What does everyone think about the vitamin patches?

They have worked awesome for me so far. Post op and over the first couple years, my iron was always low, my d low, etc. I switched to the patch hoping the supposedly better absorption would help, and love not having to swallow the pill. I rememberd most days over that first month, but for sure forgot some days. Had my labs pulled. Everything was in range except the D, and I just barely missed that. My iron was mid range too- I have NEVER had that good of a reading. I'm a believer. They have a code for 40% off, I think it is patch40 or patchmd40.

Omg I HATED the chewables. My body literally couldn't keep them down. Loving the patches - so easy and love not having to take a pill.

Thank you...I've gotten so much positive feedback now that I'm going to switch. My stomach can't handle the chewables either.

I just ordered the D3/Calcium one, figured I'd give it a try, since I cant' stand any of the calcium chews I have tried.

Took a few tries and some digging, but I did find the code for 40% off @ patchmd.com :) - It is pmd40

Thanks, Happy, for letting us know it was out there! :)

Thank you so much. I'm going to switch because I just can't stomach the chewables.

Working well for me so far. I've been using the patch for 3 months and my land came back good. Everything in range.
