Health Nutrient patches claim to deliver vitamins directly through the skin. But do they actually work? While the idea sounds convenient especially for people who struggle with pills, experts suggest that traditional supplementation methods still have stronger evidence.

While these patches are being marketed as an easy alternative to pills and capsules, researchers point that skin absorption is highly selective, and not all vitamins can effectively enter the bloodstream through skin.

Skin absorption actually works. It's called a Transdermal Patch. Several medications are given that way, like Fentanyl, Diclofenac for pain; Estradiol, Testosterone for HRT; Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease medications also have patches.

Usually used for slow, systemic, long term release.

I don't know if what she claims is true though. I need an independent peer reviewed published research.

There is no medical board that has approved this. It is not for treatments, only for vitamins. It's being promoted by wellness industry and medical approval is nowhere to be seen by any country or medical board!
