Veru Wellness D3/K2 Essential Patch - Bariatric Support D3 K2 (60 Patch)

Serves its purpose. Thx

My endocrinologist recommended I get my vitamin D through patches as I am awful at taking pills. I clean the area with alcohol, wait a few seconds to let it dry and then stick on the patch. It stays put until I take it off, without pulling or irritation. I don’t know how effective it is until my next lab work but if my levels improve, I’m going to get a subscription because this is easy.

I was taking Pioneer chewable D3/K2 which I loved, but they were out of stock everywhere. I ran out and had yearly general blood panel done which showed that my level was low at 28. I have very sensitive skin (I can't wear bandaids without a reaction), so, I was concerned but based on other's reviews about them being OK for sensitive skin, I decided to give them a try. I put one patch on at night before bed for 5 nights every week, would wear it all night (stayed on just fine) and would remove in the morning (without any skin irritation!) because I wanted to see how my body would react. After the first couple of weeks, I could tell, on the nights that I didn't put one on before bed, that I felt more joint pain and wasn't as energetic. My doctor ordered the lab work to retest and my level came in at 48 after 3 months of using this patch! They work for me! My doctor said to continue with the patches nightly and we will recheck again in 3 months. So glad that these work so well - I much prefer using a patch than taking capsules or chewables. I'm now going to try other products from this company.

Worked well for a few days. I changed patches daily. I moved my patch from my forearm to the inside of my arm to be more discrete, then I broke out in hives under the patch. I will move my next patch to my forearm and update my review.Update: I put the next patch on the front of my forearm and no more hives. I have determined that it may be best to place the patch on less delicate skin. Area under patch got a little itchy after 8-10 hours, and I removed the patch. I figured that was enough to get the dose anyways.

These are so easy to just stick on and forget for a few hours. If a person already has enough pills to take or has a swallowing problem, problem solved. So far no noticable side effects. The strenghts are 12000 mcg Vitamin D and 1000mcg vitamin K2. With deficiencies or malabsorption these should do the trick. I should d know and wil update in a couple weeks .

I apparently cannot absorb vit D from pills, so my doc told me to look for alternatives. I started taking liquid vit D (with vit K) and my vit D blood levels rose into the low normal range. My doc said to try a patch, so I purchased these. Here are my observations. . .As a previous reviewer wrote, some of these patches do not separate properly from the card. However, if you see this happening (as soon as you pick up one corner), it is possible to very carefully separate it at the proper layer from the other corner. You might need a sharp tweezer to help. I've only seen this with about 4 patches out of the 60.The patches usually remained in place for 24 hours, only occasionally beginning to separate from my skin at one of the corners. Using them was very convenient, as I applied them every morning after my shower.The patches tended to make my skin a little red, but I view this more of a personal problem (my own skin sensitivity) than a problem with the patch. Alternating the placement site eliminated any long-lasting issues.After taking these patches for a little more than one month, I had my vit D levels checked. My level was 32 (low normal limit was 30), and this value was actually lower than previously obtained when I was taking daily liquid vit D.Because these patches alone did not raise my vit D level to mid normal, I'm only giving it a 3-star rating.

Left a terrible rash and I don't have sensitive skin. Have used other patches just fine.
