Peptides, made simple.

Convenient, no jargon. Here's what peptides are, how a strip that dissolves on your tongue actually works, and how to choose from the full Viva range.

The basics

What peptides are

Peptides are short chains of amino acids. Each Viva strip is a dietary supplement made with a specific peptide or blend, in a needle-free oral strip that dissolves on your tongue.

Viva strips are dietary supplements — not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

The delivery

How the strip works

Most supplements make you swallow a pill and hope your gut absorbs it. Viva takes a different path. You place one strip on your tongue and it dissolves in seconds.

There's nothing to mix, measure or refrigerate — one strip, a few seconds, and you're done. Mouth-to-body, the simple way.

Two paths

A capsule and a strip take different routes

Same goal, different journey. Here is what happens after you take each one.

A capsule

Swallowed
You swallow itThe capsule goes down with water and heads for the stomach.
It reaches the stomachIt has to survive stomach acid before anything else can happen.
Digestion goes to workWhat is left continues through the digestive tract.

A Viva strip

Placed on the tongue
You place it on your tongueNo water, nothing to mix, nothing to measure.
It dissolves in secondsThe strip melts where you put it.
It is absorbed in the mouthThe tissue lining your mouth is rich with blood vessels.

Illustrative. Individual experience varies, and these strips are dietary supplements.

Questions

The practical stuff

How does the strip actually work?

You place one strip on your tongue and let it dissolve — no mixing, no water.

How long does it take to dissolve?

It dissolves in your mouth in a short time. Let it dissolve fully rather than chewing, sucking, or swallowing it whole — and let it finish before you eat or drink.

Does it need refrigeration?

No. Room temperature is fine, at home and on the road — there’s nothing to keep cold and nothing to pack in a cooler.

How should I store it?

At room temperature, away from heat and moisture. Shelf life is about 24 months.

What comes in a box?

10, 20, or 30 individually wrapped strips depending on the strip — the count is on every product page and on the box. Sealed, tamper-evident, and small enough to travel with.

How fast does it ship?

We ship within the United States. Orders are processed in 1–2 business days, and estimated delivery is 3–7 business days after that, depending on your location and carrier. You’ll get tracking by email once it’s on its way — full details in our shipping policy.
