I have no problem with patches - they really make a pirate… well a pirate. The problem comes when supplement companies try to sell products such as the Acai Patch or the Weight Loss Patch or the Cure Everything that is wrong with you patch.
On paper, the idea of a transdermal patch for dietary supplements seems to make sense. A patch can allow the ingredients to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream and bypass the digestive system.
There is just one tiny problem with making a Dietary Supplement in patch form, there is no such thing as a dietary supplement in patch form!
