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

Muy bueno

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.

Muy buen producto garantizado funciona y es muy práctico

So far so good I’m liking Veru

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.
