The research, in the open.
Why a strip instead of a can, and what published literature says about our ingredients. Every number links to its source.
This page cites published research about the strip format and individual ingredients, not about Dissolvi products. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
The format: dissolvable strips
Orodispersible films are an established pharmaceutical delivery format, engineered so a precise dose disintegrates in the mouth in seconds, with no water and no swallowing. That format is the entire reason Dissolvi exists.
Seconds
Films disintegrate on contact with saliva, no water needed
