ISSUED ON BEHALF OF DOSEOLOGY SCIENCES INC.VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- USANewsGroup.com News Commentary – The global functional food and beverage market is projected to reach approximately $438 billion in 2026, expanding at a 10.65% annual rate as consumers shift away from conventional delivery formats toward targeted, portable alternatives[1]. That structural pivot is accelerating across the oral pouch category specifically, where nicotine-free and caffeine-based formats are riding a broader modern oral segment forecast to exceed $25 billion by 2030[2]. Five companies are positioning around this format-driven thesis: Doseology Sciences Inc. (CSE: MOOD) (OTCPK:DOSEF) (FSE: VU70), Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ: KHC), Tilray Brands (NASDAQ: TLRY), Cronos Group (NASDAQ: CRON), and USANA Health Sciences (NYSE: USNA).
Industry analysts project the functional beverage segment alone will climb past $164 billion this year, with energy drinks and wellness-oriented products commanding the fastest growth lanes[3]. Brands that pair clean-label formulation with novel packaging and direct-to-consumer testing are capturing disproportionate shelf velocity, making product format innovation the primary value driver of the 2026 consumer cycle[4].Doseology Sciences Inc. (CSE: MOOD) (OTCPK:DOSEF) (FSE: VU70), recently launched pilot production of caffeine-based energy pouches in January 2026, marking the Feed That Brain brand's entry into the fast-expanding oral pouch category. Based in Kelowna, British Columbia, Doseology Sciences is producing nicotine-free pouches that deliver measured caffeine doses in a compact, portable format, drawing on the same consumer shift that turned tobacco-free nicotine pouches into a multibillion-dollar segment.The pilot pouches skip the sugar, carbonation, and liquid volume found in conventional energy drinks. A direct-to-consumer test phase is planned to collect customer feedback and operational data ahead of any broader commercial launch."This pilot reflects a disciplined and intentional approach to evaluating new product formats within our platform," said Tim Corkum, President and COO of Doseology Sciences. "Feed That Brain brings a strong foundation in functional product design, and this initiative allows us to assess caffeine-based, pouch-format energy delivery under a measured and compliant framework."The energy pouch program grew out of Doseology Sciences' August 2025 acquisition of the Feed That Brain brand for $400,000, paid entirely through stock issuance. Feed That Brain, a Toronto-based cognitive health label founded by Forbes-recognized entrepreneur Rena R. Dempsey, built its reputation on functional gummies and nootropic supplements designed to support mental performance.Doseology Sciences also secured Joseph Mimran as Strategic Advisor under a three-year agreement valued at $400,000 in restricted share units. Mimran co-founded Alfred Sung, founded Club Monaco (later acquired by Ralph Lauren), and created the Joe Fresh retail brand. He cited the company's product development process and attention to regulatory compliance as reasons for joining.Two large market tailwinds support the strategy. Grand View Research projects the global energy drinks market will grow from $79.4 billion in 2024 to $125.1 billion by 2030. The nicotine pouch segment is forecast to climb from $5.4 billion in 2024 to over $25 billion by 2030, reflecting a 29.6% annual growth rate. Rising consumer concern over sugar intake and beverage overconsumption continues to push demand toward alternative caffeine delivery methods.Doseology Sciences currently distributes Gummies and Collagen products under the Feed That Brain brand across close to 500 Canadian retail locations. Its U.S. subsidiary, Doseology USA Inc., established earlier this year, is working on pouches that blend caffeine with nootropics and adaptogens. The leadership team now includes CEO Chris Jackson, President and COO Tim Corkum, and Strategic Go-to-Market Advisor Patrick Sills.CONTINUED... Read this and more news for Doseology Sciences at:
