AI-brand Strippies at Expo West - oral strips vs gummies?
Just saw this article about Strippies launching oral strips at Expo West. They're calling it the next lifestyle habit. Anyone tried oral strips? Seems like a different delivery method compared to our beloved gummies. Thoughts?
Oral strips are already a thing in nootropics. Strips dissolve faster than gummies, but bioavailability might be better? I'm sticking with gummies because they taste better, but Strippies could be good for people who hate chewing.
I'm skeptical. The article says "AI-native" which sounds like marketing fluff. Under the tongue absorption can be effective for some nutrients, but many vitamins need stomach acid. Also, strips often contain artificial sweeteners. Would need to see 3rd party testing.
DIY-wise, making strips at home would be tricky. You'd need a drying process and the right binders. Gummies are easier to make with gelatin or pectin. Strips might be more portable though. I'd wait for reviews.
As a gym rat, convenience is key. Strips could be easier to take post-workout without water. But gummies have calories that help with recovery. Wonder if Strippies has a protein strip? If not, gummies still win for me.
