FAQ
Straight answers before you buy.
Is Astradust caffeinated?
No. Zero milligrams of caffeine. Astradust uses paraxanthine, the compound your body already makes after processing caffeine, so you get the alertness without the caffeine itself.
What's daily-ish?
Daily-ish means consistent enough to grow, human enough to rest. I made Astradust to get myself off caffeine. I love drinking it every day, but I don't feel like I need it to function. That's the point. Drink it every day if you like, skip a day when you want, and pick it back up without guilt.
What is paraxanthine?
Paraxanthine is the primary metabolite your liver converts caffeine into. It's what's actually doing the alertness work when you drink coffee. Astradust uses paraxanthine directly, so you skip the caffeine part of the loop.
How many servings per pouch?
20 stick packs per pouch.
How do I mix it?
Tear a stick, mix with 16 oz of cold water, shake or stir, drink. Best about 10 minutes before you'd normally reach for caffeine.
I'm trying to quit caffeine cold turkey. Is Astradust safe to use during that?
Yes, and it's exactly what we designed it for. Astradust contains zero caffeine, so it won't feed a caffeine dependency or trigger withdrawal. Most people use it as a step down. Keep the morning drink, keep the alertness, drop the caffeine.
Will I actually feel it?
Most people notice it in 5 to 10 minutes. It's not a spike. It's the same clean, steady alertness you'd get from a strong cup, without the racing heart or the crash on the back end. From Eric, a customer: "No crash. No jitters, but a definite boost."
How does it compare to Celsius, Alani, Zipfizz, or matcha?
Those all run on caffeine, usually 120 to 300 mg per serving. Matcha is just caffeine and L-theanine. Astradust runs on paraxanthine, the metabolite your body converts caffeine into. Same lift. No caffeine. No sugar. No crash. From Jordan, a customer: "Comparable to a Monster without the crappy feeling after."
Can I use it while pregnant or nursing?
If you are pregnant, nursing, or have any health concerns, talk with your doctor before using Astradust.
Why is it more expensive than a Monster?
Fair question. Subscriptions save you money and ship free. The pouch feels like more because you're paying for 20 servings up front instead of one at a time. Spread over 20 servings, a $37.77 pouch works out to about $1.89 a serving.
What if it doesn't work for me?
30 day money back guarantee. If it's not doing what we said it would, email hello@astradust.com within 30 days for a full refund. Keep the pouch. We don't want it back.
