Both products are sublingual drops — they absorb under the tongue and bypass digestion. That makes onset much faster than capsules.
MHODE ON onset
Cooling activation within 1–2 minutes (the menthol layer). Calm focus effect within 5–15 minutes (the caffeine + L-theanine layer). Peak by 30 minutes. Smooth fade over 3–4 hours.
MHODE OFF onset
Initial calming within 15–30 minutes. Deeper effect by 45–60 minutes. That's why we recommend taking it 30–60 minutes before bed.
Why drops, not capsules
Capsules go through stomach → small intestine → liver before reaching the bloodstream. Drops go straight in.
What slows onset
Heavy meal beforehand. Heavy alcohol. Severe sleep debt. None of these block effectiveness — they just slow the curve.
