    I just got my Vitamin Patches and put the first one on yesterday afternoon. It didn't come with any directions other than where to place it but it was easier for me to place it on my tummy. I got them

    I've been using Patch MD vitamins. 6 month follow-up = Needed vitamin D supplement. 9 month follow-up = Vit D still not optimum and Folate borderline. All other labs normal. Not waterproof. No residue

I'm having my functional medicine doc look into them as being more absorbable than chewed or swallowed vitamins

    I do like buying medication from a practice. Feels like a scam to me. But how do u manage with them? Do u put them in in early a.m. for the whole day? What happens when you go to gym in mid morning and then have to shower? Can u take it off for shower and replace after? Or do u need to open another one? Does the patch leave sticky residue?

I got them from the BP store. I haven't removed it yet so I don't know how sticky it is. I also haven't taken a shower with it on yet either. I got them as they were much less expensive than getting my Dr's horse size Vitamins.

    If u read the website it distinctly says they are not waterproof and u can't shower with them.

    I'm not happy with this service. aid for enhanced shipping and still don't have it after 4 days. I'm going to look for another supplier. Has anyone found them elsewhere?

    My surgeon's practice highly recommends them. They state that if you're on the patch, they will stay on top of your blood work to make sure you're not low on anything but if that becomes the case, they will supplement alternatively. They want everyone to start on the patch though.
