Frequently Asked Questions

Energy Strips: Take up to 2 strips daily, spacing them at least 4 hours apart for optimal effect. Start with one strip to assess your tolerance.

Sleep Strips: Take 1 strip about 30 minutes before bedtime.

Important: Allow at least 6 hours between your last energy strip and your sleep strip to ensure the best results from both.

Energy Strips: Take whenever you need a boost - morning wake-up, pre-workout, afternoon slump, or before a big meeting.

Sleep Strips: Take 30 minutes before your intended bedtime. This gives the calming ingredients time to prepare your body for rest.

Place the strip on your tongue and let it dissolve - takes less than a minute. No water needed. The ingredients absorb directly through your mouth's mucous membranes, bypassing your digestive system for faster, more efficient delivery.

Pro tip: For even faster absorption, place the strip under your tongue.

Absolutely! Many customers use energy strips during the day and sleep strips at night. Just make sure to take your last energy strip at least 6 hours before your sleep strip. This ensures the caffeine won't interfere with your sleep.

Start with half a strip to assess your tolerance. Our energy strips contain L-theanine alongside caffeine, which smooths out the energy boost and prevents jitters. Many caffeine-sensitive customers find our strips work better for them than coffee or energy drinks.

Oral-dissolving strips offer clear advantages:

• Higher efficiency – oral-mucosal delivery can achieve significantly higher bioavailability*
• Faster effect – often 2–3× quicker to peak levels than swallowed formats*
• Zero calories – unlike many drinks, coffees, or gummies loaded with sugar
• Travel-friendly – TSA-approved, no liquids, no melting
• Precision – each strip contains an exact, consistent dose
• Preferred – about 80% of people prefer oral-mucosal over swallowing pills*

Most people can start to notice effects from oral-mucosal formats in as little as 5–10 minutes.* Because these formats dissolve in your mouth and absorb directly into the bloodstream, they bypass most of the digestive process. No waiting for pills to break down or drinks to process.

No jitters, no crash. We specifically formulated our energy strips with L-theanine to smooth out the caffeine boost. L-theanine is an amino acid that promotes calm focus, preventing the anxiety and crash associated with coffee or energy drinks.

Plus, the B12 provides sustained cellular energy support throughout the day.

Our sleep strips are non-habit forming. We use natural ingredients like chamomile, lavender, and passion flower alongside melatonin - your body's own sleep hormone. These work with your natural sleep cycle rather than forcing sedation.

You can use them nightly or just when you need extra sleep support.

Everyone from CEOs to students, athletes to artists, parents to pilots. If you need reliable energy without the coffee shop lines or peaceful sleep without prescription pills, strips are for you.

Our customers particularly love them for travel, busy workdays, workout sessions, and maintaining consistent sleep schedules.

Strips use oral-mucosal absorption — a science term for "absorbing through your mouth." The lining of your mouth has many blood vessels close to the surface, allowing ingredients to enter the bloodstream directly.

Pills must survive stomach acid, be broken down, and then pass through the liver before reaching circulation — a process that can reduce how much is absorbed. By skipping much of digestion, oral-mucosal formats can reach effective levels in the blood faster — and, for certain ingredients, deliver more of what you take compared to swallowed forms.*

Energy drinks and sleep drinks have three major problems:

• Diluted ingredients - spread across 8-16 oz of liquid
• Sugar and calories - most drinks have 25-50g of sugar
• Slower absorption - liquids still go through your digestive system

Strips deliver concentrated ingredients directly to your bloodstream with zero calories or sugar.

Yes! Our strips use advanced polymer technology that rapidly dissolves on contact with saliva. Most people experience complete dissolution in less than a minute. No water, no swallowing pills, no mixing powders.

Bioavailability is the percentage of a substance that actually enters your bloodstream and becomes available for your body to use. When you take any supplement, not all of it gets absorbed — some is lost during digestion, broken down by stomach acid, or filtered out by your liver. Higher bioavailability means more of what you take actually reaches your system where it can have an effect. Different delivery methods (pills, liquids, strips) can dramatically affect how much of an ingredient your body can actually use.

Melatonin pills typically have a bioavailability of just 15%, meaning that when you swallow a melatonin tablet, only about 15% of it actually reaches your bloodstream. The rest is lost to stomach acid breakdown and first-pass metabolism in the liver. This is why many people find they need higher doses of melatonin pills to feel an effect — your body is only using a fraction of what you're taking.

These are all methods of absorbing substances through the mouth rather than swallowing. Sublingual means under the tongue, buccal refers to absorption through the cheek, and oral mucosal is the general term for absorption through any part of the mouth's lining. All three bypass the digestive system for faster, more efficient delivery to the bloodstream. Our strips utilize oral mucosal absorption, meaning they can work anywhere in your mouth — on or under your tongue, against your cheek — wherever you place them.
