# Ingredients & Science Every ingredient. Every dose. No proprietary blends. No hidden numbers. This is the same data on the back of the pack, expanded with the science behind why each one is in the formula. STRIPPIES ENERGY Spearmint · 30 strips · $24.99 / 30 strips 50mg caffeine green coffee bean Caffeine from green coffee bean. 50mg is about half a cup of coffee — calibrated for a focused window without the long tail that interferes with sleep later. 30mg l theanine L-theanine. An amino acid that crosses the blood-brain barrier and increases alpha-wave activity (focused attention without stress). Paired with caffeine, it smooths the spike. 2019 meta-analysis: 50mg caffeine + L-theanine outperforms 200mg caffeine alone on sustained focus. 1000mcg b12 methylcobalamin B12 (methylcobalamin). Supports normal nervous-system function. The methylated form is what your body uses directly — no conversion needed. 20mg korean ginseng Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng). Adaptogen used for centuries in traditional medicine; modern research suggests it supports cognitive performance during fatigue. STRIPPIES SLEEP Cranberry · 30 strips · $24.99 / 30 strips 50mg l theanine L-theanine. Calms anxious thought loops via increased GABA + serotonin. Critical for stressed sleepers — cortisol stays elevated at bedtime under chronic stress, and melatonin alone can't override it. L-theanine quiets the override. 50mg valerian root Valerian root. Traditional sleep herb that supports GABA pathways. Pairs with L-theanine to address the stress side of the cortisol-melatonin conflict. 5mg melatonin Melatonin (5mg). The signal that tells your body it's night. Sublingual absorption gives roughly 2× the bioavailability of an oral tablet — peaks in minutes, not 40+. 10mg lavender Lavender. Studied for anxiolytic effects via olfactory + ingested pathways. 10mg chamomile Chamomile. Traditional wind-down herb. Apigenin is the studied active compound. 10mg hibiscus Hibiscus. Antioxidant support and flavor balance for the cranberry profile. Why a strip? Pills and gummies have to be digested before they kick in — usually 30-45 minutes. The actives sit in your stomach, dissolve slowly in acid, then absorb through the intestinal wall. By the time you feel anything, half an hour has passed. STRIPPIES dissolves under your tongue in 60 seconds. The actives absorb sublingually — through the dense capillary network beneath your tongue — and enter your bloodstream directly. No first-pass liver metabolism. No 30-minute wait. Research on sublingual melatonin shows bioavailability roughly 2× that of an oral tablet, with peak plasma levels in minutes instead of 40+ minutes. For caffeine, onset is meaningfully faster too. That's why we picked the format. What's not in here Gluten-free. Dairy-free. Soy-free. Nut-free. Non-GMO. No added sugar. We don't carry a vegan certification — extra certifications cost money and we don't lie in our marketing about ones we haven't paid for. The formulation uses synthetic melatonin and plant-based actives. Questions?
