Consumers want a shot of wellness.

Daily dose. As supplement formats evolve, functional shots are rising alongside gummies, sachets, and liposomals — propelling the category from $6.6B in 2026 to $19B by 2033.

Wellness Shots Are becoming Big Business

Big shot. More convenient than pills and powders, single-dose wellness is also winning investors. Organic shot maker Sol-ti landed $30M+, Suja Life raised $187M in an IPO, and functional shot brand Dose is exploring a sale at a ~$1B valuation.

Bottoms up. Novel formulas, Magic Mind taps nootropics for focus, Ketone-IQ offers clean energy, Nomio brings broccoli into sports nutrition, Rally sells pickle juice for hydration, and Mel Robbins’ Pure Genius packs ~7g of protein per ounce.

Takeaway: As wellness gets more convenient, targeted, and ritualized, functional beverages could come in smaller packages.
