The dose on the box,
delivered.
Most supplements are sold on what's in the bottle. The harder question is how much of it ever reaches your blood. Here's the physiology, and why a strip changes the answer.
Your liver taxes
the dose.
Swallow a capsule and it travels through your gut to the liver before it ever reaches circulation. That's first-pass metabolism. For many compounds, only ~35% of the labelled dose survives that journey. The rest is broken down before it can do anything. The number on the panel and the number in your blood are two very different numbers.
Under your
tongue.
The mucosa under your tongue is one of the most permeable surfaces in the body, fed by a dense capillary bed that drains straight into systemic circulation, bypassing the gut and the liver entirely. Delivered this way, the same compounds reach up to 90% bioavailability*. It's the same physiology behind clinical sublingual films and why B12 is routinely given under the tongue.
Bypass the gut.
Hit the bloodstream.
Pills dissolve in your stomach. Most of the active never makes it out. A strip dissolves on your tongue and absorbs straight through the membrane, skipping first-pass metabolism entirely.
Why we hold
ourselves to five.
"Feel it in 5" is about how fast the actives reach your bloodstream, minutes, not the hours a swallowed pill needs. The strip dissolves on your tongue in under a minute and absorbs straight into circulation. For Sleep and Energy, that speed is something you actually notice: the wind-down, the lift. Glow-Up works on a longer timeline, you won't feel collagen support the way you feel caffeine, but the actives are absorbed just as fast and start their job from the first strip. The point isn't a gimmick onset; it's that nothing is lost to the gut, and nothing hides behind "take it daily for two weeks and see."
Every active,
on the panel.
No proprietary blends, no hiding behind the word "complex." Every dose is the dose on the box. Filter by strip.
Per strip, from the POSG-10001 supplement facts. Glow-Up is a collagen multiplier. It carries no collagen; silicium, tocotrienol vitamin E, HA, biotin, folate and D3 are the cofactors your skin uses to build its own.
