Saint Louis, Missouri, United States, 26th Feb 2026 – Karviva, the functional beverage company founded by nutritional scientist Dr. Angela Zeng, continues to gain momentum across retail and industry platforms, following recognition from the Missouri Department of Agriculture and its recent selection as one of RangeMe’s Top 50 Brands in Food and Beverage. The milestones reflect growing demand for Karviva’s science-backed wellness drinks and increasing interest from major retailers nationwide.

Karviva was recognized by the Missouri Department of Agriculture for its contribution to the state’s food and beverage innovation ecosystem. As a member of the Grown in Missouri program, the brand develops and manufactures its products in St. Louis, supporting local production while transforming whole-food ingredients into functional beverages designed for everyday wellness. The recognition highlights Karviva’s alignment with value-added agriculture, responsible sourcing, and sustainable growth.

In addition to the state-level acknowledgment, Karviva has been named one of RangeMe’s Top 50 Brands in Food and Beverage and featured in the research section of MMR Magazine. RangeMe’s Top 50 list tracks buyer engagement across more than 250,000 brands on its platform and highlights companies generating strong interest from retail buyers through profile activity, meeting requests, and product engagement. The designation serves as an indicator of retail readiness and future shelf potential.

These recognitions come amid continued retail expansion for Karviva. The brand recently launched Karviva Energy Juices and ACE Collagen Juices at Gelson’s Market locations across Southern California, expanding its presence on the West Coast among premium grocery shoppers. On the East Coast, Stop and Shop has added Karviva Energy Juices to its assortment. The products are currently in the launch phase, following a delayed reset timeline related to distributor scheduling, with broader in-store placement expected as the rollout continues.

Karviva has also gained national editorial attention for its approach to wellness and detox, including coverage that highlights the brand’s emphasis on consistency, nourishment, and digestive support rather than extreme or short-term cleansing practices. Dr. Zeng’s perspective draws from both evidence-based nutrition science and traditional wellness philosophies, shaping formulations that are designed to fit into daily routines.

Dr. Zeng shared that the combination of state recognition, industry validation, and retail growth reflects the brand’s steady progress. She noted that interest from retailers and buyers continues to build as consumers become more informed about functional beverages and look for options that deliver real benefits without artificial ingredients.

With recognition from Missouri Agriculture, inclusion on the RangeMe Top 50 list, and expanding retail partnerships across both coasts, Karviva enters 2026 positioned for continued growth and broader national visibility.

Saint Louis, Missouri, United States, 26th Feb 2026 – Dr. Angela Zeng, scientist, entrepreneur, and founder of Karviva Wellness Beverages, has released her TEDx talk titled How to Support Your Child’s Mental Health Without Medication, now officially live on YouTube. The talk, delivered at TEDxForbesParkSalon, has already surpassed 200,000 views since its publication on January 20, 2026.

In the talk, Dr. Zeng shares a deeply personal and powerful story that begins with a moment no parent expects to face. She recounts the day her young son told her he wanted to die and the difficult path that followed. Drawing from her background in biomedical research, her family roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and her lived experience as a mother, Dr. Zeng explores how her family found a way forward without immediately relying on medication.

The talk focuses on practical, science-informed shifts that supported her son’s mental well-being, including the role of food, time in nature, and intentional reflection. Dr. Zeng presents these approaches as complementary tools that can support children experiencing stress, anxiety, or depression, while emphasizing the importance of understanding root causes rather than only symptoms. Her message offers guidance not just for parents, but also for educators and caregivers seeking compassionate, grounded ways to support emotional health.

Dr. Zeng’s work consistently connects personal experience with professional expertise. Born into generations of herbalists and trained as a medical researcher, she has dedicated her career to exploring how ancient healing traditions and modern science can work together to support both physical and mental health. Through her TEDx talk, she brings that philosophy into a broader conversation around parenting, resilience, and emotional care.

The talk has resonated strongly with viewers seeking alternatives and additional perspectives in conversations around children’s mental health. By sharing her family’s journey with honesty and clarity, Dr. Zeng aims to offer hope and practical insight to those navigating similar challenges.

The TEDx talk How to Support Your Child’s Mental Health Without Medication is now available on YouTube.
