Health Patches use the transdermal delivery system, a scientifically proven method in which active ingredients are absorbed through the skin. This route bypasses the gastrointestinal tract and liver (so-called ‘first-pass metabolism’), which can increase the bioavailability of the ingredients. The gradual release of the active ingredients ensures that a constant amount enters the systemic circulation, which helps to prevent peaks and troughs in concentration.

The design of a transdermal patch is based on a controlled diffusion process: the patch contains a precisely composed matrix of vitamins, minerals or herbal extracts, which comes into contact with the skin and is released into the body based on a concentration gradient. The permeability of the skin – in particular of the stratum corneum – determines the speed at which the active ingredients are released. By applying the patch to clean, dry skin, the absorption capacity of the skin is optimised and the effectiveness can be maximised.

An additional advantage of the transdermal route is that the risk of gastrointestinal side effects or interactions with food and drink is significantly reduced. The slow and steady release also promotes compliance, as daily intake of pills or capsules is no longer necessary. These properties make Health Patches an accessible and effective application of supplementation, where the synergy between innovative technology and natural ingredients contributes to sustainable support of overall well-being.
