Strategic inventory of 100,000 20-packs now available to meet increasing demand for rapid-onset sublingual caffeine technology

ESTERO, FL / ACCESS Newswire / January 22, 2026 / Aspire Biopharma Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASBP), a leader in innovative patent-pending sublingual delivery technologies, today announced it has taken delivery of two million units of its flagship caffeine supplement, BUZZ BOMB™.

This delivery marks a critical milestone in Aspire's commercialization strategy, introducing a comprehensive brand relaunch and redesigned packaging. The new aesthetic is engineered for high-impact shelf presence and digital engagement, emphasizing the product's core advantages: nearly instant energy, precise 50mg dosing, and the convenience of sublingual absorption.

BUZZ BOMB™ Newly Designed Packaging

Unlike traditional energy drinks or pills, BUZZ BOMB™--a dry powder sprinkled under the tongue from a single-serving stick pack--utilizes a proprietary sublingual format that delivers pure caffeine quickly without the hassle of mixing with water, without drinking typical caffeine sources like energy drinks, coffee, or soda.

"This significant inventory delivery of BUZZ BOMB™ is expected to support the launching of our expanded consumer strategy," said Kraig Higginson, Interim CEO of Aspire Biopharma. "By combining our new production capacity with a modernized brand identity, BUZZ BOMB™ is uniquely positioned to scale. Together with our new online e-commerce website and refreshed packaging design, BUZZ BOMB™ is primed to capture significant market share by introducing our revolutionary sublingual technology to a wider audience."

To drive growth following this delivery, Aspire plans to launch an aggressive marketing campaign featuring:

• Expanded Digital Marketing: Targeted campaigns across high-traffic social platforms.

• Influencer Partnerships: Collaborations with performance-focused creators in the fitness and healthy lifestyle sectors.

• DTC Optimization: Streamlined purchasing via the BUZZ BOMB™ official storefront.

The Company is concurrently evaluating new retail partnerships and wholesale distribution channels to maximize the reach of the refreshed 20-pack configurations.
