Do vitamin patches effectively deliver nutrition? Here's the professional take on their efficacy.

In the world of health and wellness, a new trend is emerging that promises to make vitamin consumption easier and more efficient than ever before. Enter transdermal patches, a innovative solution developed by BRAINS & BEAUTY - barrière, a company known for formulating scientifically-backed vitamins and adaptogens.

These thin, plaster-like patches, similar to traditional bandages, are designed to be peeled, stuck on clean and dry skin, and left there for the day or night. They have been gaining popularity among health enthusiasts and beauty aficionados alike, thanks to their convenience and effectiveness.

One such product is The Whatsupp Co Dip Out Chill Patches. These patches contain natural ingredients known to aid sleep, such as magnesium, Ashwagandha extract, valerian root, vitamin B2, and vitamin D. These components work together to help make you feel brighter and more energetic, making them a favourite for those seeking a good night's sleep and a boost of energy in the morning.

Kerry, deputy editor at GTG, is a fan of these patches, as are other team members like Isla, content coordinator at GTG, who have tried the Barriere Hello Sunshine Vitamin D3 patches. These patches contain vitamin D3 and vitamin K2, which work together to increase immunity and energy, and strengthen bone health.

For those looking to manage their appetite and boost energy levels, Kind Weightless Patches could be the solution. Marketed as appetite management patches, they are designed to curb cravings and contain berberine, pomegranate, cinnamon, and a vitamin-B complex to up energy levels and increase metabolism.

Another offering from The Whatsupp Co is the Protect Your Energy Patches, a favourite for maintaining energy levels throughout the day. These patches contain three types of B vitamins, 5-HTP, ashwagandha, green tea extract, and have complementary aromatherapy scents.

The science behind these patches involves multiple thin and semi-permeable layers infused with medication, which allow the medication to pass through the skin and into the bloodstream. This direct bloodstream absorption ensures the body can grab what it needs without recruiting first-pass liver metabolism, making even tiny doses through the skin potentially effective.

However, it's important to note that not all vitamins should be delivered in patch form, as molecules over 500 daltons cannot effectively penetrate the skin barrier. Additionally, differences in skin biology, health, and lifestyle can impact how well vitamins are absorbed through the skin, making the results of transdermal patches highly variable from one person to another.

Despite these variables, consistency in using vitamins is key to their effectiveness, and vitamin patches may have the edge for most people as they are far easier to incorporate than tablets. They don't need to be taken with or without food and can be stuck on at any time of the day.

Moreover, these patches are convenient and travel-friendly. They come in various designs, such as the finely illustrated line designs on Barriere Hello Sunshine Vitamin D3 patches or the calming scent on The Whatsupp Co Dip Out Chill Patches. And for those concerned about the environment, The Whatsupp Co Dip Out Chill Patches are fully-recyclable.

In terms of pricing, The Whatsupp Co Protect Your Energy Patches cost £18 for 15, Kind Weightless Patches cost £12 for 30, Barriere Hello Sunshine Vitamin D3 patches cost £10.79 for 36, Kind Patches Recover Patches cost £12 for 30, and The Whatsupp Co Dip Out Chill Patches cost £18 for 15.

Medical studies have proven the efficacy of medical transdermal patches, and it seems that these beauty and wellness patches are set to follow suit. As more people discover the convenience and potential benefits of these patches, it's likely that transdermal patches will become a staple in many health and wellness routines.
