As an NSF-certified (NSF/ANSI 455-2 Good Manufacturing Practices, GMP) contract manufacturer based in the USA, Nutrastrips guarantees exceptional quality and safety in every strip and ensures that you receive the best in nutritional supplement technology.
Oral dissolving strips—a new way to take dietary supplements.
The innovative FlashRelease™ technology allows the strips to dissolve quickly in the mouth – without water and without swallowing. This format offers a convenient and modern alternative to traditional dosage forms.
FAQ
1. What are oral dissolving strips and how do they work?
Oral dissolving strips are thin film strips that dissolve directly on the tongue and quickly release active ingredients. They do not require water and bypass the traditional digestive tract for faster absorption.
2. What advantages do these strips offer compared to tablets and capsules?
Oral dissolving strips offer rapid absorption, easy application without water, precise dosing, high portability, and comfortable intake without the hassle of swallowing.
3. What ingredients are possible and how is the strip form formulated?
The strips contain natural polymers such as pullulan or cellulose, saliva stimulants such as citric acid, natural flavors and colors, and sweeteners such as stevia.
Any water- or oil-soluble ingredient that is effective at a dosage of 100 mg or less.
Not all ingredients are suitable for this format. We test solubility, taste, and stability during the concept phase to ensure consistently high product quality.
4. What dosages are possible?
Strips are designed for functional dosing and enable precise and consistent delivery of active ingredients.
Depending on the formulation, the recommended daily amount can be spread over several strips. The specific dosage is determined individually during product development, but cannot exceed 100 mg.
5. What flavors are available?
Classic and neutral flavors such as mint, citrus, berry, and others are available.
Possible variants are:
- free of sugar,
- no artificial colors,
- with natural flavorings.
6. For which product categories are strips particularly suitable?
The strips can be used in many functional categories, e.g., sleep support, focus & memory, energy, beauty, immune system, mood, or even for pets.
7. Why are oral dissolving strips particularly interesting from the end user’s point of view?
Oral dissolving strips offer end users several clear advantages over traditional dosage forms such as tablets or capsules:
Contemporary alternative: For many consumers, strips appear more innovative and modern than traditional dietary supplements.
Easy to use: The strips dissolve directly in your mouth no water required. This makes them ideal for on the go and for situations where tablets are impractical.
No swallowing required: Many people find swallowing tablets unpleasant. Strips completely avoid this problem.
Onset of action: The active ingredients are released in the oral cavity and can be absorbed more quickly than with traditional oral forms.
Pleasant user experience: Modern flavors and the thin film format ensure a positive, non-medical intake experience.
Compact format: The individually packaged strips are lightweight, discreet, and fit easily into any bag.
8. Where are the strips manufactured and what quality standards apply?
Nutrastrips manufactures in the USA in an NSF/ANSI 455-2 GMP-certified production facility that meets the highest quality and safety standards.
9. Can individual formulations or flavors be created?
Yes – Nutrastrips offers customized recipe development and adaptation to brand requirements, including flavor, color, and active ingredient combinations. You can come up with your own recipe or work with us to develop a tailor-made solution.
10. Are there minimum order quantities (MOQ)?
The MOQ depends on the specific project and is determined on a case-by-case basis.
11. What types and sizes of packaging are available?
1. Single strip pouches
Each strip is packaged in its own individually sealed pouch to preserve freshness, extend shelf life, and ensure product safety. We offer several customizable sizes.
2. Retail packaging
There are almost unlimited possibilities for retail packaging. We would be happy to discuss the various options with you and ensure that the strips fit perfectly into your chosen packaging.

12. How does Nutrastrips support market entry or certification?
Nutrastrips manufactures according to GMP standards and provides documentation. Regulatory requirements are considered individually depending on the project and target market.
13. Is there any content about scientific studies or evidence?
The “Science” page explains how oral dissolving strips technology improves absorption and ease of use, including references to bioavailability-related research.
14. Which countries do you deliver to and how is international delivery organized?
We supply B2B customers internationally. Delivery is generally possible to most European countries and other selected markets worldwide.
Please note that legal requirements, labeling requirements, and permitted ingredients may vary from country to country. The brand owner is responsible for local market approval and compliance with the respective national regulations.
Upon request, we provide product-related documentation (e.g., specifications, GMP certificates) to facilitate import and market launch in the respective target markets.
15. Where can I get an initial price indication for a project?you deliver to and how is international delivery organized?
An initial price indication can be provided after we review the key project parameters, such as formulation complexity, dosage, flavor requirements, packaging format, estimated order volume (MOQ), and target markets.
To ensure an accurate and realistic estimate, we typically ask partners to submit a short project brief outlining their requirements. Based on this information, we can provide a preliminary pricing range and outline the next steps for development and production.
Final pricing is confirmed once the formulation, specifications, and production scope are fully defined.
16. Is it possible to order samples or a pilot batch before full production?
Yes. Depending on the project scope and formulation requirements, it is possible to provide samples or produce a pilot batch prior to full-scale production.
Pilot batches are typically used to evaluate formulation feasibility, taste, dosage accuracy, strip performance, and packaging compatibility. This step also allows both parties to align on specifications before proceeding with larger production volumes.
Availability, quantities, timelines, and associated costs depend on the complexity of the formulation and project requirements and are discussed individually during the project evaluation phase.
17. What are the typical production and lead times? production?
Production and lead times depend on several factors, including formulation complexity, customization level, packaging requirements, regulatory scope, and order volume.
As a general guideline, pilot batches and initial sample production typically require several weeks after final specification approval. Full-scale production lead times are confirmed once the formulation, packaging, and quantities are finalized.
Timelines are communicated transparently during the project evaluation phase to ensure proper planning and coordination on both sides.
18. Why is a technical brief or project specification required to start development?
A technical brief or project specification is required to clearly define the scope, requirements, and objectives of the project before development begins.
It ensures alignment on key parameters such as formulation goals, target dosage, ingredient selection, flavor profile, packaging format, regulatory considerations, and intended markets. This structured approach helps avoid misunderstandings, reduces development risks, and allows for accurate feasibility assessment, timelines, and cost estimation.
Providing a technical brief enables an efficient development process and ensures that the final product meets the agreed specifications and quality standards.
