Vitamin Patch?

Hey guys, so I have been reading a bit lately on Vitamin Patches and the success some bariatric patients have d/t the nutrients being absorbed in the skin vs the stomach. Has anyone tried these before, or know of someone who has?

I do iron infusions typically 2x yearly and take a large handful of vitamins, so the prospect of a patch in place of that potentially is intriguing!

I emailed my doctor this afternoon to see if they provide any RX or support using them, just curious about any personal experience while I wait for a response.

:)

    They seem prohibitably expensive, when compared to a bottle of Centrum Chewables, or whole pills

    They do seem more expensive, I am curious if insurance would cover if RX would be possible, then again most companies wont pay for regular vitamins, so that is most likely not an option.
