THE SCIENCE

HOW IT WORKS

Nicotine is absorbed through the mucous membranes lining the mouth. When a nicotine product is placed against the gum or upper lip, nicotine passes directly into the bloodstream through the tissue, bypassing the digestive system entirely.

This is why oral nicotine products work faster than patches and more consistently than gum. There is no chewing mechanism required, no activation ritual. Contact with tissue is the mechanism.

The variables that determine how well this works are straightforward: surface area, nicotine concentration, moisture content, and duration of contact. STRP is engineered around all four. Ultra-thin form maximizes surface contact. Nicotine concentration is available in two clinically relevant doses, 3MG and 5MG. Moisture content is optimized for consistent release. And duration is fixed at 45 minutes, the window where nicotine concentration in the bloodstream peaks and sustains before declining.

Most products leave these variables to chance. We did not.

WHY ULTRA-THIN

The bulk of a traditional pouch is not a design choice. It is an engineering limitation that was never solved. A thicker pouch requires more filler material to hold its shape, which increases visible lip protrusion, increases discomfort during extended wear, and creates a social visibility problem that limits when and where the product can be used.

STRP eliminated the filler. The strip holds its form through the active ingredients alone. The result is a product thin enough to sit undetected against the upper lip, flat enough to not affect speech, and small enough to forget you are wearing it.

This is not a cosmetic improvement. It is a functional one. A product you will not remove early is a product that delivers its full duration.

THE 45-MINUTE WINDOW

Forty-five minutes is not an arbitrary number.

The research on nicotine and cognitive performance consistently points to a specific window. Nicotine reaches peak plasma concentration approximately 15 to 30 minutes after oral absorption begins. The performance benefits, sharper focus, faster processing speed, improved working memory, track closely with that concentration curve. They peak. Then they decline.

Most nicotine pouches are engineered for 30 minutes. That is the tail end of the absorption curve, not the performance window. You are getting the decline, not the peak.

STRP is engineered for 45 minutes. That aligns with the most common high-performance work unit, the deep work sprint, the training block, the pre-competition window. You place it, you perform, it finishes when you do.

This is what precision delivery looks like. Not more nicotine. Better timing.

INGREDIENTS

No tobacco. No tobacco-derived ingredients. No fillers. No unnecessary additives.
