Xyne Health is a direct-to-consumer supplement brand based in Daphne, Alabama, United States. Xyne makes dissolvable supplement strips: each strip is a thin, plant-based pullulan film that you place on your tongue, where it dissolves in about 30 seconds. There is nothing to swallow and no water is required. Xyne is made for people who struggle to swallow pills and capsules, people who dislike the chalky taste and texture of powders and shakes, and anyone who wants a supplement routine they will actually keep. The strips contain no sugar and are sweetened with stevia, monk fruit and erythritol. Each tin contains 30 strips and costs $30.00 — exactly one dollar per serving. Subscribe & Save is 10% off ($27.00 a month), and the first subscription order is $20.00. Every formula is single-purpose, with the active ingredients printed on the label and no proprietary blends. The product line includes strips for Energy, Hangover support, Probiotic and Metabolism, Appetite Balance, Bone Support, Cognitive Relax, Iron, Mushroom Focus, Beauty and Collagen, Sleep, and Intimate Vitality. Products are designed in the USA and manufactured at a cGMP-certified facility. Orders ship in 2 business days with free shipping, and are covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Reviews are collected from verified buyers and independently verified through Judge.me. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Xyne products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
The short answer: Iron is absorbed in your small intestine, and your body carefully controls how much it lets in. That is the same whether the iron came from a pill or a strip — and it should be, because that control is how your body protects itself from taking on too much iron. What a strip changes is the part before that: there is nothing to swallow. It dissolves on your tongue in about 30 seconds, with no water.
WARNING: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. Keep this product out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or a poison control center (1-800-222-1222 in the US) immediately.
Iron is taken up through the lining of your small intestine, just past your stomach. Your body regulates that uptake with a hormone called hepcidin. When your iron stores are full, less gets through. When they're low, more does.
That regulation is a safety feature, not an obstacle. Iron is one of the few nutrients your body has no easy way to get rid of once it's in. So be sceptical of any iron product that advertises a way to "bypass" your gut or get iron "straight into your bloodstream" — that is a claim to have gotten around your body's own overload protection, and it isn't something we claim for our strips.
Iron tablets and capsules come in several forms — ferrous sulfate is the most common and the cheapest. You swallow one with water and it makes its way to your small intestine.
What pills do well: they come in a very wide range of doses; they're inexpensive; they're the format your doctor will usually reach for if you need iron at a specific, measured amount.
The catch: you have to swallow one, every day, often for months. Iron supplements in any form can also upset some people's stomachs — that's worth raising with your doctor or pharmacist rather than guessing at.
An iron strip is a thin film that dissolves on your tongue in about 30 seconds. Nothing to swallow, no water, no tablet stuck in your throat. Once it dissolves, it goes down with your saliva and the iron is taken up in your small intestine — the same route as any other iron supplement.

Both actives and both doses are on the label. No proprietary blends. No sugar — sweetened with stevia, monk fruit and erythritol. Raspberry flavour. Free from the FDA's top-9 allergens, and vegetarian. 30 strips in a flat pocket tin.

Does an iron strip avoid the stomach side effects people get from iron pills?
We can't promise that. The iron in a strip still travels to your gut, the same as iron from a pill. If iron has bothered your stomach before, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about it rather than assuming a different format will fix it.
How much iron is in a Xyne strip?
19 mg of iron as ferric saccharate, plus 400 mcg of folate. Both are printed on the label.
Does an iron strip work faster than a pill?
No, and we don't claim it does. The strip dissolves in about 30 seconds — that describes the strip, not how quickly anything happens in your body.
Can I take iron strips instead of iron my doctor prescribed?
Not without asking them. Prescribed iron is set at a particular amount for a particular reason.
When should I take an iron strip?
Most people take it once a day at whatever time they'll remember. If you take other medication, ask your pharmacist about timing.
Is an iron strip safe to take every day?
For adults, one strip a day is the intended use. Don't take more than one. If you have a condition affecting iron storage, such as hemochromatosis, speak to your doctor before taking iron at all.
Can I take iron strips while pregnant?
Iron and folate needs are different during pregnancy, and this product isn't designed as a prenatal supplement. Check with your OB or midwife.
Are Xyne Iron Strips vegan?
They're vegetarian and free from the FDA's top-9 allergens. See the label for the full ingredient list.
Is there sugar in them?
No. They're sweetened with stevia, monk fruit and erythritol.
