Liquid Pouches vs a Dissolvable Strip
Liquid supplement pouches and dissolvable strips are both ways to take a supplement without swallowing a capsule. A pouch is squeezed into your mouth. A XYNE strip dissolves on your tongue in about 30 seconds. This page compares the two formats, not any one brand.
The short version
- A liquid pouch can hold much more of an ingredient per serving, because it is a liquid rather than a thin film.
- A strip holds less, but needs no water, leaves no packaging per dose, and 30 of them fit in a flat pocket tin.

What we claim about the format, and what we don't
A lot of this category is sold on claims about what a liquid or a film does once it is in your mouth. We make one claim about our format, and you can check it yourself: a XYNE strip dissolves in about 30 seconds. We make no speed or performance claim for a strip, or a liquid, against any other way of taking a supplement.
Where a strip fits, and where it doesn't
Where it fits: nothing to swallow, no water, no powder, no sugar, a pocket tin, and about $1 a day.
Where it doesn't: a thin film can only hold so much. If you want a large amount of one ingredient per serving, a liquid, a capsule or a powder will carry more than a strip can. If that is what you need, buy that instead.
Reading the label
Whatever you compare, check that each active has its own amount rather than sitting inside a blend with one combined total. On every XYNE formula, each active has its own line and its own amount. No proprietary blends.
