Veru Wellness Multi Vitamin Plus Daily Patch - Time Release Self Adhesive Patch, 8-10 Hours (60 Count)

Have not used ss bought for future surgery but seem fine!

I can tellWhen I am using these.I love that the acid doesn’t have to go through your stomach.

The idea of a vitamin patch is super interesting—I know that most brands of iron supplements can give me nausea, and I have a specific issue with absorbing vitamin B12 through the stomach. Right off the bat, those are two things I’d love to have available in a non-oral formulation. So I was happy to see that these two things are in this vitamin patch.However—I’ll show the back label photo here because it’s not on the description page—the amounts of vitamins in the patch are quite low, measured in micrograms rather than milligrams. The patches are also very small, basically a square inch, so there’s a limit to the amount of adhesive surface that you can pack these vitamins into. Just doubling the size of the patch to 2x2 inches would quadruple the amount of surface area that could deliver the vitamins and the amounts that could be used. Maybe this small amount formulation could be marketed to kids who can’t take pills (in consultation with doctors because I really have no idea what amounts of what are in the RDA for kids).The labeling of the Omega-3s is also confusing. EPA and DHA are omega-3s, so I’m not sure why they are listed separately (and in much larger amounts) than “omega-3 fatty acids”—they should be shown as a subcategory.The patch itself sticks well and has a lovely soft texture. I could see myself petting it as a “stim”—I work from home/through videoconferencing and no one can see my stomach, luckily. I have no idea how much of the vitamin content is being delivered, but it’s such a small amount compared to what I normally take of these vitamins that I may not feel any difference. At least they do say that one can wear more than one patch at once.

If you have the slightest of sensitive skin, this patch will cause irritation. Was unable to wear long enough to find out effectiveness.

I don't like plastic patch, I like the fabric where it is easy to take off the paper and not screw up the patch. It is still working properly with my iron deficiency. Will keep it going. Highly recommend for anyone who need improve the iron deficiency, this patch will work!

I’m 70 years old and have taken reflux meds for probably over 30 years. Now my gut doesn’t absorb nutrients like it should, so if I use the patch it bypasses my gut. I’ve used these for a couple of years. Love them.

I will start this review out by saying there is substantial scientific evidence showing that transdermal patches for daily vitamins do not work well. Despite that, I went into this with an open mind. I tried using these for 30 days and there was no noticeable improvement in any of my vitamin or nutrient counts on a blood draw. That is indicative to me that these do not work. I would strongly discourage others from using these. They are more expensive than over the counter. One a day vitamins which work far better

Have been using it for 1 year seems to be working great
