press’s Greenwich Ave location in New York City on May 2, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., including engraved shot glasses with purchase and members of Dose’s Scientific Advisory Board on site. Each smoothie includes a QR code offering 35% off a first purchase at dosedaily.co. Vasu Goyal, Founder of Dose, and Rob Mesika, Chief Operating Officer at Juice Press, are the spokespersons.
Dose is a clinically-backed supplement brand delivering liquid formulations targeting the body’s core health systems. Juice Press was founded in 2010 in New York City’s East Village, has grown from a single 1,800 sq. ft. storefront into one of the most prominent organic food and wellness companies in the U.S., and produces approximately 85% of its offerings in-house using 100% USDA Organic ingredients.
Dose for your Liver: The Functional Ingredient Architecture
The Dose for your Liver formula is the sourcing and ingredient story inside this announcement. The press release discloses two specific performance claims supported by clinical data: in a 3-month, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study, more than 80% of participants showed a positive impact on key liver enzyme markers (ALT, AST, ALP, and GGT) after consistent daily use, and 83% reported improvement in occasional bloating after 3 months.
The formula itself is described as delivering functional equivalent benefits comparable to 17 cold-pressed turmeric shots in a 2 oz serving. That comparison is a delivery efficiency claim, not an equivalency of ingredients. What it signals is a formula built around high-concentration botanical extract inputs rather than a whole-ingredient blending approach. Liver support supplement formulations at this functional claim level typically incorporate a combination of milk thistle extract (silymarin), artichoke leaf extract, dandelion root extract, N-acetyl cysteine, alpha-lipoic acid, and choline. The specific formula composition of Dose for your Liver is not fully disclosed in the press release, but the clinical study data and the liver enzyme marker improvement claims suggest a concentrated botanical extract formulation with documented hepatoprotective activity.
The liquid delivery format is a meaningful differentiator from capsule or tablet supplements. Liquid supplements bypass the disintegration and dissolution steps that can slow absorption of solid dosage forms. For botanical extract inputs that are already water-soluble (like silymarin glycosides from milk thistle), liquid delivery can provide faster and more complete absorption. For sourcing teams formulating liquid dietary supplements, the ingredient specification requirements differ from tablet or capsule programs: particle size, solubility, stability in aqueous solution, and flavor compatibility with the other smoothie ingredients (mango, passionfruit, ginger, lemon) are all specification considerations that do not apply to solid form supplements.
The Smoothie Ingredient Architecture: Functional Plus Flavor
The Dose of Vitality smoothie’s non-supplement ingredient profile is worth examining as a formulation in its own right. Mango and passionfruit provide the primary fruit flavor base. Ginger delivers a warming, anti-nausea functional note that complements the liver support positioning (ginger has documented digestive and anti-inflammatory properties at relevant doses). Lemon juice provides acidity and vitamin C. Stevia provides sweetness without added sugar. Flax fiber adds a soluble fiber component with additional digestive support credentials. The coconut whipped cream swirl adds a dairy-free fat and flavor finish.
This is a seven-component smoothie formula plus the 2 oz Dose shot, constructed to deliver a coherent flavor profile while stacking multiple functional benefit claims: liver support (Dose formula), digestive support (ginger, flax fiber, probiotic-adjacent positioning), anti-inflammatory notes (ginger, turmeric equivalency claim), and blood sugar moderation (stevia, fiber). For functional food ingredient suppliers, the smoothie’s construction is a real-world example of a multi-benefit beverage formulation built on functional botanical extracts, fruit purees, stevia, and plant-based fiber inputs in a fresh-prepared juice bar format.
Juice Press as a Functional Supplement Distribution Channel
The sourcing and commercial model story in this announcement extends beyond the ingredients. Juice Press’s disclosure that it produces approximately 85% of its offerings in-house using 100% USDA Organic ingredients is the context that makes this partnership structurally significant. A juice bar chain with that level of vertical integration and quality control is a meaningfully different foodservice partner for a supplement brand than a conventional cafe or QSR chain.
Juice Press’s existing strategic partnerships with Nutrafol, Dose, and Cowboy Colostrum are all premium supplement brands targeting different functional benefit categories: Nutrafol for hair health, Dose for liver and core system support, Cowboy Colostrum for gut and immune support. The pattern confirms that Juice Press has positioned its retail network as a functional supplement distribution channel, using the fresh-prepared smoothie format as the delivery vehicle for supplement brands that want to reach health-conscious consumers at the point of daily wellness ritual rather than through a pharmacy or supplement retail shelf.
For supplement ingredient manufacturers, this distribution model signals an emerging application channel for liquid supplement formulations: the fresh-prepared juice bar smoothie. The technical requirements for a supplement ingredient that goes into a fresh-blended smoothie differ from one going into a packaged beverage: stability at ambient temperature during blending, compatibility with acidic fruit juice bases, and flavor masking requirements are all distinct from a shelf-stable packaged supplement drink or a solid capsule form.
The Gut Health and Liver Wellness Macro Trend Context
The liver health supplement category is one of the fastest-growing segments within the functional food and supplement market in 2025 and 2026. Consumer awareness of liver health as a foundational wellness concern has grown substantially, driven by the intersection of alcohol consumption awareness, metabolic health discussions, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease prevalence, and the broader clean living movement. Dose’s clinical study data provides a level of evidentiary support that most liver supplement brands cannot match, and its partnership with Juice Press brings that clinical credibility into a mainstream daily wellness ritual channel rather than confining it to supplement retail.
This follows the same pattern we documented with Cleveland Kitchen’s Walmart expansion and Gerber’s sorghum reformulation: ingredient categories that have been developing in the specialty wellness channel for years reaching mainstream consumer access points in 2026. Liver health supplements are at the same inflection point in 2026 that probiotic supplements reached around 2018 and adaptogens reached around 2022.
Why It Matters for Botanical Extract, Fruit Puree, and Functional Beverage Ingredient Suppliers
Dose’s Dose for your Liver formula entering fresh-prepared juice bar smoothie applications through the Juice Press partnership creates a new functional ingredient distribution channel for concentrated botanical liver support extract formulations at the liquid supplement specification required for blending compatibility with tropical fruit purees, ginger, citrus, stevia, and plant-based fiber inputs in a fresh-prepared beverage format at Juice Press’s 100% USDA Organic, in-house production standard across its national location network. For botanical extract suppliers serving the liquid dietary supplement segment, the Juice Press partnership demonstrates a new high-visibility application channel for clinically studied liver support extracts in a premium organic juice bar environment, creating a consumer exposure event for the functional ingredient category that supplement retail placement alone cannot deliver.
The mango and passionfruit puree inputs for the Dose of Vitality smoothie require fresh or frozen USDA Organic certified tropical fruit purees at the Brix and flavor concentration compatible with Juice Press’s 85% in-house production standard and 100% organic ingredient requirement, adding tropical fruit sourcing demand to Juice Press’s existing fresh produce and organic fruit procurement program for the duration of the May 1 through 30 limited-time offering. For organic tropical fruit puree suppliers and organic frozen fruit processors serving premium juice bar accounts, the Dose of Vitality’s one-month run creates a dedicated mango and passionfruit procurement event within Juice Press’s organic ingredient supply chain.
The flax fiber input in the Dose of Vitality smoothie adds a plant-based soluble fiber ingredient to the functional smoothie formulation, requiring ground flaxseed or flax fiber concentrate at the particle size and solubility specification for a blended fresh beverage application compatible with the liquid Dose supplement, fruit purees, and ginger inputs without creating a gritty or undesirable texture in the finished smoothie. For flax fiber and ground flaxseed suppliers serving fresh juice bar and functional beverage accounts, the Dose of Vitality smoothie represents an application within the premium organic juice bar segment where the fiber ingredient’s functional benefit claim (digestive support) is directly aligned with the product’s overall positioning, making the ingredient choice a sourcing decision with a direct commercial rationale rather than a generic fiber addition.
