Vitamins on-the-go that deliver the wellness support you need throughout the day - and you didn’t even have to suffer through chalky, “fruit”-flavored chewables. Wellness patches are trending, not only for how aesthetically-pleasing they are, but for how easy it is to get your wellness support, daily vitamins, or a little extra energy, without digging through your medicine cabinet. 

What are Wellness Patches?

Wellness patches are adhesive patches that are worn on the skin and deliver specific ingredients (like vitamins) over time. These patches are discreet and can potentially help support daily wellness, sleep, and more.

The Blatant Benefits of a Patch

Every patch is different; their ingredients, their names, how long you use them, etc. But they all have more skin-deep benefits that highlight exactly how versatile and universal these little patches can be. 

Let’s look at some;

• Easy daily routine to take on
• Mess-free
• Steady ingredient release
• Travel-friendly
• Discreet (if you want them to be!)
• For everyone! (of course, check your patch’s ingredients and consult your doctor - but most patch companies make their patches so the majority of people can use them without any worries of rash or allergies)

Wellness Patches vs Vitamin Patches

Wellness patches are… well, also vitamin patches. All transdermal (on the skin) patches tend to live in the same category, they’re just called different things (different brands might use different names, too!). It all depends on what you’re looking for in terms of what you want extra support in. If you want a specific vitamin, you’ll look for something like “Vitamin B12 Patch”. If you’re looking for something more along the lines of energy support, you might look for “Energy Patch”. An “energy patch”, though, will still contain vitamins specific to supporting energy. 

​

The point of the matter is - wellness patches are vitamin patches and vice versa. What you need to pay attention to is the list of ingredients and find what you’re looking for there - everything else is just marketing.

How to Shop For a Patch

When shopping for a wellness patch (or vitamin patch!), you should tend more to how you shop for any vitamin, with a few edits. 

​

Start with what your goal is.

What are you looking to support? Do you want an energy boost? Do you want to be more focused? Narrow down what you are wanting out of your patch or, maybe, patches.

​

Look at ingredients.

Once you’ve narrowed down what you want your patch to do, look at the ingredients list with that in mind. If you’re looking for something to boost energy, you’ll want to look for things like caffeine, green tea extract, or ginseng. Get familiar with what different ingredients do and help support and find them on your patch’s package.

​

Understand where it needs to fit into your schedule.

For the most part, you can wear your wellness patch whenever you want and however long you want (depending on what your specific patch says, but usually between 6 - 12 hours). If you are looking to support your bedtime routine, though, you might have to time when you put your patch on. These patches will have specific instructions on when to put them on, so always read your packages.

​

Consider your own skin.

As stated previously, most companies manufacture patches so the majority of people can use them. That being said, every body is different and every part of your skin on your body reacts differently to different ingredients, especially adhesives. Keep in mind where you want to stick your patches; how big is the patch? How sticky is the patch? How much hair do you have in the area where you want your patch to stay?

Also, some wellness patches have cute designs on them! Show them off!

​

Know what to expect.

As with all vitamins and wellness routines - you can’t just stick a patch on and expect instant results. Wellness takes time and consistency. When starting a new wellness routine, like a patch, you want to make sure it is working for you and working with you. Start with 1 type of patch (energy patch), use that consistently over a couple weeks and take notice of how and if your energy improves day to day. If it does, great! The patch is probably helping support your energy. Now you can add another type of patch, if you want. If it’s not working - time to try something new.

​

The best type of patch (or any wellness routine addition) is one that fits into your routine, that you will use consistently, and that supports your specific goals. Patches, vitamins, and other wellness products shouldn’t complicate your routine, they should add to it and support you. If they aren’t doing that, time for a different one. Keep it simple and keep it tailored to you.
