The new doctor-formulated, clinically studied liquid supplement combines plant-powered ingredients with finished-formula clinical validation to support healthy blood pressure, blood flow and vascular function*

NEW YORK, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dose today announced the launch of Dose for Blood Pressure™, a doctor-formulated daily liquid supplement designed to support healthy blood pressure, including blood flow, vascular function and circulation. Dose for Blood Pressure is the first liquid supplement [product on the market] to show a statistically significant positive impact on both diastolic and systolic blood pressure in its own double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study. The launch marks a significant next chapter for Dose, expanding the brand's science-backed approach beyond liver health and cholesterol to another important, and often silent, marker of long-term health.*

Dose is a clinically-backed supplement brand built on the belief that lasting health begins by supporting the body's core systems and the key health markers tied to them, including liver health, cholesterol and now blood pressure. Through liquid formulations that combine recognizable, plant-powered ingredients backed by science, Dose helps consumers take a proactive approach to long-term health with measurable results they can see in their lab work and feel in everyday life.*

"From day one, our vision has been to help people take more control of their long-term health by supporting the core systems quietly powering their bodies," said Vasu Goyal, Founder of Dose. "Blood pressure was a natural next step because it's one of the most important, and often misunderstood, health markers. Too many people assume they'll feel when something is changing, when in reality blood pressure can change quietly over time. We saw an opportunity to bring the same rigorous scientific approach that defined our liver and cholesterol formulas to another critical area of long-term health."

Blood pressure was a natural next step in Dose's expansion into the core systems and health markers that can meaningfully affect long-term health without producing obvious signs. Like liver health and cholesterol, changes in blood pressure can happen quietly, making it an important area for proactive, consistent support. As Dose's first new product innovation since 2022, Dose for Blood Pressure reflects the brand's highly intentional approach to product development, including 18 months spent refining the formulation through over 100 iterations, and putting it through extensive scientific and clinical testing before bringing it to market.

Rather than relying on a single ingredient or pathway, Dose engineered a multi-mechanism formulation combining a proprietary Veldt Grape & Turmeric Blend with science backed CoQ10, grapeseed and folate. Together, the ingredients provide complementary support across healthy blood flow and vascular function, cellular and heart health, antioxidant support and cardiovascular wellness. *

Dose also tackled one of the category's key scientific challenges: delivering a clinically backed botanical blend in a stable, absorbable and great-tasting liquid. Using its proprietary formulation and absorption platform, Dose developed the formula in its signature liquid format and went beyond ingredient-level research to clinically evaluate the finished Dose for Blood Pressure formulation, providing clinical validation of the formula as a whole, not just its individual ingredients.

In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study based on 1-2 servings, Dose for Blood Pressure showed a statistically significant and meaningful positive impact in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.*^

Study findings included:

- 91% of participants showed a positive impact in systolic blood pressure.1†*

- 74% of participants showed a positive impact in diastolic blood pressure.1†*

1When taken twice daily

^ Based on a 4-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study in healthy adults without hypertension per JNC-7/WHO criteria. Percent improvement is based on at least 2 mmHg positive change in systolic or diastolic blood pressure.

† Based on a 4-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study in healthy participants as defined by JNC-7/WHO criteria.

Results from Dose for Blood Pressure clinical study complement established approaches like DASH diet and regular exercise.††

††Results are from separate studies and may not be directly comparable.

"Supporting healthy blood pressure isn't about targeting a single ingredient or pathway, it's about supporting an interconnected biological system," said Dr. Jiah Pearson-Leary, Director of Science at Dose. "That's why we designed Dose for Blood Pressure as a multi-mechanism formulation, combining clinically studied ingredients to support healthy blood flow, vascular function and circulation. Just as importantly, we clinically validated the finished formulation, not just the individual ingredients, because consumers deserve confidence in the product they're actually taking every day. *

The launch of Dose for Blood Pressure marks the next phase in the evolution of the Dose brand, expanding it from a brand primarily known for liver health into a broader platform supporting the core systems quietly powering the body. Anchored by the brand idea "Healthy Happens Quietly," the evolution reflects a simple truth: consumers can't necessarily feel their liver filtering, cholesterol changing or blood pressure rising, yet these unseen changes can have a meaningful impact on long-term health. Through an expanded portfolio, greater emphasis on clinical research and an evolved brand experience, Dose is helping consumers take proactive daily action before their bodies ask them to.

Dose for Blood Pressure joins the brand's existing portfolio supporting liver health and cholesterol, establishing Dose as one cohesive platform helping consumers care for the core systems quietly powering their bodies.

Beginning August 31, Dose for Blood Pressure will be available exclusively on dosedaily.co in two sizes: a 16 fl oz bottle (8 servings), available as a three-pack for $90 or six-pack for $160, and a 2 fl oz bottle (1 serving), available individually for $4.99 or as a 24-pack for $99. The formula is vegan, kosher, gluten-free and non-GMO,

HYDERABAD, India, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- According to recent report from Mordor Intelligence, the global lithium carbonate market is projected to grow from 1.41 million LCE tons in 2026, to 3.93 million LCE tons by 2031. Meanwhile, the U.S. IRA provides USD 35/kWh for eligible domestic cell production and a 10% critical-minerals credit, encouraging regional supply-chain investment. China currently accounts for around 60–70% of lithium refining, while new projects in Chile and Nevada are gradually expanding supply outside China.

Lithium carbonate industry growth is being supported by the increasing use of LFP batteries, which rely on lithium carbonate, along with rising demand for energy storage. U.S. utility-scale energy storage installations are expected to reach 57.6 GWh in 2025 and could triple in 2026.

Lithium Carbonate Market Trends & Upcoming Developments

Advances in Extraction and Recycling

Direct lithium extraction is moving toward broader commercial use, with new methods helping improve recovery, reduce energy use, and lower environmental impacts. Recycling is also becoming an important part of the supply chain by recovering lithium from used battery materials.

Lithium Price and Supply Challenges

Lithium carbonate prices remain highly sensitive to changes in battery demand, mine production, and supply availability. Frequent price movements can affect producer margins and make investment and production planning more challenging.

Refining Capacity and Regional Constraints

Lithium processing remains concentrated in a few regions, creating supply-chain risks and dependence on imported raw materials. New refining projects outside China are also facing lengthy approvals, technical requirements, and shortages of skilled workers, which can slow capacity expansion.

Lithium Carbonate Market Share by Region:

Asia-Pacific Lithium Carbonate Landscape

Asia-Pacific remains the main hub for lithium carbonate production and processing, supported by China's well-developed refining and battery manufacturing network. Japan and South Korea continue to depend heavily on imported battery-grade lithium carbonate, leaving them exposed to changes in regional supply policies.

North America Lithium Carbonate Outlook

North America is expanding its lithium carbonate capacity as government incentives encourage local mining, refining, and battery production. New projects and supply agreements are supporting domestic supply, although permitting and development timelines remain challenges.

"As the lithium carbonate market expands, growing demand for lithium-ion batteries, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems is creating opportunities across the battery supply chain. Increasing adoption of LFP battery technology and investments in lithium extraction and refining are also supporting market growth.

Three Iconic Pennsylvania Brands Join Forces for Manufacturing Day

CHANNELLOCK®, Case® and Zippo® spotlight the people and products behind Pennsylvania manufacturing

MEADVILLE, Pa., Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Three iconic Pennsylvania brands are joining forces for Manufacturing Day on Oct. 2 to celebrate the people, skills and communities behind products made in the Keystone State.

CHANNELLOCK®, W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company and Zippo Manufacturing Company manufacture products in Meadville and Bradford, Pennsylvania, where generations of employees have helped turn locally made products into brands recognized around the world. Together, the companies employ more than 1,150 people in Pennsylvania and represent approximately 355 years of combined company history.

The three companies have collaborated on a limited-edition set that brings together three of their most iconic products, all manufactured in Pennsylvania. The CHANNELLOCK® 140th Anniversary Set features CHANNELLOCK® 426 6.5-inch Tongue & Groove Pliers, a CHANNELLOCK BLUE® Zippo® windproof lighter and a CHANNELLOCK BLUE® Case® Sod Buster® Jr. pocket knife.

"Manufacturing is more than a location on a label. It's people showing up and taking pride in work that lasts," said William S. DeArment, Chairman and CEO of CHANNELLOCK®. "Coming together with Case® and Zippo® gives us a chance to recognize the strength of Pennsylvania manufacturing and the people behind products used across the country and around the world."

Founded in 1886, CHANNELLOCK® remains family-owned and operated in Meadville, where it employs more than 350 associates and manufactures more than 75 different sizes and types of pliers on American soil.

Not far from its sister company, Zippo, Case has manufactured premium knives in Bradford, Pennsylvania, since 1905. Today, roughly 300 employees work at the Bradford operation, where a Case knife can require upwards of 100 manufacturing processes to complete. While technological investments and innovation have optimized production over the decades, each knife remains meticulously crafted and tested by a proud workforce of highly skilled artisans.

"At Case, American craftsmanship is a tradition we've carried forward for more than a century, and this collaboration with CHANNELLOCK® is the perfect representation of our companies' shared values," said Brent Tyler, Vice President of global marketing for Zippo and Case. "Not only does each company have a proud heritage based in Pennsylvania, but also a steadfast commitment to investment and opportunity for our local community and the next generation of manufacturing."

Now in its fourth generation of family leadership, Zippo has also called Bradford home since its founding in 1932 and continues to manufacture its iconic windproof lighters there today. More than 650 million Zippo windproof lighters have been produced, each bearing the Bradford, Pennsylvania, name. The company employs around 500 people between its manufacturing facilities and corporate offices in Bradford, where workforce development remains central to future success.

"Bradford has been Zippo's home from the very beginning, and generations of talented people here have helped build one of the most recognized products in the world," said Grant B. Duke, President, CEO, and co-owner of Zippo and Case. "Investing in our local workforce through scholarships, apprenticeships and partnerships with our nearby university fulfills my great-grandfather's vision for American manufacturing while bolstering our hometown pride and prosperity."

As manufacturers across the country mark Manufacturing Day, CHANNELLOCK®, Case and Zippo are investing in their Pennsylvania operations and training the next generation of workers. Their continued presence in Meadville and Bradford reflects the role manufacturing continues to play in western Pennsylvania and the communities these companies call home.

Teens ages 13–17 can start building credit history, save at up to 3.35% APY, invest, and earn rewards, all with parental sponsorship, real-time controls, and no monthly fee

NEW YORK, Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- OnePay, the consumer fintech trusted by millions of Americans to make money better, today announced that teens ages 13-17 can bank through OnePay, giving them a hands-on way to manage money and build a financial foundation while parents maintain visibility and control.

There are roughly 42 million teenagers in the United States.1 Most will reach college without a working understanding of banking, saving, or investing, and without any credit history at all. A first car loan, an apartment application, a first credit card are all harder to get independently, and usually at higher rates, unless a parent co-signs.

With OnePay, teens can begin building credit history, spend, save, invest, earn rewards, receive allowances, and send money to friends and family, giving them access to many of the financial tools they'll use as adults. Nothing is reported to the credit bureaus while they're under 18. When teens turn 18, OnePay reports their eligible account history, helping them enter adulthood with an established credit file rather than a blank one. To qualify, they must remain an authorized user on a parent's OnePay deposit account, complete SSN verification, and not opt out of credit reporting.

Parents, through the OnePay app, can see their teens' accounts, follow their activity, manage controls, set allowances, and get real-time alerts. Teens can bank through OnePay with no monthly or subscription fees.

When teens turn 18, their OnePay accounts can transition with them into adulthood. They can keep their Builder Card, spending and savings history, automations, and any credit history they've built — and gain full access to the OnePay platform, including the CashRewards card, Pay Later, Crypto, and more

"Most teen banking products are dead ends. You spend years learning to manage money in an app that you then have to leave the day you turn 18," said Harsh Gupta, GM at OnePay. "Here, a 13-year-old's account can be the same one they'll have at 30, with years of credit history attached to it, so when they go to rent their first apartment or finance their first car, they're not starting from zero."

Teens can start banking through OnePay beginning September 28, 2026 in the OnePay app. Teens can choose from a variety of Builder Card designs: black, denim, leopard, sticker, and the original OnePay blue.

About OnePay

OnePay is an all-in-one financial services platform built on the simple belief that better money makes life better. With banking, high-yield savings, credit cards, point-of-sale lending, investment and crypto offerings, OnePay is providing millions of consumers with the tools they need to holistically manage their financial lives in one place. Alongside its expanding consumer offering, OnePay also partners with employers, HCM providers, gig platforms, and others to deliver embedded financial services to millions of employees and frontline workers.

OnePay is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services through OnePay are provided by Coastal Community Bank or Lead Bank, Members FDIC. OnePay debit and credit cards (including the Builder Mastercard®) are issued by partner banks pursuant to licensing by Mastercard® International. Brokerage services through OnePay are provided by One Growth Securities LLC, member FINRA/SIPC. Crypto services through OnePay powered by Zero Hash LLC and Zero Hash Liquidity Services LLC through an agreement with OneProgress Assets LLC. Investment and crypto products are not FDIC Insured, not bank guaranteed and may lose value. One Growth Securities LLC does not provide crypto services and OneProgress Assets LLC is not a member of FINRA/SIPC.

Advanced Communications Platform Now Available to Federal, State and Local Government Agencies

NEW YORK and RESTON, Va., Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LeapXpert, the leader in Governed Communication Intelligence, and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, today announced a partnership to bring governed messaging to the Public Sector. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as LeapXpert's Master Government Aggregator®, making The LeapXpert Communications Platform available to Federal, State and Local Government agencies through Carahsoft's reseller partners and The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS), OMNIA Partners, E&I Cooperative Services Contract and The Quilt contracts.

Government officials increasingly rely on consumer messaging channels, including WhatsApp, Signal, iMessage and SMS, to communicate with colleagues, constituents and external stakeholders. Yet many agencies lack the infrastructure needed to capture, govern and archive these conversations in accordance with National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) record retention requirements, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) obligations and broader Federal security mandates. The result is a growing compliance gap between how Public Sector employees communicate and what agencies can account for.

The LeapXpert Communications Platform enables secure communication across consumer messaging channels while capturing conversations in real time, allowing organizations to apply policy and governance as communications take place. LeapXpert serves hundreds of enterprise customers and hundreds of thousands of employees and professionals across 50 countries, spanning financial services, Government and the Forbes Global 2000.

"Federal employees are already having these conversations on WhatsApp and Signal. Until now, the record of them lived on a personal phone, outside every system meant to protect it," said Avi Pardo, Co-Founder and CBO at LeapXpert. "Government is now our fastest-growing segment, and the demand is arriving faster than a direct sales motion can meet it. Carahsoft brings the agency relationships and the contract reach to close that gap, and its reseller and value-added partner community extends it further than we could build on our own timeline."

"Government agencies need secure, governed communications across the messaging channels their employees already rely on," said Brian O'Donnell, Vice President of Cybersecurity Solutions at Carahsoft. "LeapXpert's Communications Platform provides agencies with a scalable path to integrate governed messaging across their organization, providing a solution that meets Federal security and compliance requirements. Together with our reseller partners, Carahsoft and LeapXpert are delivering Government-grade, mission-ready messaging security across the Public Sector."

LeapXpert's solutions are available through Carahsoft's TIPS Contract #220105, OMNIA Partners Contract #R240303, E&I Contract #EI00063~2021MA and The Quilt Master Service Agreement Number MSA05012019-F.

Latest investment reflects Huntington's commitment to the Carolinas

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Huntington National Bank (Huntington) today announced plans to add Huntington signage and expand its presence at its regional headquarters in Charlotte, underscoring the bank's long-term commitment to the Carolinas as it continues to grow across the region.

The signage will be installed at the top of the One South office tower, located at 101 S. Tryon St. in uptown Charlotte. Huntington opened its regional headquarters at One South in 2023, and today colleagues spanning its business segments, as well as a wide range of operational and support functions, are based in the building and help advance priorities across the enterprise.

Through its expansion at its regional headquarters, Huntington will occupy all of the 39th and 40th floors of One South, bringing its total space in the 40-story building to four full floors. The expansion will support Huntington's ongoing growth in North Carolina and South Carolina, adding to the several hundred colleagues already located at One South and other locations across the greater Charlotte area.

"The addition of Huntington signage and our planned expansion at our regional headquarters in Charlotte are powerful reflections of our commitment to the Carolinas and the importance of this region to our long-term strategy," said Huntington President Brant Standridge. "We are proud to mark this milestone as we continue our momentum in the Carolinas, serving individuals, businesses and communities through local relationships built on Huntington's people-first, customer-centered approach."

Elevated Visibility in the Heart of Charlotte's Financial District

One South, owned by Monarch Alternative Capital and Tourmaline Capital Partners and leased and managed by Trinity Partners, is a Class A building at the intersection of Trade and Tryon streets, in the heart of Charlotte's financial district. Huntington's signage will face South Tryon Street, giving the bank's name a prominent position on the city's skyline. Installation of the signage is expected in the coming weeks.

"We applaud Huntington's continued growth and investment in uptown Charlotte," said Michael J. Smith, CEO of Charlotte Center City Partners. "Their decision to double their presence at One South, a premier workspace at Trade and Tryon, further elevates uptown as a financial hub and a magnet for talent."

The signage will be fabricated and installed by SouthWood Corporation, a veteran-owned company headquartered in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Designed with programmable lighting, the signage will feature the bank's signature green and have the ability to change colors, enabling Huntington to join other buildings across uptown in recognizing community moments and other shared observances.

Deepening Roots Across Charlotte and the Carolinas

Huntington's planned addition of signage and expansion at its regional headquarters in Charlotte build on the significant investments it has made in the Carolinas.

Huntington has steadily grown its presence in the Carolinas over the past several years, extending its expertise and capabilities to more customers and communities throughout both states. That growth includes the bank's 2023 Commercial Banking expansion into the Carolinas; the expansion of its capital markets presence in Charlotte, a regional hub for that activity; and its 2024 announcement of plans to open approximately 55 branches across the region. As part of those plans, Huntington has opened 14 full-service branches serving 10 markets in the Carolinas, with more locations expected to come online as the branch buildout in the region continues.

Guided by its purpose of making people's lives better, helping businesses thrive and strengthening the communities it serves, Huntington has also supported organizations, initiatives and programs focused on areas important to the long-term success of the Carolinas, including affordable housing, education, financial literacy and small business formation and growth.

"We are excited to add Huntington's name to our regional headquarters in Charlotte and grow our footprint there, further demonstrating the commitment we have made to the Carolinas," said Trent Holland, regional president for North Carolina and South Carolina. "I am proud of the roots we continue to deepen in both states as we broaden the ways we are serving and supporting our customers and communities across the region."

Hard Rock Heals Foundation® drives breast cancer awareness and research funding through exclusive merchandise, charitable activations and guest experiences around the world

HOLLYWOOD, Fla., Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hard Rock International has launched its 27th annual PINKTOBER campaign for October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The global initiative runs throughout the month, uniting guests, team members and communities worldwide. It supports cancer awareness, research and patient services.

Underscoring its commitment to the principles "Love All Serve All" and "All Is One," Hard Rock unites the global communities it serves - across Hotels, Casinos, Cafes, Rock Shops and digital platforms - to amplify fundraising efforts and drive meaningful action throughout October. Raised funds will go directly to the Hard Rock Heals Foundation® and earmarked to support breast cancer research and awareness worldwide. To date, PINKTOBER has raised more than $15 million.

This year, Hard Rock Heals Foundation® is again partnering with the American Cancer Society. The partnership helps individuals and families affected by breast cancer through advocacy, research and patient support programs.

"PINKTOBER reflects the spirit of compassion, connection and purpose that defines the Hard Rock brand," said Stephanie Piimauna, Senior Vice President of People & Inclusion at Hard Rock International and Seminole Gaming. "By bringing together our global community through fundraising initiatives and impactful partnerships, we're proud to help raise critical support for breast cancer research while honoring the strength and resilience of those affected by the disease."

"Breast cancer affects millions of people and families, and partnerships like this one help ensure no one has to face the journey alone," said Kerri Whetzel, Vice President of Corporate Relations at the American Cancer Society. "We are incredibly grateful to Hard Rock International and the Hard Rock Heals Foundation® for their longstanding commitment to PINKTOBER and for bringing their global community together to raise awareness and support for those affected by breast cancer. Through this collaboration, we can help advance lifesaving research, provide essential resources and services to patients and families, and move closer to a future where breast cancer is no longer a threat to the lives of so many."
