Veru Wellness Topical Patch Duo, Self-Adhesive, 102 Count

Pros: No Sugar No Calories Easy To Use Time Released Adhesive Cons: None What I received in the package: 1 x Pack of Vitamin C Patches 1 x Pack of Glutathione Patches This VERU Wellness product offered a two pack for daily use. These are topical patches that are time release. The Vitamin C pack comes with 60-patches. The Glutathione pack comes with 42-patches. These patches are a great spin on the typical methods of taking your vitamins. What I really like about these is not only the easy of use. But the time released nature of the patches. When applying the patches, I recommend that you apply to to an area of the body that does not have hair or very little. It doesn’t hurt necessarily when I take them off but I could see this being a problem for other users. I tend to put my patches in the same spot and it does leave a bit of residual glue on your skin. Comes off with a shower but it can be a little tacky. I appreciate you taking the time to read this. All in all, these work great for me and my lifestyle. Easy to use and great for camping or traveling so you don’t have to carry around a bunch of pills. Hope this information was helpful. [5 Stars]

Does not stay in place if you sweat

Sometimes patches are a good way to get a supplement in you. I like that this is both a C patch and a glutathione patch that are made. Absorbing those over time is a plus. The patches work fine. Adhere decently. No rashes or itching or such. Remove just fine. No adverse events from use.

Simple to use and no pills to take. Just stick them on your arm or wherever you want and they slowly release the vitamins. You do need to be dry to apply them or they will not stick but they are stated to be waterproof after they are on. If they slowly dispense the vitamins over hours I would think that would be more beneficial to you. They come sealed in packages for freshness so after I open mine I seal them in a Ziplock bag to keep them fresh.

These patches are super easy to use. You just stick them on and you're done! The adhesion works amazing! They don't roll up or try to peel off throughout the day, where you stick it is where it stays. That said, they are also super easy to get off at the end of the day when you're through with them. I haven't had any issues with it trying to pull the skin or anything when trying to remove them. They are also very comfortable to wear. The patch is so thin that you can't even tell you have it on!

This patch has been a convenient way to incorporate antioxidants into my daily routine. I apply the patch in the morning, and it provides a steady release of Glutathione and Vitamin C throughout the day. It’s self-adhesive and easy to wear, and I love that it lasts for 8-10 hours. I’ve noticed a boost in my overall energy and skin clarity since using these patches regularly. They’re perfect with my busy lifestyle and ensures I'm getting the benefits of antioxidants without having to remember to take a pill.

Veru Wellness is a relatively new (their website says it was founded in 2019) Florida company that specializes in the transdermal delivery of vitamins and nutraceuticals. They have a fairly extensive catalog of products formulated as beige-colored, latex-free patches that adhere to the skin. The patches are designed to allow the active ingredients to pass through the skin barrier and enter the bloodstream eliminating the often unpleasant task of swallowing fistfuls of vitamin capsules and tablets. This delivery method could be especially desirable for children and seniors. Additionally, it should be applauded as a keto friendly alternative to the other non-vitamin vitamins, namely gummies. Another advantage of transdermal patches is the consistent and controlled delivery of the active ingredient, avoiding the peaks and troughs associated with oral administration. It also bypasses the digestive system, which can degrade some substances as well as cause GI upset. Since high oral doses of Vitamin C can indeed generate gastrointestinal issues, I was quite excited to try the Veru Wellness Vitamin C patches. Yet, looking at the formulation on the back of the product’s box caused immediate skepticism. The Vitamin C content is listed as 12 mg. That means, the amount of Vitamin C per patch is only 13% of the USDA daily requirement for men and 16% for women. It’s generally understood that transdermal patches require a higher dose compared to oral supplements to compensate for lower absorption through the skin. Even putting the patch permeation factor aside, it would still take 8 patches a day to simply attain the minimum USDA recommended requirement! Now let’s look at the second ingredient in this formulation. The box says the patch also contains 12mg of Vitamin B12. That is 500,000% of the USDA daily requirement for most adults! In other words, the Veru Wellness patch formulation called Vitamin C actually contains a paltry amount of the prime ingredient and an excessive amount of a secondary one. This makes very little sense to me. Now curious, I checked the ingredient list on the back of the package marked Glutathione patches. I ran into a perplexing formulation of many substances other than Glutathione - such as Vit C, Selenium, Molybdenum, Manganese, CoQ10, Milk Thistle, and Alpha Lipoic Acid. Some of these, like Glutathione and CoQ10, do not have USDA guidelines, but contain minuscule amounts compared to their oral equivalents. Others, like Vit B2 and Selenium, are thousands and tens of thousands percent above the oral dose recommendations. Additionally, two of the ingredients, Magnesium Malate and L-Glutathione are spelled incorrectly on the back of the package. This may not seem like a big deal, but if I can’t trust a company to spell the contents correctly, how do I trust that they’ve paid attention to what’s actually put inside? I really like the idea of transdermal vitamin patches, but I don’t think Veru Wellness is ready for prime time yet. The formulations, at least the ones that I have here in front of me, don’t make sense. And there’s no excuse for misspelling the ingredients, especially for a company based in the USA. However, Veru Wellness is a young company and I’d like to give them the benefit of the doubt that they will improve.
