Summary

In an 8-week randomised parallel pilot trial, researchers evaluated the safety and tolerability of daily application of patented transdermal vitamin D patches and assessed changes in vitamin D levels.

Key Findings

• Participants’ vitamin D blood levels increased by an average of +14 nmol/L
• Percentage of those classified as deficient dropped from 23% at baseline to 0%
• Percentage of participants in the normal range increased from 37% at baseline to 70%

Conclusion

The study showed that vitamin D levels in participants improved over the course of 8 weeks. Daily application of vitamin D patches has been shown to be safe and well tolerated by most individuals.
