Country of origin of the text: Brazil

Context:

SHOT NUTRITION - XY NEWWAY PROFESSIONAL LINE. Nourishing ampoule that enhances the treatment of XY NEW WAY - SLIGHT and improves the wet and dry hair shaft. Developed with lanolin, keratin, amisol trio and silicones, they form a protective film around the hairs that protects them against dryness, as well as reduce frizz and breakage.

What does "shot" refer to here? It's supposed to be an adjective in this text, isn't it? Does it mean "full or complete" then? Or can it be a noun meaning a small amount/an amount of a drug that'll be injected/a small amount applied at one time (dose)?

Selected answer:dose
Explanation:
From the description of the product, I'd say it's the second case: dose. You can see they use this same word when describing how to use the product

With the hair already clean by SOFT CLEANING SHAMPOO – NT NEW WAY, apply SHOT NUTRITION – NT NEW WAY SLIGHT (single dose) uniformly throughout the hair, strand by strand. Allow it to act for 10 minutes. Wash and continue to the blow-drying step, or finish it as usual.

agree  philgoddard: It's a slightly odd choice of words. If you were translating it, you could say something like "single-dose" or instant".
