PatchAid B12 Energy Plus Topical Patch 30-Day Supply (Pack of 2)

I feel compelled to write a review. As a 64-year old who struggles with fatigue, I've sought many remedies over the years. These actually work quite well. I placed the patch on my belly on the right lower side. Within in five minutes, you begin to feel more energetic. They helped with energy, appetite control and even (TMI) bowel movements. It works fast and is super easy to use. I am going to order this product again and feel comfortable giving it a five star review.

I feel that the price is reasonable for these. They are very easy to use. They stay on until you take them off of course they’re not waterproof so you have to be mindful of that but they do stay on for as long as you need it. I like the fact that I can use these and not have to take a supplement that will upset my stomach. These do not upset my stomach.

The energy level is great

Pro: the b vitamins absorb well. You can tell because b vitamins make the color of your urine more vibrant. Also glad the B12 and folate are methylated for those of us with MTHFR mutations. Con: I didn't realize that there was also a proprietary blend of herbs in her including ginseng which is somewhat of a stimulant. This is potentially dangerous because some medications interact with it including blood pressure meds, calcium channel blockers, and aspirin. I personally like it because ginseng is good for neuropathy, but it is also an upper, which explains my mysterious insomnia the last few days. It also contains Rhodiola rosea which is an adaptogen. All adaptogens are not recommended for pregnancy. It also loweres blood pressure, which explains why I fainted while wearing this. Good thing I didn't hit my head, or I'd be hitting this company up with a lawsuit. If you take SSRI's, you could get serotonin syndrome from combining the two. In short, read the label fully. I read the table section of the panel that listed b vitamins, but I ignored the fine print describing the proprietary blend of herbs at the bottom, and it came back to bite me.

I bought a plethora of these Patch Aid patches after my surgeon told me about them. He said they absorb well and gives lots of vitamin nutrients. I have these on auto-ship now. I use 5 patches daily, all different types of vitamins. The only downfall is that I don't have many places to put these patches besides my upper arms, under my short/long sleeve shirt. When I put them on my stomach, I had some sensitively after in the sticky areas. When I put them on my legs, they roll off easy. So, I wear them with or without a short sleeve shirt, but I don't like the look without being covered. I will, however, continue to buy these patches!!

I was hoping these would work well for me, but the adhesive irritated my skin and left a red rash for days.

They are great

I have no idea how this works, but I definitely felt a difference.

I like bypassing my gut by having medication be absorbed through my skin.

I'm not sure if the dosage is correct on them or if it's a placebo, but do feel better after wearing these for several days. The package warns you to remove after 8h to avoid skin irritation - this is real! I do have pale skin so it shows everything, but if I forget and leave the patch on right till bedtime, I'll have a red square for a couple days after. This doesn't happen if I pull it off a bit earlier in the day. Otherwise they are comfortable to wear.

Good product. I put right on my kneew when I had an injury. Best to have direct application of B12 on injured site. I also travel with them

The product claims to deliver more than 550mg of vitamins from a 100 mg patch :) I took the patch to my lab and measured the weight of the patch on an analytical balance. The patch would look yellow if it contained 100mg riboflavin and should turn urine bright yellow, which didn't happen. You can do the math and beware of such products.
