Antioxidants & Polyphenols

The recipe is built around intensely coloured berries such as aronia, blackcurrant and cranberry, chosen for their distinctive flavour and naturally occurring plant compounds. The result is a tart, fruit-forward 60 ml shot. 

Polyphenols are a broad family of naturally occurring plant compounds found in fruits, berries, tea and many other foods. Different plants contain different polyphenol profiles, which is why dark berries are widely studied in nutrition science. 

Aronia, blackcurrant and cranberry make a true superberry combination. These deeply coloured berries are naturally rich in polyphenols and other plant compounds associated with their antioxidant properties. Rather than relying on a single berry, xdose brings three powerful Northern European berries together in one concentrated formula, creating a naturally intense source of berry polyphenols with a deep, distinctive flavour. We like to think of this combination as “Latvian Gold” — three remarkable berries, one powerful 60 ml shot. 

No. A berry-based functional shot is a food. Research into berries and plant compounds can be scientifically interesting, but that does not mean the drink is intended to prevent or treat disease. 

The profile is deliberately berry-led, with the natural acidity and astringency associated with dark berries. It is designed for consumers who prefer a more intense fruit taste rather than a soft, dessert-like drink.
