How it Works: Oral Zen's "Biomimetic" Brain Trick

Brain Gets Signal

Familiar taste signals (salt, sour, sweet, lemon) tell your brain "we're eating food"

Salivation Mode = On

Body switches to normal eating mode and produces extra saliva

Gag Reflex = Off

Brain thinks you're eating, so it turns off the protective gag reflex

45 Minute Effect

Salivation mode signal stays active for extended comfort and fun

The Neuroscience Behind Oral Zen

For the Science Nerds: Deep dive into the cranial nerve mechanics and brainstem physiology

Cranial Nerve Network

The gag reflex (pharyngeal reflex) is mediated by sensory nerves, primarily the glossopharyngeal (CN IX) and vagus (CN X) nerves, which trigger a brainstem reflex causing throat contraction.

Chorda Tympani (CN VII)

Salt stimulation at the anterior tongue activates taste receptors via the chorda tympani branch of the facial nerve, hypothesized to inactivate or "dampen" the gag reflex through neural gating in the brainstem.

Trigeminal Nerve (CN V)

Sour (acidic) stimulation activates both taste receptors and the trigeminal nerve due to acidity, causing mild irritant sensation and contributing to the sensory override effect.

Nucleus of the Solitary Tract

When salt or strong tastes hit the tongue tip, they activate taste receptors sending signals to the brainstem's nucleus of the solitary tract. This region overlaps with circuits for swallowing and gagging, enabling neural interference at the brainstem level.

Sour taste heightens oropharyngeal sensory input and triggers swallowing, which suppresses the gag reflex. Mechanistically, sour and other chemesthetic stimuli engage taste and trigeminal nerves, potentially "distracting" or overriding the gag reflex at the brainstem level.

Combined Sensory Barrage

Sour stimulation activates taste receptors broadly (CN VII and IX) plus the trigeminal nerve due to acidity. This combined sensory input creates a powerful neurological "distraction" that can override weaker gag signals.

Mutually Exclusive Reflexes

Swallowing and gagging are mutually exclusive reflexes. The brainstem prioritizes swallowing when strongly prompted, actively suppressing the gag/vomit response during this process.

Eating Mimicry

The salt-sour combination creates a "biochemical mimic" of eating, fooling the brain into suppressing the gag reflex as it would during normal food consumption.

Who we are
We're Verdant Health, a brand new wellness lab based in Denver who believes that sexual health is a critical component of whole-body health, and that fun is always worth pursuing.
We love people and nature, and fucking HATE gimmicky sales tactics and greediness.
We just launched our first product.
We think you're gonna love it.
Why we made it
Being close to people is what makes life rich. We made Oral Zen because we saw firsthand how powerful it is in driving connection. We think sexuality should be fun, and adventurous, and messy, and exciting, and risky, and exciting, and compassionate - and Oral Zen helps with that.

Will Guiadara, the manager who took 11 Madison Park from 50th Best Restaurant in the World to #1, defines service as a selfish act. We agree - serving people feels good (both in, and out of the bedroom). It's delightful to bring others joy. But that doesn't mean we can't use all the tools at our disposal to make it as terrific for both parties as it can be.

Oral Zen sounds like a small thing, but we think it'll result in meaningful improvements in intimacy for millions of couples. And that's an impact that we think is worth working very very hard for. Because we all need more fun an connection.
We also saw (and tried) the other products on the market for this problem. To be honest, they suck. They're bright pink, there's tons of artificial stuff, they don't work, they're sticky and messy and taste like fake apple and have names like GO MEGA DEEP, and they don't feel like a premium product. Google our competitors, you'll see what we mean.
We want to be totally upfront: Oral Zen is not a perfect product yet. It's new. We're new. But it's already the best option on the market. Right now we think it's about 90% effective at blocking the gag reflex (unless you're really trying for it, in which case, power to you!). But we think you'll love it, and if you don't, just shoot us an email and you'll get your money back.
Who it's for
A lot of people don't think they have a problem worth solving in this area. We're here to tell you that's not true.

Remember Blackberry phones? People LOVED those click-clacky keyboards. They said they could never go without it. And then Jobs dropped the iPhone and we all had something that was SO MUCH BETTER, we just didn't know we needed it until it was invented.
Oral Zen is a lot like that. Once you use it, you'll immediately feel the difference and you won't want to go back.
And whether you love "giving" and want to be even more incredible, or you hate it but you do it for your partner and you just want it to be more tolerable, we made this for you.

In our short 3 months of being in business, our customers have included city government officials, EMTs, teachers, real estate professionals, salespeople, tech bros, service workers, homemakers... Pretty much everyone. All genders, all sexualities, all ages (you go grandma!), all walks of life.
And that's the goal: making something that brings a LOT of people even a small amount of joy over and over again results in a LOT of joy created over time.
Have questions?
Shoot us a text or email.
These are both direct lines to our founder.
He'll get back to you in 24h or less.
TBH, this is a passion project. Our founder is trying to leave his tech job to go all-in on health and intimacy. So, we actually really care. Like, a lot. Otherwise we wouldn't be here. So text us :)
