Labs are back ... PatchMD seems to be working

I promised to post and let the other PatchMD vitamin patch users know how my labs came out. They are right on themoney other than my Vitamin D being a little low. I see the Endocronologist on Friday and I'm sure she will advise me on what additional supplements I need to add to my daily routine. I am so glad they are getting the job done !!!

If anyone else has been using them and has had labs done, I would be interested in hearing the results as I am considering these - especially when travelling.

If you use them, do you still take calcium supplements on top of them, or just have the calcium that is in them?

What about Iron (since they mix calcium and iron in one patch)?

Has anyone's NUT said anything about them? I asked mine and she just said 'Try them and we'll check your labs' as only one other person at my surgeon's office has asked about them.

For now, I'm still stocked on celebrate capsules for another couple of months and calcium chews for about 6, but might start using the Patches when I travel or when I run out of the other if they prove convenient and reliable...I just really wonder especially about the calcium since it's hard to tell a deficiency until it's too late since your body will just pull from your bones.

I do not take any additional calcium but I do take iron, Biotin, fish oil with Omega 3 & Vitamin D orally. My Vitamin D & iron were both low prior to surgery. I have my labs done again in December so I think that will be the true test.

Thanks for the update!

How's it going ? Haven't seen you on the forum for awhile ...

I just bought the multi and the B 12 today. Had never even heard of them until this post. They're kinda pricey - $40 for 1 month supply of both plus tax and shipping but for now ( 8 days out of surgery) it beats gagging on chewables!

Thanks!

They always offer 40% off by using the coupon code PMD40 ... Next order you will get 40% off ????

Ughhhh! I searched for a coupon code but none worked. :( thanks so much!
