PatchMD patches are vitamin supplement patches that you wear on the skin. PatchMD designed to help people that have digestive issues and malabsorption. Formulations range from treating Iron deficiency to kid’s multivitamins, as well as specific ‘thematic’ formulations (e.g. Energy Boost with B12). Only 1 patch a day for consistent nutrient bioavailability throughout the day or night. Uses Mylan patches as underlying mechanism. Mylan strives to design, develop and manufacture high quality, innovative transdermal drug-delivery systems—adhesive patches that deliver medication through the skin. These medicines treat a variety of conditions across several therapeutic categories.
The patch features a contact layer specially designed to create the perfect environment for immediate delivery of beneficial supplements into the body. The layer's exclusive, all-natural adhesive allows the patch to be worn anywhere on the body and to stay in place throughout the day. The supplemental nutrient reservoir matrix layer provides steady, timed release of supplemental ingredients throughout the day, ensuring high bioavailability of essential nutrients for optimal health and lifestyle.

Ideal for consumers who may have allergies (gluten or lactose) or who want an alternative to larger prenatal or multi-vitamin capsules.
Transdermal patches allow vitamins to be delivered directly into the bloodstream- avoiding the stomach and digestive system that destroys and degrades the active ingredients
Several controlled clinical studies support the fact that transdermal patches may be a superior delivery method for taking vitamins and supplements (tested B12 ,C and D3). Patch technology can get as much as 95% of the supplement to the cells, versus as low as 5% for an oral pill
