From what I have read, there is mixed information about their effectiveness. Some swear by them and say that their bloodwork is proof that the patches work. Others say there's no scientific proof that they work, citing things that say that the supplements cannot absorb through the skin.

I liked my patches. I felt like they were effective, although I have no real evidence that they did. I also really enjoyed not having to swallow or chew any supplements. The problem is that I developed a sensitivity to the adhesive and had to stop using them.
