Vitamins in a Patch?

Has anyone tried the Patches from patch MD? They have Multivitamin, Calcium and more in a patch form. I have such a hard time remembering to take my calcium tabs I am thinking of getting it. Wondering if anyone has tried them and what you think.

You are correct. The Vitamin and supplement industry has a well funded and powerful lobby that has managed to keep vitamins/supplements away from the prying eyes of the FDA. I just grabbed my bottle of B12, from a nationally recognized brand, and it has the same exact label - all of them do.
