FAQ

Dose is a small, Montreal-based team that began introducing the city to their juices in the fall of 2013. The team itself consists of members from all professional backgrounds, but with a common passion for healthy living and entrepreneurship.

All of our juices, smoothies and shots are cold-pressed, which means that they are not heated, not heat pasteurized, nor chemically treated. By applying thousands of pounds of pressure, our cold-press juicer keeps all of the nutrients intact.

Heat pasteurization, no matter how “lovingly” or “gently” it is done, results in a juice that has been effectively heated (thus, cooked), killing essential vitamins, minerals, and live enzymes. At DOSE, we NEVER apply heat on any produce or juices.

Traditional blenders spin at extremely high speeds, extracting juice via blades that grind and chop. This process creates friction and heat which kills vitamins, minerals, and live enzymes. Our juices are made with a cold-press machine which is known to extract up to five times the amount of nutrients as most other juicers.

All of our produce is organic and raw, and we are working constantly with local farmers to bring in local produce. However it is not realistic to find organic pineapples in Canada…. YET

Yes. One cannot use the term organic on its labels if it is not certified. We have always used organic ingredients, but now we have the stamp of approval that we always do. We are proudly certified organic by Ecocert Canada ( USDA organic and Canada organic). Without that certification, a product is not guaranteed organic and you may be getting less for your money.

We are able to extend the shelf life of our sealed juices thanks to pressure without the use of any preservatives or additives. Immediately after each production, our juice bottles are put into a pool of cold water where thousands of pounds of pressure are applied for several seconds. Colorfully speaking, it’s as if we brought our juice bottles at the bottom of an ocean of 60 km deep – if there was such an ocean of course. This process seals the freshness and keeps the concentration of vitamins, enzymes, minerals and the delicious taste of raw fruits and vegetables. Our juices then retain up to 60 days of shelf life depending on the flavors as long as they are sealed and refrigerated. We guarantee a minimum of 20-30 days when you receive your juices. The expiry date is written on the bottle.

We guarantee a minimum of 60 days of shelf life for our wellness shots.

Once opened, the juices are to be drunk within 4 days but ideally when you open the juice, you want to drink it right away to maximize nutrient intake… Separation is a sign that no homogenizing agents were added and only natural ingredients were used. Shake well and enjoy.

Since there are fresh products, freezing our products could affect the quality o the nutrients they contain. The best way to store our products is to keep them in the refrigerator at all times until consumption. 

In addition, when a liquid freezes it expands. It could therefore cause leakage and loss of juice. If you still want to freeze your DOSE products, we suggest you pour them into an ice tray for a mess-free result. 

At DOSE, we only use FRESH organic fruits and vegetables to make our cold-pressed juices. The white deposit you  may notice in your bottles of Tango, Cactus, Yogi, Samba and our Ginger & Turmeric, Digestion and Energy shots is completely natural. It is the natural setting of cold-pressed ginger. Shake well and enjoy the taste of a delicious cold-pressed juice with a touch of ginger. 

It is one of the most common phenomena with freshly pressed juices, and it’s a sign that the juice you’re drinking is made with all-natural produce. It’s always a good idea to shake your juice before consuming it. We never use any chemicals or homogenizing agents.

All DOSE products are nut free. No juices, smoothies or shots were made with nuts or could have been in contact with products with nuts. You can now safely enjoy all of our products! 

Also, no ingredients contains gluten in all our DOSE products. However we are NOT certified gluten free. 

If you have any other allergies, please email us before placing your order. 

In any situation where a medical condition comes into question, it is always best to contact your doctor or health care provider. If you have any type of medical condition that affects the way you eat or drink, please consult your doctor before any cleanses or challenges.

DOSE products are not created for weight-loss purpose. We do not endorse drastic methods to lose weight. Our goal is to provide our customers with healthy juices, smoothies and shots to help support their wellness. However, by adding raw and nutritious juices to your diet, you could naturally begin craving more fruits & veggies, and less processed, sugary foods. That is something that can happen.

We offer you various juice cleanses that consist of drinking 10 juices/day to replace the majority of your meals and snacks. Avoid coffee and any processed foods – opt for herbal tea and lots of water instead. If you feel hungry, listen to your body, you can eat raw fruits and vegetables and nuts. Here again, the goal is not to lose weight. Many of our customers choose to do a cleanse when they feel bloated or when they want to stop eating bad and start on a healthier basis.
