Absorption Timeline
Oral absorption begins in seconds.
Pills can take 30–60 minutes to dissolve, then face stomach acid and liver metabolism. STRIIPZ dissolve on your tongue and start absorbing in seconds, skipping most of the gastrointestinal tract.
Dissolves in your mouth. Absorbs through the oral mucosa.
Needs to dissolve, then goes through stomach and liver metabolism.
Needs to break down in the digestive tract.

More active. Less bulk.
A compact format. Built for active delivery.
Traditional pills and gummies are solid oral formats that may contain active ingredients alongside excipients such as binders, coatings, sweeteners or other formulation ingredients. STRIIPZ uses an ultra-thin oral strip format designed to deliver its labeled ingredients without the bulk of a conventional solid dosage form.

PILL
Conventional solid oral format that may include active ingredients and excipients.

GUMMY
Chewable format commonly formulated with active ingredients and other ingredients.
STRIIPZ product formulas contain specific active ingredients at
product-specific labeled amounts. Because pill and gummy formulations
vary widely by ingredient and product, there is no universal mg-to-mg
comparison between these formats.
Format information shown here is intended as a general comparison
of dosage-form characteristics, not a claim that STRIIPZ contains
more active ingredient than every pill or gummy.
Peel. Place. Dissolve.
Peel & Remove
Carefully open the pouch and remove the STRIIPZ oral strip with clean, dry hands.
Place on Your Tongue
Place the strip directly on your tongue and allow it to dissolve completely. No water needed.
Make It a Daily Habit

L-Theanine & Stress
RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALResearchers studied L-theanine during an acute mental stress task and measured psychological and physiological stress responses.
L-theanine reduced several physiological stress responses compared with control conditions.
The study involved 12 participants completing repeated experimental sessions. L-theanine intake was associated with reduced heart-rate and salivary immunoglobulin A responses during the acute stress task. The authors suggested that the effects may involve reduced sympathetic nervous activation.

Caffeine & Depression
OBSERVATIONAL META-ANALYSISA meta-analysis examined observational studies on coffee, caffeine consumption and depression risk.
Coffee and caffeine consumption were associated with a lower risk of depression.
The analysis included observational studies involving hundreds of thousands of participants. The authors reported an association between coffee or caffeine consumption and reduced depression risk. Because these were observational data, the findings do not establish that caffeine prevents or treats depression.

Gut-Brain Axis
RESEARCH REVIEWResearch has examined links between gut dysbiosis, immune signaling, metabolism and brain function.
The gut microbiome can communicate with the brain through multiple biological pathways.
The review discusses neural, immune and metabolic pathways through which gut dysbiosis may interact with brain function. The evidence describes biological relationships and does not establish that a particular probiotic treats depression.
Research presented here relates to individual ingredients, specific strains, ingredient combinations, or specific study populations. Ingredient research does not establish that STRIIPZ products diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Individual results may vary.
