How Does a Patch Work?

A patch delivers nutrients into the circulatory system by absorption through the skin.
A patch uses a special membrane to control the rate at which nutrients, contained within it, pass through the skin and into the bloodstream.

For nutrients to be absorbed via the skin into the bloodstream, the drug molecules pass through the top two skin layers – the epidermis and dermis – into the capillaries (small blood vessels).

By direct delivery to the bloodstream, without first going to the liver (the “first-pass effect”) a greater amount of the nutrients are bio-available. A patch is designed to release the active ingredients at a consistent rate over a period of time.

  • Convenient
