Ariva Pharma

Ariva Pharma is a clinician-founded functional beverage company developing high-protein, indulgent RTD beverages for everyday consumers, not just athletes.

Its first product, working brand name DERDY™ (trademark pending), is a creamy protein soda designed to create a new space between protein shakes, functional sodas, and snack replacements. Each 16 oz can is being developed to deliver approximately 25g whey protein, with no added sugar, no artificial sweeteners or flavors, no added preservatives, and no gums or emulsifiers.

DERDY is positioned as a satisfying afternoon snack: indulgent enough to replace a sweet treat or soda, but functional enough to compete with protein shakes and bars. The product is built around strong flavor, clean-label formulation, and a naturally creamy drinking experience.

Ariva Pharma is currently in pre-launch, with pilot production and commercialization work underway as the company prepares to scale its first RTD beverage platform.
