Multivitamin Patch
PatchAid
Overview
The PatchAid Multivitamin Patch provides a comprehensive blend of vitamins and minerals to support overall health. While the patch delivery system aims to improve bioavailability, scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness is scarce, and some minerals are present in less bioavailable forms. Therefore, the overall effectiveness is moderate and may vary among individuals.
The Good
Convenient once-daily application simplifies supplementation regimen.
Avoids gastrointestinal discomfort associated with oral supplements.
Provides a broad spectrum of essential vitamins and minerals.
The Bad
Bioavailability via topical patch is less studied compared to oral supplements.
Potential for skin irritation or allergic reactions at the application site.
Magnesium and Zinc are in oxide forms, which have lower bioavailability.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals who have difficulty swallowing pills, those seeking an alternative delivery method for vitamins, bariatric patients
Skip If: You have sensitive skin, known allergies to patch adhesives, or prefer traditional oral supplementation.
