Here are a few tips that usually help with adhesion:

Prep the skin:Apply the patch to clean, dry skin that’s free of lotions, oils, or sweat.

Placement: Choose areas with less movement or friction, like the upper arm, shoulder blade, or lower back.

Application: When peeling the patch from the backing, start from one corner and remove it slowly so both sides stay intact. Then press the patch firmly onto the skin for 10–15 seconds, making sure the edges are smoothed down.

Patches should be applied to clean, dry skin. Avoid placing patches on your face, head, or any areas with broken or irritated skin. Some of the best spots for application include the inner and outer wrists, upper arms, shoulder blades, collarbone, upper and lower back, hips, thighs, and ankles. For best results, apply the patch to an area with little to no hair, such as the wrist, shoulder, back, or hips, while avoiding particularly sensitive areas. You can apply our patches day or night. The time of application has no bearing on the patch’s effectiveness.

Yes, you can wear multiple vitamin patches from different formulas at the same time. Just make sure to use only one patch per formula at a time—or, in the case of NAD+ YOUth Repair, follow the instructions of two patches every other day.

Please consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement or if you have any medical conditions, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are taking medications.

Wear for up to 12 hours. Gently remove & recycle after use.

Yes, our patches are water resistant and, when applied as instructed, can be worn during physical exercise, in the shower, or when participating in light to moderate water activities such as swimming. If your patch is not applied as instructed and water gets underneath the patch, gently remove & recycle the used patch and apply a fresh patch to ensure you are receiving the intended benefit and to minimize the chance of skin irritation.

Our vitamin patches are designed to deliver both instant and long-term benefits. While some ingredients may offer noticeable effects shortly after application—like increased focus, energy, or calm—others work beneath the surface to support your health over time. The experience may vary depending on the specific formula and your individual needs, but consistent use is key. Trust that each patch is formulated for optimal absorption and impact, even if results aren't immediately felt.

Transdermal vitamin patches offer an innovative, hassle-free alternative to traditional vitamins and supplements. Designed for convenience, they provide an effective way to get the vitamins your body needs without disrupting your daily routine. Traditional vitamins have to pass through your digestive system before your body can absorb them—but transdermal patches work differently. Our innovative patch technology delivers vitamins and adaptogens directly through the skin and into the bloodstream, bypassing the gut for enhanced absorption.

Each patch is designed for a sustained release of ingredients over 8–12 hours, ensuring a steady, consistent dose without spikes or crashes. Simply apply the patch to clean, dry skin, and let it do the work—no pills, no water, no digestion required. Whether you're on the go, have trouble swallowing pills, or just want a more efficient way to supplement your routine, our patches provide a seamless, science-backed solution for daily wellness.

Many people find capsules and tablets inconvenient or difficult to take—especially those with sensitive stomachs or trouble swallowing pills. Plus, research suggests that many common ingredients in capsule form may break down in the digestive system before your body can fully absorb them. That means you might not be getting everything you think you are.¹ Additionally, a nationwide survey found that approximately 40% of U.S. adults report difficulty swallowing pills.²

Our transdermal patches offer a no-pill alternative, designed for steady, consistent release of ingredients through the skin—without binders, sugar, or swallowing concerns. They’re also travel-friendly, recyclable, and thoughtfully formulated, making them a convenient part of your wellness routine.

Vitamin patches are small adhesive patches you place on the skin. They work through a process called transdermal absorption, where nutrients pass through tiny pores in the skin and enter the bloodstream. This bypasses the digestive system, making absorption gentler and often more consistent. To help this process, the vitamins and minerals in the patches are micronized—made small enough to be effectively absorbed through the skin.

Yes. These patches were formulated by pediatricians using safe, child-friendly ingredients and dosing. We also conduct third-party testing to ensure quality and safety. However, our patches are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. As with any supplement, we recommend consulting your child’s pediatrician to determine what’s best for their individual health needs.

• Peel—Gently peel one patch from the clear backing.
• Apply—Place on clean, dry, hair-free skin (such as the upper back, shoulder, or outer arm). Press firmly to secure. For younger children: Choose a spot they can’t easily reach or remove themselves from, like between the shoulder blades.
• Wear—Leave on for 8–12 hours during the day or overnight, depending on the product.
• Remove—Gently peel off the patch

Dispose/Recycle – Discard safely out of children’s reach or recycle if materials allow.

• For multivitamins, morning works well for most families—apply with the daily routine (after brushing teeth, before school) and remove at bedtime.
• For sleep patches, apply 30 minutes before bedtime as part of your child’s nightly bedtime routine

Children should not wear more than one of the same patch at a time. Each patch is carefully pre-measured to deliver a safe daily dose. More than one patch could provide too many vitamins. However, children ages 3+ may pair the multivitamin patch with the sleep or immunity patch. Always check with your pediatrician before layering patches from different formulas.

Yes! Children 3 and older can wear one patch from different formulas (for example multivitamin and sleep).

Yes! Each of our patches was formulated with the daily recommended doses for each ingredient and is safe to wear every day when used as instructed.* Please consult your child’s pediatrician if you have specific allergies or concerns around ingredients and usage.

If your child is already taking other supplements, check with your pediatrician to avoid overlap. 

One patch per day is recommended. Accidentally using more may increase vitamin intake beyond recommended levels—remove extras right away and contact your pediatrician if concerned.

If the patch was worn for at least 6–8 hours, your child has likely absorbed most of the vitamins. If it falls off sooner, you may apply a new one.

The patches are non-toxic but not meant to be eaten. Keep patches out of reach. If swallowed, remove any remaining patch contact a healthcare provider or Poison Control (1-800-222-1222) right away.*

That’s okay! Just resume the regular routine the next day. Do not double up.

Yes, the medical-grade adhesive was chosen for sensitive skin, dermatologically tested, and safe for pediatric use.*

Our patches are made for sensitive skin and most children tolerate patches well. The adhesive used in our patches is a PSA (pressure-sensitive adhesive) and is not produced with colophony/rosin. Mild local skin irritation can occur in rare cases. Rotating application sites helps minimize this risk. If your child has a rash or bad reaction, remove the patch right away and wash the area with mild soap and water.
If you have concerns regarding an allergic reaction, please consult with your pediatrician.*

Yes. They are free from most common allergens and formulated without any sugar, dairy, soy, gluten, peanuts, or tree nuts.

In most cases, yes—but always check with your child’s pediatrician before starting any new supplement. If your child has diabetes, your pediatrician may recommend our patches, as they are completely sugar-free. They may also recommend our patches for children with chronic illnesses that may put them at higher risk of choking or aspirating. Our patches are also recommended for children with malabsorption, as our patches deliver vitamins directly to the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system.*

They are formulated for children ages 2+. Always use under adult supervision and consult with your pediatrician before starting any supplement.

All patches are latex-free.

Yes! We align with pediatric Recommended Daily Allowances (RDAs) and stay well below Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (ULs).
