Vitamin Patch Question

I've been considering discussing with my surgeon the possibility of switching over some/all of my vitamins to the patch.  I have very sensitive skin and deal with chronic psoriasis which is currently pretty well under control.  Anyone have input as to whether the patches may or may not be a good fit for me?

All you can do is buy and try some. I usually am sensitive in past and have no problems with the patches. Also my lab results prove for me the patches work very well.

In fact, I had to back off the iron patches to every other day, since the absorption is so much better than oral iron.

Hi pr31,

I agree you can try it and see.  I have sensitive skin and also switch the location of the patches and never wear them in the same place twice.  So far no issues....

Hi Pr31, 

I found this on the FAQ page....

Will the Topical Patch irritate my skin?

The Topical Patches made by PatchMD are specifically designed to stay on your skin for 12 hours without causing any irritation or discomfort.

In addition, the price paid for the patches will be refunded to you thanks to PatchMD's money back guarantee. We want our patches to be a positive benefit in your life and not a negative.

Not to change the subject, but I have been looking at these, which ones do we need to take?

Hi Ceci,

It's up to you and your surgeon and where you are on your weight loss. I am 12 years out and I take the following:

Multi

D with Calcium

I do liquid Iron...  but there is a patch. 

Always do blood work on a regular basis and when you see a drop up that vitamin.
