Why dissolvable strips

Traditional injection
  • Needles, vials, and a sharps bin.
  • Reconstitution and sterile mixing required.
  • Refrigeration and careful storage.
  • A learning curve before the first dose.

  • Slips under your tongue in 60–90 seconds.
  • No mixing, no measuring, no syringes.
  • Shelf-stable at room temperature.
  • Nothing to learn — open and go.

No needles

The strip dissolves under your tongue. Nothing to inject, nothing to throw away after.

No fridge math

Shelf-stable at room temperature. Keep them in a drawer, a gym bag, or a carry-on.

No learning curve

Open the pouch, place one strip, wait about a minute. That's the whole protocol.

Featured peptides

We do the research so you don't have to.

We're obsessed with cutting edge ways to improve health, lifespan, and quality of life — and we don't think you should have to clear a high barrier to get there. We've spent thousands of dollars on products we will never sell, because they didn't meet our bar. We only ship what we'd give to people we love.

Every batch is third-party tested.

FAQ

What are peptides?

Short chains of amino acids your body uses to signal things like healing, metabolism, hormone release, and Connections drive. Different peptides do different things.

Why dissolvable strips instead of injections?

Peptides shouldn't require a chemistry degree or a needle. Strips dissolve under your tongue. No mixing, no fridge, no learning curve. Same active ingredients as injectable versions.

Are strips as effective as injections?

For most peptides, sublingual delivery (under the tongue) bypasses digestion and absorbs through the tissue under your tongue. Effectiveness is similar. We only offer strips for compounds that we believe are unaffected by a sublingual delivery mechanism.

How long does a strip take to dissolve?

60 to 90 seconds.

What time of day should I take it?

The timing depends on the peptide. CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin is most commonly used in the evening, before sleep. PT-141 is used 30 to 90 minutes prior to intended effect. GLP-1 peptides like Tirzepatide and Retatrutide are used in the morning on a weekly cadence. NAD+ and Glutathione are typically used in the morning. Wolverine and Glow are flexible, with stronger reported absorption on an empty stomach.
