Founded in 2019 by osteopathic physician Dr. Lina Delbrück, DO, and her husband James in Newport Beach, Southern California,
Elixir Shots is a family-owned direct-to-consumer and retail functional beverage company specializing in physician-formulated, organic cold-pressed wellness shots. The brand was established to address a persistent gap in the wellness aisle: the prevalence of shelf-stable,
ambient-temperature shots that rely on heat pasteurization, synthetic powders, artificial isolates, and fruit juice concentrates.
Elixir Shots treats its formulations strictly as whole-food nutrition, positioning itself as a cleaner, clinical-grade alternative for consumers seeking daily immune support, metabolic vitality, and digestive wellness.

From a food science, processing technology, and ingredient sourcing perspective, Elixir Shots organizes its catalog across several key competencies:

• High-Pressure Processing (HPP) & Whole-Food Extraction: Rather than utilizing thermal pasteurization (which degrades heat-sensitive phytonutrients and enzymes) or UV irradiation (which cannot penetrate dense, fibrous mixtures), Elixir Shots utilizes cold High-Pressure Processing (HPP). Sealed bottles undergo approximately 87,000 psi of isostatic hydraulic pressure without added heat, neutralizing pathogens while preserving biological active compounds, fresh aromatic terpenes, and natural sediment.

• Single-Origin Farm Traceability: Formulations emphasize whole-root extraction with verified provenance rather than generic bulk commodities:

  • Red Hawaiian Turmeric harvested from volcanic soil in Kauai, paired with black pepper for enhanced curcumin bioavailability.

  • Peruvian Ginger sourced from Chanchamayo for potent gingerol concentration.

  • Ceremonial-Grade Japanese Matcha from Nishio.

  • Whole fruits and botanicals including Valencia oranges, Lisbon lemons, Oregon red beetroots, and Washington state carrots.

• Targeted Functional Formulations: Packaged in 12-pack, 24-pack, and 60-pack allocations across specific health objectives:

  • Immunity & Defense: Potent concentrations of raw ginger, turmeric, lemon, and cracked black pepper.

  • Gut Health: Infused with 3g of prebiotic dietary fiber and unfiltered raw apple cider vinegar.

  • Focus & Energy: Combining ceremonial matcha, whole cacao beans, and citrus.

  • Endurance & Hydration: Featuring electrolyte-rich coconut water, sea salt, watermelon, and nitrate-dense red beetroot.

  • Collagen+: Pomegranate-forward formula incorporating grass-fed bovine collagen peptides (the only non-vegan SKU in the otherwise 100% plant-based lineup).

• Cold-Chain Packaging Engineering: The company intentionally uses food-grade, BPA-free flexible plastic bottles because rigid glass shatters under the 15% fluid compression of HPP. Shipments are packaged in biodegradable insulated liners paired with non-toxic, drain-safe gel ice packs to ensure perishable cold-chain integrity from press to door.

Operationally, Elixir Shots fulfills direct-to-consumer orders across the United States directly from its Southern California manufacturing facility. Orders are dispatched with cold-chain priority transit to maintain strict refrigerated temperatures upon delivery. Customers are supported through flexible recurring subscription programs (offering skip, pause, and flavor swap capabilities), corporate bulk gifting, and dedicated digital support via phone and email.
