InStrips Restore Usage Instructions
Use Restore Peptide Blend for muscle recovery with precise timing to harness biological peaks.
Acute Phase (Injury/Recovery Support)
- Take one strip in the morning after waking (fasted) and one strip before bed.
- Place under your tongue and press to the roof of your mouth until fully dissolved.
- Maintain an 8-10 hour interval to sustain daytime peptide activity.
Maintenance Phase (Ongoing Support)
- Once soreness and mobility improve, switch to one nightly strip before sleep.
- Use the same sublingual method to support overnight repair.
General Notes:
- Do not chew or swallow; allow full dissolution.
- Wait 5-10 minutes before eating or drinking to prevent absorption interference.
Timing Strips with Circadian Rhythms
Mimicking natural hormone cycles boosts peptide receptor responsiveness.
Morning vs. Evening Peak Activity
- Cortisol peaks in the morning enhance circulation; start with a fasted strip to capitalize on this window.
- Growth hormone surges during deep sleep; a pre-bed strip amplifies nocturnal repair.
Dosing Aligned to Sleep-Wake Cycles
For consistent recovery, anchor doses to your wake and sleep times rather than clock hours.
Nutrient State & Sublingual Uptake
Food in your system can change how quickly peptides absorb through the mouth.
Fasted vs. Fed Windows
- Fasted dosing (30-60 minutes before meals) reduces competition with food for mucosal absorption.
- Light, low-fat snacks post-dose can aid sustained release without blocking uptake.
Foods to Avoid or Embrace
- Avoid dairy, high-fat meals, and acidic drinks near dosing times.
- Stay hydrated with water or clear fluids to keep mucosa receptive.

Crafting Your Personalized Schedule
Build a repeatable plan that fits your chronotype and routine.
Sample Timetables
- Early Bird: Strip at 7 AM (fasted), 30 min pre-workout, and 9 PM before bed.
- Midday Trainer: Strip at 9 AM, 30 min before lunch workout, and 10 PM.
- Night Owl: Strip at 12 PM, 30 min pre-evening session, and 11 PM bedtime.
Shift Workers & Travelers
Anchor dosing to waking hours; use light exposure and meal cues to adjust when crossing time zones.

Monitoring & Adjusting
Simple tracking reveals what timing works best for you.
Log Sleep, Performance & Soreness
Record sleep quality, training outputs, and recovery ratings to spot timing impacts.
Refine Based on Feedback
- If you miss a dose, take as soon as possible and return to your regular window.
- Shift subsequent doses by 1-2 hours if needed, avoiding back-to-back dosing.
FAQ
Key timing questions answered.
Can I split my dose?
Yes, divide a full dose into two strips for smoother plasma levels; adjust intervals to maintain total micrograms.
What if I miss my window?
Take your strip as soon as you remember and resume your normal schedule at the next planned time.
How do meals affect strip uptake?
Aim for a 30–60 minute gap before or after meals; high-fat or dairy items can slow absorption.
