SpoilMeWith HealthB12 + Patches

I've used these patches for 18ms now. I had gastric bypass and struggle to absorb b12, iron and several other vitamin through oral vitamins and from food.After trying a few different versions of b12 oral spray, drops, tablets and then a few brands of patches these have been consistently affordable and I have subscribed to them monthly I know the mg I need daily will be more than others due to bypass, so I usually wear 2 at a time and I usually use 2 every few days. I tend to also leave them on longer than 24 hours If I can.These have been perfect in terms of the fabric they are made of is soft, they are very small so don't tend to catch on any clothing that might pass over, and the adhesive is just right doesn't leave to much residue (I have tried loads of different types of vitamin and detox patches and even plasters lol and some of the sticky adhesive residue left behind is gross!)Bad points..Every single inside sealed silver pack. Is to small for the 8 patch strip.No matter how much you try to wiggle the silver outer bag from the internal patch slip if you try to tear to open the pack..you will rip the top off the backing paper, and typically the1st patch gets damaged in the tear... that damaged patch doesn't stick right then. So I try to use a scissors now and cut way above the indented tear here location.2nd bad point..The 8 patches aren't in a resealable pouch and if wearing correctly 8 weeks is a long time not sealed3rd bad point..I wear around belly button area..tried other areas suggested on similar patches, this pack says just to put on apply to clean, dry hairless,area of skin. Rub/scratch the patch to make sure it's stuck..but for me, they seems to not stay on any other area.4th point..Don't get wet at all or it come straight offHad bloods tested 3 weeks ago..and I'm really pleased with the b12 levels are normal! So I've held off reviewing these as I had been using different products last time to know it was the patches or not..but yep..they do work.

My levels of B12 were really really low - got a 2week course of B12 from GP but have to wait for 3 months before I get one measly B12 injection- by which time I guess I will be on my hands and knees again. Bought these on the off chance that they might keep me topped up and actually hopefully help to raise my levels instead of depleting them. Seem to be doing the trick. Very pleased. No probs with adherence - I wipe the area clean to make sure there in no natural oils lying on the skin surface and smooth them down - they even stayed on during and after a shower. Very reasonable price and speedy delivery.

Patches stayed on after a 30-minute sauna, swimming and running.

Not overly happy with this product. You’re meant to stick on a patch and leave it for 24hrs. However, the ones I received fall off within an hour. I’ve been putting them on my neck where they can’t get wet etc. but I wasted 3 patches in one day so have not got any benefit from the patches. Maybe it’s because it’s hot weather in UK, but they should really be sticky enough to stay in. Overall disappointing.

Stick one at the base of my back every week and it seems to keep me jumping, they can be stuck anywhere of course. Great for an ageing male but i know several females who use them for certain periods of life. Nice to take something not going via the gut

These stick to the skin perfectly however I’m not sure on how they work as I require injections but thought I’d use these inbetween doses to tie me over but personally didn’t feel a difference

Adhesive was poor as never lasted an hour on the skin

Long story alert:For years I have been feeling on and off lathargic, weak/heavy muscles and tingling sensation in hand - I was diagnosed with anaemia as a teenager but doctors always said blood test is all okay but I never really questioned them.I met a friend a few years ago who has B12 injections and queried a bit more about her symptoms and they sounded similar to mine.Got my blood tests whilst on holiday (parents live abroad) and my B12 levels was 257 (in UK they do not consider this low unless 200 and under) the doctor from abroad did state I would require B12 supplements or injections.Started off with supplements for a good month and I could not feel any difference (I know it can take longer to feel a difference) but I did read the body may not be able to absorb B12. So thought I Would give these particular patches a go because of high B12 dosage and the fact it has folic acid which should help with absorbing it. Iron and Vit C is a good bonus 😊Everyone is different but after a couple of weeks, I could tell they were working - felt less achey and lethargic. I take an extra patch before period as thats when I used to feel zombiefied and now I feel less sluggish.I managed to misplace my patches for 2 weeks during Xmas and could feel my symptoms coming back. (found them after I received a new lot 😂 - typical) but once again feeling better back on them.These patches may not work for everyone but worth giving it a go, as the price is good value. I have now subscribed for them to come every 2 months.
