During recent times, people have been searching the answers for life’s greatest mysteries. How to live better, how to live healthier, how to have more energy, mindfulness, fitness, and beauty, etc are all top trending questions on the Internet. On the other side of the spectrum, we have questions that solve the mystery of aging, weight loss, etc, making the wellness industry a top trending topic.

The wellness industry was estimated at $4 trillion dollars way back in 2015, and we can’t imagine what the numbers are right now in 2019.

Out of all the searches conducted, there was one that raised a few eyebrows at the beginning. Namely, vitamin patches were introduced to us and they were met with skepticism. Vitamin patches were introduced to us as patches attached to our skin that provides users with nutrients.

What are vitamin patches?

Vitamin patches are adhesive devices that deliver the user a dose of vitamins and minerals as a form of supplement. They are directly attached to our skin and go to our bloodstream. They were firstly approved by The Food and Medication Administration as a form of treating motion sickness way back in the 80s.

But recently, vitamin patches have soared to popularity because they promise the user help with acne, insomnia, poor focus, premenstrual syndrome, hangovers, weight gain, weight loss, and stress. A single vitamin patch can provide lasting results all throughout the day and night.

How to vitamin patches work?

There are a lot of benefits that come with using a vitamin patch. The first and most obvious one is the fact that you don’t have to consume vitamins orally. All you have to do is apply the patch to a clean and dry spot on your skin, preferable positions are the shoulder or stomach, but any place with little to no hair is good. Once applied, the vitamins enter your body through your hair follicles and get absorbed into your bloodstream. One in the bloodstream, the vitamins will migrate towards your hearth, and as soon as they get to it they will redistribute throughout your entire system. This process takes from 4 to 6 hours and can be done at any time of the day or night.

Most vitamin patches are strongly regulated by The Food and Medication Administration and there are certain requirements that they must follow.

Namely, they are required to be Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten Free, Allergen Free, and made in the USA.

Benefits of using vitamin patches

As we mentioned earlier, vitamin patches replace the need for oral intake of vitamins and pills. Vitamin patches can be used to battle vitamin deficiencies and absorb the vital vitamins that you would normally take through pills or other means. They are excellent for boosting your energy levels, they are even better for focus, they can be used to improve sleep, and they are brilliant providers of vital nutrients.

Vitamin patches are predicted to replace pills altogether. Transdermal patches were firstly introduced in the 80s and they are slowly but surely rising towards the status of everyday use.
