Do Vitamin Patches Actually Work? (Hint: The Answer is Yes)

It’s a question everyone has asked: do vitamin patches work? Look, we get it. We’ve asked the same question ourselves. And the answer we’ve found is that not only do vitamin patches work, they’re amazing.

With all the different health fads that come and go, it may be tempting to think that vitamin patches are too good to be true. Is it truly possible to get all my nutrients from a fancy sticker? Can one patch really cure a hangover? Do vitamin patches work, like actually work?

The answer is yes, and here’s everything you need to know about them. (But don’t take our word for it. You can read and research all you want — if you want to actually experience the real health benefits, try a starter pack). 

How Do Vitamin Patches Work?

Any idea what the largest organ in your body is? Go ahead, take a second and come up with a guess.

Got it?

You sure?

If you guessed your skin, you’re absolutely right (if you guessed your heart because you have such a large capacity for love, we also respect that answer).

But yes, the skin. That’s where transdermal vitamin patches do their best work. Turns out our skin is made up of 19 million skin cells, 650 sweat glands, 20 blood vessels, and 1,000 nerve endings (numbers!). In addition to regulating body temperature and protecting internal organs, your skin also regenerates itself every 28 days (kind of gross to think about but also kind of cool, like a snake).

When it comes to vitamin patches, your skin also offers a unique opportunity—it’s porous, meaning that it can absorb things through its surface. Things like...yup, vitamins and nutrients. So, do vitamin patches work? Yes. How do they work? Through 4 distinct layers responsible for delivering vitamins through your skin. Those four layers include:

• Layer 1 (The Clear Liner) - This is the sticky part that holds the patch to your skin for up to 12 hours, giving the vitamins time to penetrate your skin.
• Layer 2 (The Ingredient Reservoir) - This actually contains the vitamins and other ingredients.
• Layer 3 (The Release) - Think of this section like a filter that controls the extended-release technology, making sure the vitamins gradually enter your body.
• Layer 4 (The Protective Layer) - This last layer is the clear, protective backing that keeps the patch safe and prevents evaporation.

If you’re currently taking pills (which are notorious for containing harmful additives that can impede the absorption of the actual vitamins) or hypodermic injections, vitamin patches are a much easier way to make sure your body is getting everything it needs. Research has even shown that transdermal delivery can prevent the liver from prematurely metabolizing certain ingredients — a common occurrence with oral methods. 

Patches are safer, less painful, and generate less medical waste than injections or IVs. They are easy to apply, can be used for longer periods of time, and are generally inexpensive when compared to these other methods.

Transparency You Can Trust

Our patches aren’t the only things that are transparent.

Yes, vitamin patches are a safe and effective way to deliver nutrients to your body. But that’s just the beginning. At OnMi, we don’t want to only answer those asking do vitamin patches work. We also want to show you how they work and why they work.
