What a supplement strip is, from the person who makes them
Eleven supplements. None of them a pill.
You did not search for a health claim. You searched for a format. So this page is about the format — what the thing physically is, what it is not, and which of the eleven you would actually take.
A FLXStrips strip is a film. Roughly the size of a postage stamp, thin enough to see light through at the edge, and dry to the touch. You put it on your tongue and it goes.
That is the entire mechanism, and I am going to keep the page at that level on purpose. There is a lot of confident language in this category about what dissolving films do once they are in your mouth. Most of it has no document behind it. I would rather sell you the part I can prove.
No water. Nothing to swallow. No capsule shell, no scoop, no shaker, no bottle in the bag. One strip, the same measured amount, once a day.
It lands flat on the tongue and softens almost immediately. Within a few seconds it has stopped being a solid object, and about half a minute later there is nothing left to feel. Then there is a flavour — cranberry, raspberry, mango, orange, chocolate, mixed berry, depending which one you are holding — and after that, nothing. No aftertaste to chase with a drink, because there was never anything to wash down.
Every formula we make is specified to break down in not more than 60 seconds. The ENERGY lot most people are receiving right now measured 38.

This table describes handling and use characteristics of each format. It makes no claim about how much of any ingredient reaches the bloodstream by any route. Capsule, gummy and powder entries describe those formats generally, not specific brands.
No absorption percentages. You will see strip products advertised at eighty and ninety percent, next to a diagram of something going straight into the bloodstream. Ask where that figure came from and which product it was measured on. We print numbers that arrive with a document. That one does not.
You will also not find a disease named anywhere on this site, or a promise about how you will feel, or a timeline. Not because the format is weak — because the format does not need it. A film that dissolves on your tongue in about thirty seconds instead of a tablet you swallow with a glass of water is a complete argument on its own.
Made in the United States, in a facility that is FDA-registered, GMP-certified, and holds NSF/ANSI 455-2 for oral dissolving films — third-party, against a published standard. Plenty of brands in this category say "tested in-house." That is not the same thing, and it is worth knowing which one you are buying.
If a figure appears on this site, there is a document behind it, and you can have a copy. Ask and we will send the certificate of analysis for the lot you received — assay against label claim, heavy metals, pesticides, microbials, disintegration time.
They are the same film in every case. What changes is what is in it. One a day, any time of day, no water.
Two formulas are not on this list. WEIGHT and SLEEP are still on the site, but I am not promoting either one here — SLEEP's product copy needs rewriting before I put money behind it, and I would rather tell you that than quietly leave it out.
Tins run $23.99 to $27.99 for a month. One strip a day, so between 80 cents and 93 cents a day depending which one you take.
I am not going to tell you that is cheap. A supermarket multivitamin is cheaper. What I would say is that the cheapest supplement is the one you actually finish, and this is the format people finish — it is already in your pocket, and there is nothing to remember, mix or wash up.
Two tins are 10% off. Three are 15% off, and shipping is free. If you are going to take something every day, the three-pack is the version of this that makes sense — it is one order instead of three, and it is the cheapest per strip we do.

Nothing to send back. Opened tins cannot be resold, so returning them helps nobody. We do not ask you to justify it and we do not ask for paperwork. That is the whole policy.
