Beverage formulation, possible reverse engineering

---

I’m building ASTRL — a mood-driven, low-calorie wellness beverage brand inspired by elemental energy (Earth, Fire, Air, Water). Each drink is crafted to support a feeling—hydration, clarity, calm, energy—using real functional ingredients like nootropics, adaptogens, and electrolytes. I’m currently working full-time while building ASTRL on nights and weekends, and I'm incredibly passionate about bringing this vision to life. I’m early in the journey, but serious about quality, growth, and creating something memorable. I was drawn to your work and experience—it feels like you'd really understand how to make ASTRL truly stand out. What I’m looking for: Help formulating and bringing one of the four products to life first (to nail it before scaling) Flavor balancing, functional ingredient integration, and shelf-stability guidance for an 8oz sparkling beverage Ideally, building a collaborative working relationship that could expand into the other blends over time Important to know: I do have a set budget for this early phase, so I’m being mindful and transparent about starting smart and growing intentionally I’m looking for a partner who’s excited to collaborate, guide, and help bring the brand's feel and mission into the final product I value honesty, mentoring energy, and a practical mindset—I'm here to learn and build something real, not cut corners Why ASTRL is different: This isn’t a mass-market functional water. ASTRL is a mood-first, clean-label drink line rooted in real feelings and real design—modern, elevated, and built for people who want wellness that feels aspirational but accessible.
