Transdermal vitamin patches contain a formula of vitamins and nutrients that are absorbed through the skin and directly into the bloodstream. The patch uses a matrix of ingredients that allow for a controlled release over a 24-hour period.
Apply the patch to a clean, dry, and hair-free area of the skin, such as the back, shoulder, arm, or hip. Avoid areas that are rubbed by clothing or subject to excessive sweating.
Transdermal patches are generally considered safe for most people. However, as with any supplement, it's important to use them as directed and consult with a healthcare professional before use, especially if you have underlying health conditions, are pregnant, or are taking other medications.
It is not recommended to use more than one patch at a time unless specifically instructed by a healthcare professional. Using multiple patches can lead to an overdose of vitamins and nutrients, which can be harmful.
A healthcare professional can perform blood tests to determine if you have any vitamin or nutrient deficiencies. Symptoms of deficiencies can vary widely and may include fatigue, weakness, and changes in skin and hair.
