Thank you so much for your response. I was thinking the same, so much more convenient to travel with them... but only if they work. I will give them a shot and then have labs run.
Thank you so much for responding!!!! I really appreciate your feedback!!!
I don't know about PatchAid specifically, but for transdermal vitamins in general, they seem to work for some people, but not for others. I've never tried them, although I do have some at home that I got from a conference that I may use for a trip sometime since it's kind of a pain lugging a bunch of vitamins around. Plus if I'm one of those for whom they don't work that well, a few days or a week isn't going to be a problem.

I went several years using the PatchMD brand vitamins, and my labs were good. Back then they were the only brand of patch vitamins. I stopped using them because the quality slipped -- they just weren't sticking well.
Maybe 2 years ago I started using the PatchAid, but only the Calcium/D3 patch. I use regular vitamins for everything else. I had full labs done in November, at my bariatric program, and everything was good. My D3 was a little high, out of range, but not high enough to alter anything. My bone density scan shows a marked improvement over the last one 5 years ago. The bariatric doc was happy, and had no problems with me using the PatchAid.

Hi-is anyone using PatchAid vitamins? Do they work? Meaning did anyone have labs done recently and they made a difference?
