What are vitamin strips?

Vitamin strips — also called oral thin films (OTF) — are postage-stamp-sized strips that dissolve on the tongue in under 30 seconds. They deliver vitamins, minerals, melatonin, caffeine, and other actives without water, swallowing, or the sugar load of gummies. The format is dominating TikTok Shop because it's small, fast, and films well.

What can you put in a vitamin strip?

Melatonin, caffeine, L-theanine, B12, vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, electrolytes, DHM (hangover), elderberry, magnesium, and most water-soluble actives at doses up to about 50 mg per strip. Fat-soluble actives in high doses are better suited to softgels or capsules.

What is the MOQ for vitamin strip manufacturing?

Our standard MOQ is 2,000 units per SKU. That's the full retail-ready run — formulated, cast, cut, foil-sachet sealed, and labeled — for under what most strip manufacturers quote just for tooling.

Do strips absorb better than capsules?

For sublingual-active actives like melatonin, B12, and caffeine — yes, often noticeably faster onset (20-30 minutes vs 45-60 minutes) because they bypass first-pass liver metabolism. For everything else the bioavailability is comparable to a standard capsule, with the convenience win being the bigger selling point.
