HUMACAO, PUERTO RICO AND NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / April 11, 2025 / Aspire Biopharma Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASBP) ("Aspire" or the "Company"), a developer of a multi-faceted patent-pending disruptive drug and supplement delivery technology, announced today it has begun initial production of its single dose pre workout supplement utilizing Aspire's patent-pending and proprietary sublingual delivery technology. The clinically dosed pre-workout formula is expected to be conveniently packaged in a single serving sachet for easy on-the-go use. The Company expects to begin consumer and safety testing of this supplement product during the second quarter of 2025.

Aspire's initial pre-workout supplement features 100mg of caffeine as well as beta alanine (which helps reduce lactic acid buildup) and is designed to support sustained energy and mental focus, helping athletes and fitness enthusiasts maximize their performance potential. Aspire's sachets are easy to use, do not need to be mixed with water (no more scoops and messy bottles), and contain a precise amount of caffeine.

Market Overview

With the increasing popularity of fitness and exercise, the demand for pre-workout supplements has grown exponentially. According to Straits Research, "The global pre-workout supplements market was valued at USD 19.90 billion in 2023. It is estimated to reach USD 29.77 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 4.58% during the forecast period (2024-2032).
