Arden’s Garden, a premium cold-pressed juice and wellness company based in Atlanta, has launched Sea Moss Energy, a new functional wellness shot designed to deliver sustained energy and gut-friendly nutrition.

The product builds on the company’s growing lineup of sea moss–based offerings, following the success of its Tropical Sea Moss Smoothie, introduced in 2025.

Sea Moss Energy is made with fruit juices and gel derived from St Lucia sea moss and features tropical flavours including pineapple, passion fruit and lemon. The 2-ounce shot contains green tea for a smooth caffeine lift without the crash commonly associated with coffee. Each serving delivers 106 milligrams of caffeine and just 40 calories.

“We have seen such an amazing response to our other products that utilise sea moss gel, so it was only natural that we expanded our wellness shot offering to include Sea Moss Energy as well,” said Leslie Zinn, CEO of Arden’s Garden.

“In just six months, our Tropical Sea Moss Smoothie became a best-selling product. Consumers are clearly interested in sea moss for its mineral-rich nourishment and anti-inflammatory properties, and this shot allows us to deliver those benefits in a convenient, on-the-go format”.

Founded in 1995, Arden’s Garden has steadily expanded its portfolio of fruit and vegetable juices, smoothies, functional beverages and better-for-you foods. The addition of Sea Moss Energy reflects growing consumer interest in functional ingredients that support energy, digestion, and metabolic health.

According to the company, the new shot was developed to support gut health and thyroid function while appealing to flavour-forward consumers.

“We took the best of both worlds, functional ingredients and tropical flavours, and combined them into a wellness shot that’s easy to toss into a gym bag or lunchbox,” Zinn said.

Sea Moss Energy is now rolling out nationally, hitting shelves this week in more than 1,450 Publix locations and already available in over 100 Roundy’s stores across the Midwest. Additional retail distribution is expected to be announced in the coming months as Arden’s Garden continues to expand its footprint.

The product retails for $2.99 per 2-ounce shot and is available at all Publix locations.
