PatchMD – Iron Plus Topical Patches - 30 Days Supply

I tried the pill form but was not successful in raising my iron levels. The patches were suggested and worked for me. Was very thankful they had such a product.

Great products!

yo recomiendo estos parches buenísimos. Yo noté la diferencia desde el primer día.

This product is a very small patch that comes adhered to a series of very small sheets. The package itself is so small and thin it was actually lost in the packaging and I had to go on quite a voyage of Discovery to even find it.The patches themselves are extremely sticky and do adhere with vicious intent. They will adhere to you, to your fingers, and to each other, and even to itself. This is rather a problem as I ended up throwing two away because they folded up on themselves. I've gotten a better understanding of how they operate now and Care is required in getting them where you want them.There is a warning label saying not to leave them on more than 8 hours. I confess I did not read all of the directions fully so I do not know what happens if they are left on more than that 8 hours recommended. Will I turn into an iron golem? Will my hair fall out? Inquiring minds wish to know.I've only been using them a couple of days now so not sure if it's making a big difference for me, so I can't speak to that yet. I will update this as I find out.

I was extremely anemic and the iron pills made my stomach feel horrible all day. I did end up getting a blood transfusion with 2 units, but the transfusion nurse warned me that I would start feeling icky again if I didn't try to supplement with some sort of iron. I have been using the patches ever since to keep my iron levels boosted. I honestly feel great and they are so easy. One thing I learned after the first day of using them, is because I have a little oilier skin, they won't stay on. I have had the best luck with them staying on by rubbing the area with an alcohol pad and letting it dry, then applying the patch. Now it stays on all 8 hours with no problem, and I don't even notice it is there.

I bought these patches for me originally because they are highly recommended in the gastric bypass world. I was very skeptical about them being legit to actually provide all they say in a patch! But they do! As somewhat of proof to me, I ended up passing them to my daughter because she is anemic. She is a VERY picky eater, plus she has texture issues, and hates swallowing the inevitable large pills that are vitamins come in. She also does not like gummies (no matter which brand or kind I buy, “they taste too weird or gross”). So these are perfect! No more dealing with anything she has to chew or swallow. I know they work because she has a grey eyebrow, just on one side, and when she uses these patches consistently it starts turning dark brown again! I wish I had pictures of THAT but I didn’t think to take any. Right now, it’s half grey/half dark brown because she hasn’t used them consistently this time.I like that they changed the stuff the patches come on. It used to be white “wax” paper stuff that was hard to peel the patches off of without ripping the paper or fighting with it. The ones that came this time came on a clear plastic sheet that is SO MUCH EASIER to get the patch off! Thank you for doing that, Patch MD!The only “con” (if you can call it that), is they stick very well so do not put it where there is ANY hair! Even if it’s baby fine. lol! I did have a hard time putting it on my forearm because I brush my arm against my body when I walk and it would eventually peel the patch up and it won’t restick or lie flat again. Those are the only two “complaints” I have.This is my 2nd order of these and as long as I can get her to use them, I will keep buying them and I am going to start using them again, too. Very happy, will definitely keep purchasing!

I’ve been getting my labs tested by my functional medicine doctor ever few months to evaluate levels of various hormones, vitamins, etc in my body, and after 3-4 months of using these patches, they did nothing for my iron.

My physician recommended these. I think they are great for the average person. I simply wanted the iron as I med to take the other vitamins separately.
