US-based cold-pressed juice and wellness beverage company, Arden’s Garden, has launched its latest functional beverage, Focus+, marking its entry into the functional mushrooms market.

Made with a combination of mushrooms, herbs and fruits that are known to support mental wellness and clarity, each 8oz bottle of Focus+ has 140 calories, 80mg of caffeine and 5g of dietary fibre with the flavours of apple, pineapple and peach.

The recipe includes a mixture of functional ingredients, including mushrooms lion's mane, reishi, cordyceps, as well as ashwagandha, bacopa and green tea. As with other Arden’s Garden products, Focus+ is vegan, gluten-free and certified kosher.

Leslie Zinn, CEO of Arden's Garden, said: "The science is catching up to what many have known for years: functional mushrooms, ashwagandha and other adaptogens offer real, measurable health benefits. Our goal was to take these nutrient-dense ingredients and deliver them in a way that's not only effective but also truly enjoyable to drink.”

Arden’s Garden was established in 1995 in Atlanta, US, with a mission to provide health and wellness through flavourful cold-pressed juices.

Zinn continued: “We started formulating this beverage by drawing on decades of experience in cold-pressed juices and real feedback from our juice bar customers. Focus+ was built from the ground up with purpose, layering functional plants and mushrooms with vibrant fruits to create something that supports the body and delights the palate."

Focus+ will begin appearing in Publix stores across the US, with further retail listings to follow later in the year. Focus+ retails at $4.99 per 8oz bottle.
