Your daily DOSE of vitamins
Juice for Gen and Raphael means more than just a tasty drink - their juices are organic and cold pressed in a way that every single bottle of DOSE juice gives you all of the nutrient and vitamins of the ingredients used. Thanks to their juicing technique, the machine used applies thousands of pounds of pressure to the fruits and veggies so that the nutrients stay intact and your body can easily absorb all it needs. Traditional juicers chop and grind, and as a result, some or most of the nutrients are lost in the process due to the heat created. This practice reduces the quality of the juice you get in the end. For Gen and Raphael, this isn’t an option, so they stick to their awesome Norwalk machine.
All of the veggies and fruits that go into the juices are organic. Gen and Raphael are super strict when it comes to choosing their ingredients. The couple is super proud of their organic certification. Their logic - if it’s not Ecocert organic certified, it’s not really organic. “Since we only use organic ingredients, it might happen that we temporarily suspend the production of one of our flavours due to a certain ingredient being unavailable in the organic section”, says Raphael. And they’re right, because, after all, you are what you eat…
Each juice has a simple list of ingredients. What you see on the list is what you get in your bottle - your daily DOSE of vitamins. “More than a growing variety of cold pressed juices, DOSE is a lifestyle: one that is health-conscious, transparent, full of life, and dedicated to making healthy choices easy” says Raphael. DOSE juices are more than just a bottle of a tasty, fresh juice, it’s your easy detox diet that can be incorporated into your routine without any necessary adjustments. This way, one small bottle of their juice is about five to eight portions of raw fruit, and let’s admit it, we don’t always choose to munch on a carrot or a stalk of celery at the office… so why not drink those raw veggies?
Gen and Raphael wanted to facilitate healthy lifestyle without any interruption to our modern lifestyle that allows very little free time - this is how DOSE was born. You can pop a multivitamin pill in the morning or you can choose to drink a bottle of your favourite DOSE juice and get all of the nutrients your body is craving (and can easily digest too.)
Right after their juices are cold pressed and bottled, they go into a cold water basin under 87,000 pounds of pressure per square inch, which gives their juices a 30-day shelf life. “Figuratively speaking, it’s pretty much like we take our juices to the bottom of the ocean for a few seconds and bring them back up – the intense pressure kills bad bacteria which usually cause the juice to go bad”, Raphael explains. So stock up on your healthy juices and discover your favourite flavours. Gen likes Yogi, Raphael prefers Samba, and I like Taxi. You can find your favourite too, check out what flavours they have, but keep in mind that DOSE juices have to be refrigerated at all times.
What’s next in store for the future of DOSE is to continue bringing high-quality juices in a sustainable way and, of course, bringing the daily DOSE to as many people across Canada as possible.
