Koru Strips - Awaken Mind and Body

While the energy/caffeine product market began humbly as just drinks, the sector has exploded in the last few years and new non-drink products continue to come out. With this in mind, we’ll be checking out Koru Energy Strips today. Koru Energy strips promise to “Awaken [the] Mind and Body” and offers people caffeine through tiny strips, similar to the popular Listerine breath strips. Their site explains how the caffeine enters the body faster by being absorbed through the tongue’s mucus membrane, but doesn’t seem to say how MUCH caffeine is in each strip. (Worry not, we sent off an email requesting this information, hopefully they’ll get back soon.) Now that we have a little background on how it works, let’s put try it out!

The Koru Strips come in a small plastic pouch with a face that looks like something you’d find in a Mayan ruins. The face is adorned with designs and prominently displays his tongue, which is where the strips go. Upon ripping open the bag, I found that the pouch contains four smaller packs, and more importantly, a sticker! Yes, they have included a sticker!

Koru Energy Strips and Sticker

The sticker comes with a warning on the back warning us not to stick it on your tongue, and explains that only the strips go on your tongue. If only I had checked the warning sooner… Anyway, each smaller pack (four smaller packs come in each large pack) has one strip. The strip is small and rectangular, and is smooth and white colored, with “KORU” watermarked across it.

The strip dissolves pretty fast once you put it on your tongue. It seemed to be a little minty at first, but it’s actually mildly licorice flavored. I’m talking old school licorice, not the red Twizzlers stuff. The taste isn’t overwhelmingly strong though, so don’t be put off if you don’t like licorice. After it dissolved, I felt a slight kick and felt more alert. The packaging says if you need to take more than one, then do so. So I took a second. I’m starting to feel it a little more, but I’d still like to no for sure how much caffeine is in these strips.

"Don't stick this on your toungue"

Overall, Koru Instant Energy Strips are a pretty sweet product and it’s a clever idea. They’re small and convenient, they act fast, and they’re not nasty tasting or anything like that. If you want to grab some strips for yourself for 2.99 GBP (it’s a foreign based company) at the Koru site or get them from the kind folks at Chemical Evolution who sent us the sample for $2.99.

Enlyten Energy Strips come in a small case that slides open to reveal 22 individual green strips. The strips are the same size as the breath strips on the market, only these aren’t smooth and plasticy; they’re a little rougher and have the texture of paper. They do however, have a fantastic minty taste that will fight any bad breath. The case suggests that you can place the strips between the gum and cheek, or on the tongue. I personally would suggest only putting them on the tongue, as when I put them between the cheek and gums, it got mashed, clumped up, and stuck to my teeth. (However, putting it between the cheek makes the caffeine get absorbed faster, so for best results, go with the gums/cheek method.)I had to brush my teeth to remove the green globbish mass of energy strip, and subsequently became depressed that I had to sacrifice a strip to my toothbrush .It’s all good now because I still have 20 left.

The strip instantly begins to dissolve on your tongue, and delivers the caffeine while the strip dissolves. It takes a few minutes for it to disappear completely, and it makes your saliva glands act up a little as well, so don’t take one of these as you’re delivering an important business seminar to get that foreign investor to cough up a few million dollars to your company. I would however, take the strips beforehand to get some energy, as any savvy investor loves fresh breath and energy.

These energy strips contain zero calories, and each serving (3 strips) contains 150% of your daily dosage of Vitamin B6, and 125% of vitamin B12. Three strips also contain a total of 32mg of a blend of caffeine, ginseng, and gingko biloba.

Enlyten also makes strips with electrolytes, melatonin, and antioxidants. You can buy this fantastic product online, and one of Enlyten’s distributors, Mark V, has been kind enough to offer a free case (22 strips) of one of their products with every purchase of 1 pack (4 cases, 88 strip).
