STEP 1
Tear open one sachet.
Each Melt is individually wrapped. Open one when you are ready to use it.
ORAL DISSOLVING FILM SCIENCE
The evidence behind every Melt.
See how the format works, what goes into each formula, why the doses were chosen, and what we verify in the finished product.
How to use a Melt.
One strip. Three steps. Nothing to mix or measure.
Individual product directions may vary. Follow the directions on your Meltiva package.
STEP 2
Place the strip as directed.
Remove the film with dry hands and place it in your mouth according to the directions on your product.
STEP 3
Leave the rest to the film.
Let the strip dissolve completely.
No water is needed to dissolve the film itself.
ACTUAL FINISHED PRODUCT
Watch the strip break down.
This is the finished product in real time.
When the film comes into contact with moisture in the mouth, the film-forming system softens and begins to disintegrate, releasing the ingredients contained in it. Oral thin-film performance depends on the formulation and physical properties of the film.
The film disappears.
The ingredient still does the work.
How quickly the film dissolves and how an ingredient behaves after release are two different questions.
Depending on the active and formulation, released ingredients may interact with tissues in the mouth or ultimately be swallowed and absorbed through the digestive system. The format alone does not establish superior absorption for every ingredient.

ONE MELT, OPENED UP
One Melt, from the outside in.
Start with the box. Pull out one sachet. Open it to one serving. Then zoom into the film itself.
One continuous visual should carry the eye from package → sachet → strip → enlarged film composition.
Add one continuous 3D composition
Box → sachet → strip → magnified film
Box → sachet → strip → magnified film
THE BOX
30 Melts. One place.
The outer package keeps your individually wrapped servings together.
THE SACHET
One strip, individually sealed.
The sachet protects the film from handling and environmental exposure until you are ready to open it.
THE STRIP
One pre-portioned serving.
No scoop. No measuring. No counting capsules.
INSIDE THE FILM
The system that carries the formula.
Zoom in to show the functional parts that make the finished film work.
FILM BASE
The dissolving structure
The film-forming system gives the strip its shape and allows it to break down in the mouth.
ACTIVE FORMULA
What the Melt is built around
The active ingredients for that specific formula, with the amounts disclosed on the label.
FLAVOR + FINISH
The part you experience
The ingredients that shape taste, texture and the finished experience of taking the film.
Small format. Deliberate build.
One strip has to carry the formula, hold together in the sachet, taste right, and then disappear when you use it.
WHY A MELT?
Why put a supplement in a strip?
Because the format can remove a surprising amount of friction from taking one.
WHAT THE FORMAT CHANGES
Less between you and taking it.
✓
No pill to swallow
The film breaks down in the mouth instead of being swallowed whole.
✓
No water needed to take the film
You do not need a drink simply to get the serving down.
✓
No mixing or measuring
One strip is already portioned.
✓
One serving is easy to keep close
Each strip is individually wrapped.
✓
No bottle, scoop or shaker
There is less equipment between you and taking it.
WHAT THE FORMAT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MEAN
A Melt does not rewrite biology.
No
Does everything absorb through the mouth?
That depends on the ingredient and formulation.
No
Does a film automatically mean better bioavailability?
A different delivery format alone is not proof of better absorption.
No
Does every Melt work immediately?
Different ingredients have different evidence, mechanisms and timelines.
No
Can you put any formula into a strip?
A thin film has limited physical capacity compared with formats designed for gram-scale ingredient loads. Oral-film formulation requires attention to ingredient load, mechanical properties, stability and disintegration.
We use melts where melts make sense.
The formula has to fit the format. Not the other way around.
A fast-dissolving film is not the same thing as a fast-acting claim.
PHARMACIST FORMULATED
Pharmacist formulated should mean more than a badge.
A pharmacy counter teaches you to look past the promise on the front and start asking questions about what is actually on the back.
The value is not the credential by itself. It is the discipline behind the formula.

PURPOSE
Why is this ingredient here?
Every ingredient should have a defined role in the formula.
FORM
Which exact form are we using?
The generic ingredient name does not always tell the whole story. The form, extract, strain or standardization can determine how closely the ingredient matches published research.
AMOUNT
How much is actually in it?
An impressive ingredient name means less when you cannot see the amount. Meltiva discloses the amounts of its active ingredients rather than using a proprietary blend.
EVIDENCE
What was actually studied?
Ingredient. Form. Amount. Population. Study length. Outcome. Those details determine how closely research applies to the formula in front of you.
OVERLAP
What else might someone already be taking?
Ingredients do not exist in isolation once you start combining products. Shared vitamins, minerals, botanicals and stimulants change total intake.
FILM FIT
Does it actually belong in an oral film?
The ingredient still has to work within the physical constraints of a thin strip.
EXPECTATIONS
What should someone realistically expect?
A study measured after an hour is not the same thing as a study conducted over eight weeks. The timeline is part of the evidence.
THE MELTIVA STANDARD
That became the Meltiva standard.
Clear purpose. Exact forms. Disclosed active amounts. No proprietary blends. No pretending every ingredient has the same level of evidence.
RESEARCH · FORMULATION · TESTING
Three kinds of proof.
Three different questions.
01Ingredient research
What has been studied?
Human studies can help us understand an ingredient, preparation, amount or outcome.
It does not automatically prove the finished Meltiva formula.02Formulation rationale
Why did we build it this way?
This is where ingredient role, form, amount and combination come together.
It explains our decisions.03Finished-product testing
What does the lab find in the actual product?
Finished-product testing evaluates the product against the specifications included in that test program.
It does not prove a health outcome.We keep those lines visible.
A study on one ingredient is not a clinical trial of the finished Melt. A passing laboratory result is not clinical evidence of benefit.
FORMULA EXPLORER
Why these ingredients.
Why these doses.
Choose a Melt to see every active, how much we use, the role it plays, and how closely the available human research matches the ingredient in our formula.
When the research used a different dose, extract, strain, preparation or population, we show the difference.
Closest human evidenceUnusually relevant form, amount or use.
Supporting human evidenceRelevant human evidence exists, with important differences.
Formulation rolePart of the formula, but not presented as a direct dose/form match to human outcome research.
CALM
TRANQUILITY
Built around a calmer state without turning the formula into a sleep product.
L-Theanine75 mg+
Role
Core calm-support ingredient.
What has been studied
Human research has examined L-theanine in relaxation, attention and stress paradigms. A 50 mg study examined EEG activity, while other acute studies have used 200 mg.
How Meltiva compares
Supporting human evidence
View L-theanine research
TRANQUILITY contains 75 mg. That gives us relevant human ingredient evidence, but it is not the same dose as the 200 mg studies.
50 → 75 → 200 mg50 mg — human EEG study
75 mg — TRANQUILITY
200 mg — other acute human research
Different studies. Different endpoints. Dose comparison does not imply equivalent outcomes.
75 mg — TRANQUILITY
200 mg — other acute human research
Different studies. Different endpoints. Dose comparison does not imply equivalent outcomes.
GABA25 mg+
Role
Supporting calm-focused active.
What has been studied
Oral GABA has been studied in human stress/relaxation paradigms, including research using larger amounts than TRANQUILITY contains.
How Meltiva compares
Supporting human evidenceTRANQUILITY uses 25 mg. We therefore treat this as supporting ingredient evidence rather than a direct dose-match claim.
Magnolia Bark Extract10 mg+
Role
Supporting botanical.
Research context
Formulation roleHuman research exists on proprietary preparations combining Magnolia with other botanicals, including Magnolia/Phellodendron combinations. That does not directly establish an outcome for 10 mg of Meltiva's standalone Magnolia extract.
Lavender Oil8 mg+
Role
Supporting botanical and sensory component.
Research context
Formulation roleSome of the best-known oral lavender trials used 80 mg/day of a specific standardized preparation, Silexan, over several weeks. Meltiva's 8 mg lavender oil should not be presented as equivalent to that preparation or amount.
Vitamin B61 mg+
Role
Formulation roleNutritional support within the formula.
ENERGY
IGNITE
Built around a clear acute energy anchor: caffeine.
Caffeine80 mg+
Role
Primary alertness and energy active.
What has been studied
A randomized crossover study gave 22 adults 80 mg of caffeine from coffee, an energy drink, a capsule or a dissolvable mouth strip. Researchers assessed mood/arousal and cognitive performance after administration. Caffeine improved measures including alertness, tiredness and vigilance across caffeine sources.
Why this study is especially relevant
Study amount: 80 mg. IGNITE amount: 80 mg. The study also included a dissolvable mouth-strip caffeine condition.
What it does not prove
Closest human evidence
It was not a study of IGNITE, and it does not establish that the strip format is universally superior to the other caffeine formats.
80 mg. Four formats.COFFEE · ENERGY DRINK · CAPSULE · DISSOLVABLE STRIP

Methylliberine35 mg+
Role
Supporting stimulant active.
What has been studied
A randomized crossover study in 25 healthy adults evaluated 100 mg methylliberine. Subjective measures of energy, concentration, motivation and mood changed at several post-dose time points, while objective cognitive testing did not significantly improve.
How Meltiva compares
Supporting human evidenceIGNITE contains 35 mg. Relevant ingredient research, but not a dose match.
Vitamin B6 + B124 mg · 1 mg+
Role
Nutritional support.
What carries the acute energy story
Formulation roleCaffeine, not the B vitamins.
MOTION
STEADY
Built around ginger for motion-heavy moments.
Ginger Root Extract50 mg+
Role
Core botanical.
What has been studied
Controlled human motion studies have evaluated ginger under experimental motion conditions. One crossover study used 1,000 and 2,000 mg ginger and found changes in nausea-related measures during circular vection.
The important difference
Supporting human evidenceSTEADY contains 50 mg ginger extract, not 1,000 mg of ginger root powder. Those numbers should not be directly compared until the extract ratio and/or active-marker standardization is confirmed.
Specification requiredNeeded before final graph: extract ratio and/or active-marker standardization.
L-Theanine35 mg+
Role
Supporting component.
L-theanine has human research in stress and attention contexts, but those studies are not direct evidence of motion support at 35 mg.
Vitamin B625 mg+
Role
Formulation roleSupporting nutrient.
Lemon Peel Extract + L-Menthol5 mg · 3 mg+
Role
Formulation roleSupporting sensory/formulation components.
GUT
BIOME
Anchored by one of the closest dose matches in the lineup.
Zinc L-Carnosine75 mg+
Role
Core gut-focused ingredient.
What has been studied
In a randomized crossover study, ten healthy volunteers received 37.5 mg zinc L-carnosine twice daily, totaling 75 mg/day, during a five-day indomethacin challenge. The study evaluated changes in gut permeability.
How Meltiva compares
Human study: 75 mg/day. BIOME: 75 mg/serving.
Important context
Closest human evidenceIt was a small study in a specific experimental challenge model. It was not a clinical study of BIOME.
37.5 + 37.5 = 75 mg/dayversus BIOME = 75 mg

Tyndallized L. plantarum34 mg+
Role
Non-viable bacterial component.
The strain matters
Human evidence for L. plantarum is strain-specific. Before this card gets any evidence badge, confirm and publish the exact strain used in BIOME.
Strain
Pending strain verification[TO CONFIRM]
L-Glutamine10 mg+
Role
Supporting formulation component.
Research context
Human gastrointestinal trials of supplemental glutamine have commonly used gram-scale doses. A randomized trial cited in this area used 5 g three times per day, far above BIOME's 10 mg.
What that means
Formulation roleWe should not present 10 mg as a dose-matched glutamine outcome claim.
Vitamin D32,000 IU+
Role
Formulation roleNutritional support within the formula.
CRAVINGS
CURB
The oral format creates an especially interesting Gymnema story.
Gymnema Sylvestre Extract30 mg+
Role
Core sweet-craving botanical.
What has been studied
Human randomized crossover research has evaluated Gymnema-containing dissolving mints. In one study, the Gymnema mint reduced chocolate consumed and changed ratings relating to desire and pleasantness compared with placebo. Longer-use Gymnema-mint research has also been conducted, with mixed findings across endpoints.
The detail we need
Supporting human evidence · direct comparison pendingPublished mint studies characterize the active Gymnema exposure through gymnemic acids. CURB currently lists 30 mg Gymnema extract. We need CURB's gymnemic-acid standardization before claiming that our 30 mg amount matches those studies.
Potential visual after verificationDissolving Gymnema format → sweet taste experience → desire / pleasantness measures → chocolate consumed.
Use only after supplier standardization is confirmed.
Use only after supplier standardization is confirmed.
Saffron Stigma Extract60 mg+
Role
Supporting craving/appetite botanical.
What has been studied
A randomized placebo-controlled study in mildly overweight women evaluated a specific saffron extract at 176.5 mg/day for eight weeks and reported changes in snacking frequency.
How Meltiva compares
Supporting human evidenceCURB contains 60 mg and may not use the same standardized saffron preparation.
Bitter Melon + Cinnamon25 mg · 3 mg+
Role
Formulation roleSupporting formulation components.
Chromium Picolinate200 mcg+
Role
Supporting mineral.
Research context
Formulation roleA placebo-controlled human study evaluating appetite and food intake used 1,000 mcg/day chromium picolinate for eight weeks, substantially more than CURB's 200 mcg.
HYDRATION
HYDRATE
Designed to go with the water you were already going to drink.
HYDRATE is a low-mass oral-film formula. It is not positioned as a replacement for a gram-scale sports drink or oral rehydration solution.
Sodium Citrate50 mg+
Role
Electrolyte component.
D-Glucose25 mg+
Role
Supporting formulation component.
Taurine30 mg+
Role
Supporting active.
Research context
Human exercise studies of taurine generally use amounts measured in grams, not tens of milligrams; a systematic review described acute human doses in roughly the 1–6 g range.
What that means
Formulation roleThe 30 mg in HYDRATE should not be presented as dose-matched to taurine exercise-performance research.
Coconut Water Powder10 mg+
Role
Supporting ingredient.
The amount should not be framed as equivalent to research involving coconut-water beverages.
Magnesium Glycinate4 mg+
Role
Formulation roleSupporting mineral ingredient.
Built for a different job than a powder packet.
HYDRATE is about putting a small, individually wrapped formula beside the water already in your routine, not pretending a thin strip can hold the ingredient mass of a full electrolyte drink.
WHEN WAS THE RESEARCH MEASURED?
Not every ingredient is studied on the same clock.
Some studies measure an acute response. Others look at repeated use over days or weeks. That difference matters.
CaffeineMeasured at 15 min · 45 min
Methylliberine1 hr · 2 hr · 3 hr after the fourth dose

A FORMULA STILL HAS TO BECOME A FILM
Good ingredients on paper are only the beginning.
The formula still has to work inside a thin oral film.
Use real manufacturing and film imagery here. No generic laboratory stock footage.
Add film sheet / cut film / macro texture / sachet sealing media
INGREDIENT LOAD
There is only so much room.
A strip is a low-mass format. Ingredient selection has to respect that constraint.
UNIFORMITY
One strip should represent one serving.
The formulation and manufacturing process have to produce consistent finished units.
STABILITY
It has to hold up before you open it.
Film, formula and package need to remain suitable through the product's intended shelf life.
DISSOLUTION
It still has to disappear properly.
The finished film has to soften and break down as designed.
EXPERIENCE
And you still have to want to take it.
Taste, texture and mouthfeel matter in a format that dissolves in the mouth.
The ingredient has to fit the evidence.
The formula has to fit the film.
Oral-film literature treats mechanical properties, ingredient/excipient selection and disintegration as meaningful parts of film performance rather than incidental details.
TESTING

Every study card uses the same structure. “What is different from Meltiva” is mandatory.
QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING
Questions worth asking.
Clear answers are part of the science.
Are the finished Meltiva formulas clinically studied?+
No. The finished Meltiva formulas have not been clinically studied as complete products. The research shown here evaluates individual ingredients or related preparations. We keep that distinction visible rather than presenting ingredient research as a clinical trial of Meltiva.
Does everything in a Melt absorb through the mouth?+
No. The strip dissolving in the mouth does not mean every active is absorbed through oral tissue. What happens after release depends on the ingredient and formulation.
Does a Melt automatically absorb better?+
No. A different delivery format alone does not establish greater bioavailability.
Does a Melt automatically work faster than a capsule?+
No. The film itself can dissolve quickly. The time it takes for an ingredient to produce a measurable or noticeable effect is a separate question.
The 80 mg caffeine study, for example, observed caffeine effects from coffee, an energy drink, a capsule and a dissolvable strip rather than establishing universal superiority of the strip format.
Then why use a Melt?+
Because the experience still matters.
No pill to swallow. No water needed to dissolve the film. No mixing. No scoop. One individually wrapped serving that is easy to keep close.
We do not need an unsupported absorption claim to make those advantages useful.
Why aren't all Meltiva doses identical to study doses?+
Because a research paper and a finished formula are not the same thing.
Sometimes Meltiva's amount aligns closely with published human research. Sometimes there are meaningful differences. When there is a difference, we show it.
Why don't you use proprietary blends?+
If an active matters enough to include, its amount matters enough to show you.
What does pharmacist formulated mean?+
It means pharmacist thinking is applied to the formula.
Purpose. Ingredient form. Amount. Evidence. Overlap. Cautions. Film fit.
It does not turn a dietary supplement into a medication or a pharmacist into a substitute for your personal healthcare provider.
What does Eurofins testing prove?+
It tells you the result of the tests actually performed on the finished product.
It does not prove that the formula produces a clinical outcome.
Can I take more than one Melt?+
Start by comparing the labels.
Some formulas share ingredients, and IGNITE contains caffeine. Your total intake matters more than the number of boxes in your bag.
How quickly should I expect to notice something?+
It depends on the formula and the ingredient.
We do not put every Melt on the same clock. Where useful, the Formula Explorer shows when the relevant human research measured its outcomes so you can distinguish acute studies from research based on repeated use.
THE STANDARD
Know what you're taking.
See every active. See every amount. Read the research. Open the lab report. Then choose the Melt that makes sense for your moment.
