Supplement patches

Has any one used patches for their supplements, and had good results with their blood work?

I almost bought them and then read reviews. I read an article that said most vitamins dont pass through the skin. I wish it did. Chewables with iron taste gross

I’m 2 mo post op, been using the patches. Haven’t had blood work yet. Hope it is ok. I’m much more consistent at applying the patches than taking vitamins at certain times of the day. Lol

Yes. I have been using patches since I got home after the surgery. I have had blood work and it has come back completely normal. Please don’t believe articles that state that vitamins don’t absorb through the skin. They are saying that because they are being paid by one or more vitamin companies and don’t want you to buy the patches. I am almost 11 months out.
