The science
One of the body's fastest delivery routes.
Sublingual — under the tongue. Active ingredients can absorb directly through the tissue in your mouth, ahead of digestion.
What happens under the tongue.
The floor of your mouth is one of the most absorbent surfaces in your body: the tissue under the tongue is thin and rich in capillaries. When something dissolves there, its active ingredients can pass through that tissue and into circulation directly.
A swallowed pill or gummy takes a longer road. It has to travel to the stomach, break down, and pass through the digestive system and liver before what’s left reaches your bloodstream — which is why swallowed formats are typically taken 30–60 minutes ahead of when you want them working. The sublingual route skips that queue.

Why a strip, specifically.
The format is built for the route. A strip is a thin film that dissolves under the tongue in about 60 seconds — no chewing, no water, nothing to swallow. Each strip carries a printed, measured dose (5mg melatonin + 5mg magnesium for Sleep; 40mg caffeine + 250mcg B12 for Energy), so what you take is exactly what the label says — every time, with no scoops or half-tablets.
Each strip is individually sealed, and the wallet-size 4-pack goes through airport security without a liquids bag. Every batch is third-party tested, with a certificate of analysis on file.
Why strips outperform pills and gummies.

Frequently asked questions
What does sublingual mean?+
Under the tongue. A sublingual product is held under the tongue, where it dissolves and absorbs through the tissue directly — rather than being swallowed and digested first.
How fast do the strips dissolve?+
Each strip dissolves under the tongue in about 60 seconds — no chewing and no water required.
Do I need water?+
No. Sublingual strips absorb directly through the tissue under your tongue, so there is nothing to swallow.
When should I take a strip?+
Sleep: as part of your wind-down, with a full night ahead of you. Energy: whenever you need clean focus — the strip dissolves in about 60 seconds, so there's no need to plan ahead.
Are they habit forming?+
Our formulas are designed for occasional, responsible use and are non-habit forming. Follow the usage guidance on the pack.
Do Oprimaze strips contain CBD?+
No. The strips contain no CBD, no THC, and no hemp-derived ingredients — Sleep Support is melatonin + magnesium and Energy Boost is caffeine + B12, with every active printed on the pack and third-party verified per batch. Oprimaze also makes a separate hemp-derived nasal spray line, sold at oprimaze.com; the strips share none of its ingredients.
Where do you ship, and how long does it take?+
We ship domestically and internationally from US-based warehousing, with free US shipping on orders over $25 ($4.95 flat below that).
