I sold gummies to my wife's friends. Now I'm selling them this.
A letter from the founder of Out of Office.
THE OPENER
Hi. I'm Mike.
For eight years I've run Out of Office. The wellness gummies. If you're reading this, there's a decent chance you've bought from us. Maybe a friend gave you one at a backyard thing. Maybe you found us during Dry January and stuck around.
The Moment It Clicked
Most of our customers were my wife’s friends.
Not literally. But close. Women in their forties. Two kids, a job, a husband who falls asleep at 9pm. They’d open a gummy at 4pm because the wine wasn’t working anymore and the SSRI made them gain fifteen pounds. They told me this. In texts. At dinners. In the DMs.
I realized the gummy was only part of the conversation. What people were really searching for was a way to feel like themselves again — calmer, clearer, more in control of the transition between surviving the day and actually living the rest of it.

What I Started Noticing
What they kept asking me wasn’t about the gummy. It was about the moment.
The wind-down. The exhale at 4pm. They’d ask me what to take when they needed something clean on a work trip. Or before a Monday morning that needed to start sharp. Or when they were trying to recalibrate and weren’t sure what came next.
They didn’t want a buzz. They wanted what the wind-down used to feel like.
THE PIVOT
So I went looking for what came next.
I’m not a chemist. But I’ve spent eight years reading supplement labels for fun. I called every formulator I knew. I asked one question.
What’s the molecule that does what a glass of wine does at 4pm without the calories, the alcohol, and the next morning?
The answer kept coming back the same. Saffron. At a real dose.
The Dose Story
Most stress supplements use 5mg of saffron. The studies use 28mg.
Here’s what I learned. Saffron has been used for mood for 3,500 years. Avicenna prescribed it. Hippocrates wrote about it for sleeplessness.
The catch is the dose. Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world. So most supplements use 5–10mg and call it “stress support.” We use 30mg — a dose you can feel on the first evening.

- Saffron at 30mg.

- B6 to make it all work.
No 5-HTP. No proprietary blends. No ten ingredients at fractional doses pretending to be a formula.
One capsule. Take it at 4pm. Or 6pm. Or whenever your wine used to land.

This isn’t for everyone.
If you want a buzz, this isn’t it.
This is for the ones:
- Who used to want a gummy at 4pm and doesn’t anymore.
- Running everything in her head.
- Who’s tried magnesium, melatonin, ashwagandha, and the wine-shaped guilt loop.

A FINAL NOTE
One more thing.
If you’ve bought from Out of Office before, thank you. You built this company. You’re the reason I got to spend eight years learning what 4pm feels like for a working mom.
The gummy era taught me something. The wind-down was always the point.
This is the wind-down. Without the asterisks.
— Mike
