Have Been on the Patch Multivitamin 5 months.
Got some bloodwork back today and all seems steady and good.
A few points:
Vitamin D- I have been Vit D deficient for over a decade pre-WLS. I finally started taking a liquid Vit D supplement and take 20,000mg a day just to get myself in the bottom range of normal. Without changing that dosage and adding the patch, I am now at 86 in a range of 30-100. So I am absorbing the vitamin D from the patch. Very excited about this. Have never had a Vit D this high.
B-12- I was taking 2000mg B-12 sublingually daily prior to the patch. I need to be at the high end of normal or high or I start to get symptoms even though I never bottom out into deficient. When I started the patch- because it has B-12 in it I cut back to one 1000mg sublingual. Well my B-12 has held steady at 1100. So again I am absorbing the B-12 from the patch.
Very happy using the Patch MD vitamin

I know some people on Obesityhelp said it has worked for them. unfortunatley, I had bloodwork done and my Ferretin levels went from 73 in one month to 35.It also doesnt have calcium citrate. I has calcium carbonate. Im sure the other stuff is ok but trandermal wasnt the way to go. I wish I could say this was the miracle but eh back to another product.

I was having major vitamin deficiency symptoms (blacking out, feeling fatigued, metal taste, etc.) and I felt unhealthy and depressed. I tried doing organic vitamins and kept throwing them up, then I tried the pills but due to a surgery, I couldn't keep them down either. I felt like I was at the end of my rope. I saw the vitamin patches while doing some research and thought, "Why not?". Every doctor I have told about them, had never heard of them before, they were skeptical to say the least. I decided to prove how well I was doing with my blood tests. To my docs surprise, my blood tests were a complete 180, in a good way, than the previous ones. My levels had improved dramatically and I stopped blacking out and am feeling fantastic. I am able to get some real work done at the gym and my weight loss has been steady since using these. I was first on a multi, b12 and vitamin D; now I am just doing the multi with every intention to go back to all three.
Thank you for helping me get healthy. I can't thank you enough!

I am prone to forgetting my vitamins, and my labs were consistently low in several areas. I tried the Multi Plus patch, and everything is now in range without issue. I forget to use it 1 or 2 times per week, but it is effective enough to work despite this. Highly recommend.

I found PatchMD topical patches on this website a year or so ago. I have always had issues with taking my vitamins, so I decided to try this approach and am so glad I did. I have been purchasing all of my vitamins from them since then and enjoy the ability to apply the topical patch and go. The patches are easy to apply and remove. I no longer have to worry about not taking my iron and calcium together. I can put on my Vitamin D with Calcium patch in the morning and take my iron at night. Labs are right on target. I do have some low levels, but my Dr. adjusts my needs based on what the labs result. There haven't been many times we have had to adjust them since I have been on Patch.
