About Transdermal Patches

Traditional medication delivery methods, such as pills, capsules, liquids, powders, and intravenous needles, are often inefficient or invasive and can lead to undesirable side effects. Among the newer methodologies for administration of medicines is the use of transdermal approaches, including gels and patches for the treatment of many of the more common ailments.

Nutraceutical Patches

Nutraceutical patches are topical patches designed to deliver vitamins, minerals, and other supplements through the skin. They are available in many varieties, often classified by their active ingredients or how the patches are manufactured. 
Types of nutraceutical patches by active ingredient
Nutraceutical patches are formulated with specific ingredients to support a variety of health goals. 
Vitamin patches
These patches supply vitamins transdermally, bypassing the digestive system. 
  • B12 energy patches: Contain B vitamins, sometimes with caffeine or green tea extract, to promote energy.
  • Multivitamin patches: Formulated with a blend of essential vitamins to supplement a daily diet. They are sometimes marketed toward specific needs, such as for women, children, or bariatric patients.
  • Targeted vitamin patches: Include patches for vitamins C, D3, or a combination like D3 with K2.
  • Biotin patches: Contain biotin, often alongside other vitamins, to support hair, skin, and nail health. 
Mineral patches
These patches deliver essential minerals into the bloodstream.
  • Iron patches: Designed to help with iron deficiencies.
  • Magnesium patches: Often included in “calm” or “sleep” patches to help with muscle function and relaxation.
  • Electrolyte patches: Specifically formulated to aid hydration. 
Herbal and specialty patches
These patches use a blend of herbal extracts and other specialized ingredients.
  • Sleep patches: Contain natural ingredients like melatonin, magnesium, or 5-HTP to promote restful sleep.
  • Focus patches: May use caffeine, B vitamins, and other herbal extracts to support mental clarity.
  • Immune defense patches: Blend vitamins, minerals, and herbal extracts such as elderberry, echinacea, and zinc.
  • Pain and recovery patches: Use ingredients like glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, and white willow bark to aid joint and muscle recovery.
  • Other patches: Available for specific purposes like appetite suppression, hangover relief, and libido support. 
Types of transdermal patches by manufacturing process
Beyond the ingredients, nutraceutical patches can also be categorized by the underlying technology that allows for nutrient delivery.
  • Drug-in-adhesive patches: The simplest type, where the active ingredients are mixed directly into the adhesive layer. When applied, the ingredients are released gradually.
  • Matrix patches: The nutraceuticals are dispersed uniformly within a semi-solid polymer matrix that is in direct contact with the skin.
  • Reservoir patches: A separate compartment holds the ingredients, which are then released through a rate-controlling membrane.
  • Micro-reservoir patches: A mix of matrix and reservoir systems, featuring microscopic drug reservoirs dispersed within a polymer base.
  • Microneedle patches: Use tiny, painless needles to create microchannels in the skin, which enhances the absorption of larger or less permeable molecules. 

Wellness Patches

wellness patches include those for energy (like B12 and caffeine), sleep (with melatonin or calming herbs), pain relief (with CBD or anti-inflammatory ingredients), mood support (for stress or focus), skin health (collagen or beauty boosters), immunity (vitamins and minerals), and even specific uses like hangover recovery, weight management, and sexual wellness. These patches deliver ingredients transdermally (through the skin) for sustained release.

Common Wellness Patch Categories:

  • Energy Patches: These often contain B12, caffeine, or other energizing ingredients to boost alertness and combat fatigue.
  • Sleep Patches: Formulated with melatonin or other natural sleep aids, these patches are designed to help you relax and fall asleep.
  • Pain Relief Patches: Contain ingredients like CBD or analgesics to target localized pain, muscle soreness, and inflammation.
  • Mood & Focus Patches: These patches aim to enhance mental clarity, improve focus, and provide stress relief through ingredients like L-theanine, Bacopa, or Ginkgo Biloba.
  • Skin & Beauty Patches: Include ingredients for skincare, such as collagen for vitality, or specific patches for concerns like acne or wrinkles.
  • Immunity Patches: Fortified with vitamins, minerals, and herbal extracts to support the immune system’s defenses.
  • Specialized Patches:
    • Hangover Patches: Designed to restore depleted nutrients and alleviate symptoms like tiredness or nausea after a night out.
    • Weight Management Patches: Formulated with ingredients to aid in appetite control and boost metabolism for weight loss efforts.
    • Sexual Wellness Patches: Contain natural ingredients like Ginseng to support vitality and sexual health.
