Veru Wellness Antioxidant Power Duo Lifestyle Patches C, Glutathione - Self Adhesive Time Release Topical Patch, 8-10 Hours (42 Day Supply)

I love these easy to use patches. I have been wanting to add some collagen to my daily routine since I turned 40 this past summer and this was an easy way to try it out. I love that these patches are discreet in size and very comfortable to wear while delivering me the vitamins my body needs. love how I can put them on in the morning and forget about them till bed time. I also love that I can get an added dose of vitamin c especially this time of year.I am looking forward to seeing the long term results!

These skin patches seems very promising if they are working as advertised. But I am not very confident seeing the supplement details on the package, the percentage of various nutrients just doesn't make sense to me.Supplements in the form of skin patches is an interesting concept. These are easy to use and apply to the skin, you do not have to deal with nasty taste or smell that some supplements have or that are hard to swallow. You do not to worry about taking unnecessary fillers and additives that are added in the supplements. These patches enter into the bloodstream via skin rather than typical supplements that goes through digestive system and sometimes cause stomach issues or simply loose the effectiveness due to how they react with stomach acid or pass through the digestive system.These patches have not caused any irritation or rash or any other side effects. They are easy to apply and remove( just try to avoid hairy areas). They stay put nicely for extended periods of time. I am continuing to use these patches and will see if they worked on my next bloodwork.

Super!!! I am very happy with this product. I feel an improvement in my well-being. I shared this with my husband, it worked just as well. Very easy to use and effective. Stick it on and forget about it. I recommend it.

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.

I have been looking to add collagen to my routine and the last thing I wanted was another oral supplement. When I saw these, I didn’t hesitate! I was also able to take the oral vitamin C out of my daily regimen. Love this option

I love these patches. The only reason I gave them 4 stars instead of five is because on certain parts of my body, like my upper arms, they tend to come off, they kind of roll off of my skin.

This is great! Super easy to use. Pull off slap on and go about your day. I hate taking pills so this is a great alternative.

Shortly after putting on this product my skin started to itch and have a burning sensation. It said you could wear up to 8 hrs. There is no way I had to take them off and I still have red marks the next day. You also cannot return so be careful of this product. I bought quite a few and now I’m stuck.
