I like a vitamin that tastes good, but I could do without the gooey gummy bits stuck in my teeth afterward. Holy Strips offers a different way to take supplements: a thin strip that dissolves right on your tongue. I tried the strawberry Vitamin B12 and natural orange Biotin, and both flavors were delicious.
For this Holy Strips review, the big selling points for me are the taste and how easy they are to use. There’s no chewing, no pill to swallow, and no water needed. If sticky gummy vitamins aren’t your thing, this is a format worth a look.
Disclosure: Holy Strips provided these products free of charge for an honest review.
What Are Holy Strips?
Holy Strips makes oral thin-film vitamins and other dietary supplements. Instead of a capsule or gummy, each serving comes as a thin film in an individual pouch. You place it on your tongue and let it dissolve.
According to the brand’s media kit, each tin contains 30 strips, with one strip per serving. Holy Strips describes its range as vegan, with no added sugar, and free from gluten, soy, dairy, and gelatin. The company also says its products are third-party tested, with certificates of analysis available by batch code.
My Taste Test: Strawberry B12 and Orange Biotin
I tried two varieties: strawberry Vitamin B12 and natural orange Biotin. Both taste delicious, which makes this an easy product to like from a flavor standpoint. I’m usually not a fan of orange flavored things, but I actually like this one!
The strawberry and orange options both have a fruity flavor and no weird aftertaste.
My review is based on those two flavors. I haven’t tried every product in the range, so I can’t weigh in on how the mixed berry or peppermint versions taste.
How to Use Holy Strips
The process is straightforward: open the individual pouch, place the strip on your tongue, and allow it to dissolve completely. No water needed.
The pouches can be a little challenging until you find the side that is made to peel open, so look for the “peel here” mention on the label. It will peel open just above that, and peel in the direction of the arrow.
The individual pouches also keep each strip separate inside the tin, so you take out the one you need rather than handling a whole container of loose vitamins.
Follow the directions on your specific product’s label for how much to take. The products contain different ingredients and amounts, so check the tin rather than assuming every variety has the same directions.
The Holy Strips Range
If you’re curious about the other options, the brand’s media kit lists these five varieties:
- Multivitamin: Mixed Berry
- Vitamin B12: Strawberry
- Vitamin D3 + K2: Orange
- Melatonin: Peppermint
- Biotin: Orange
Checking the Label
The back of the B12 tin lists the supplement facts, other ingredients, directions, and storage instructions. I’ve included a close-up below so you can see the information on the product I tried. Check the current label when purchasing, since packaging and formulas can change.
One useful detail for anyone considering biotin: the FDA warns that biotin can interfere with certain lab tests. Let your healthcare team know about supplements you take, especially before blood work.
Are Dissolvable Vitamin Strips Better Than Traditional Vitamins?
Dissolvable strips aren’t automatically better than capsules, tablets, or gummies, but they may be more convenient for some people. The biggest advantage is the format: you don’t need water, chewing, or a liquid. That can make taking a supplement easier when you’re traveling or when swallowing pills is difficult.
The thin-film format may also be appealing if you dislike the texture of gummy vitamins or want to avoid the sticky pieces that can remain on your teeth. Individual pouches keep the strips separated and make it simple to carry a serving in a bag or purse.
That said, a dissolvable strip isn’t necessarily absorbed better than a traditional vitamin. Absorption depends on the specific nutrient, ingredients, dosage, and your own body—not just whether the supplement comes as a strip, capsule, or gummy. Strips also tend to contain limited amounts of some nutrients because there is only a small amount of space in each film.
If you dislike swallowing pills, don’t want to chew gummies, or prefer a water-free option, a dissolvable strip could be a useful alternative.
My Overall Thoughts
Holy Strips gets a thumbs-up from me for taste and convenience. Both the strawberry B12 and orange Biotin taste delicious, and using them is simple. I actually look forward to taking these vitamins each day! They taste like a little treat.
