VIEHealthcare Vitamin B12 Plus 10 Transdermal Patches, 6 Transdermal Patches

I recently received some test results that indicate I have Thyroid antibodies, I have been suffering symptoms for about 10 years but haven't received any help from Doctors at all due to 'TSH' levels being 'within normal range'.Feeling somewhat frustrated I began to research the topic of the antibodies and the symptoms associated with it all. I came across the Facebook group Thyroid UK and someone advised that along with my TPO results, the other results showed I had a low level of B12 as well so supplementing with B12 would be a good idea.I ordered these Vie patches as I don't know if my body is able to process B12 via the stomach (i.e tablets). Within about 3 hours of applying the first patch I could actually feel the typical, daily fatigue lifting and for the first time in a lot of years I actually slept better that night. There was none of the aching/sore joints the following morning either which was a massive relief too!I'm 4 days on from having put the first patch on and I've felt better in the last 4 days than I have for a very, very long time. Sad that I have to look at improving my symptoms rather than being able to rely on a GP to know what they're doing and treat symptomatically though but at least now I have some level of relief.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Vie Patches to anyone who is struggling with chronic fatigue and/or joint/muscle aches.

I bought these because I disputed with GP that my Vitamin B12 level blood test and symptoms of malabsorption (gastric reconstruction years ago) showed I had a problem but no help forthcoming - terrible aching and lethargy to name a few - I am well through my second lot of patches but I don't feel they have helped at all, but perhaps I am expecting too much too soon. However will continue using them until they are finished and see if there is any improvement.

I'm in my thirties and have had full blown under-treated pernicious anaemia for almost a decade. I have tried oral sprays, which help a little but this product so far, is way better! I have used three patches to date and I actually feel awake. I'm past what I term "the dreaded six week mark" where I start feeling overly tired and irritable.In all honesty,for PA sufferers these are certainly worth a try, they are a decent price and I personally haven't experienced any skin irritation from this product, despite having sensitive skin. I'm finding my sleep pattern a little strange, but I think this is due to years of sleep disruption rather than the product and I'm not feeling sluggish when I'm awake.It was delivered fast and since the packaging is a plastic cover, it is easy to slip into a bag or pocket and I have just placed a second order.I hope this review has been helpful.

I have been buying the cheapest B12 patches as I'm on a budget.sign of the times.. please don't waste your money on the cheap ones as they don't work believe me it's false economy.Now back on to these patches FAN BLOODY TASTIC!!! got them yesterday put one on my upper arm after getting a bath didn't give them much hope as the cheap ones are yes crap.So next day now and oh my goodness what a difference! I got phumonia at Christmas and never felt right since.Honesty these are the real deal.I feel so much better it's just amazing.yes they are more expensive but what price to feel great what price for health.I can't rave about these patches enough.just FANTASTIC.I never hardly give reviews but I had to with these because they are so frickin brilliant.Get em in your basket 🧺👍

As a B12 deficiency patient, thought I'd try these in between injections.No difference at all, disappointed

I am deficient in vitamin B12, can't absorb it orally in sufficient quantities and tried these patches as an alternative to injections, which are much more expensive (and not to mention, a bit more painful). Normally, I get injections every 3 months and when the next one was due, I started with the patches and spread them out over 3 months, so the dose would be identical to the injections. I followed the instructions carefully and the patches remained on my skin for the recommended period.RESULT: not only did I start feeling worse and worse, but a blood test after these 3 months revealed that my vitamin B12 levels had dropped significiantly and were almost as low as when I was first diagnosed with vitamin B12 deficiency.I haven't tested any vitamin B12 patches from other companies yet, so I don't know if this is a general issue with the transdermal absorption of vitamin B12. But from my experiences with this product I can only conclude that if the patches work at all (which I very much doubt at this point), they have a very low absorption rate compared to injections. And this is very, very dangerous for people who are clinically deficient in vitamin B12. Please do not try these without consulting your GP first and make sure to have regular blood tests, because vitamin B12 deficiency can cause irreversible neurological damage.

I have bought these patches several times now. Each time they have arrived before the due date, mostly within a couple of days of the order, though I do live quite close to the vendor. These are easy to apply BUT you must ensure your skin is clean and dry. I note that other people have complained that they don't stay on - never had any problems myself if the above is followed. They have certainly had a positive effect for me. I feel more clear-headed and don't have that terrible lead in your shoes feeling anymore. If you generally feel tired and don't know why then these may not work for you, as it may not necessarily be a B12 deficiency you're suffering from. I have had a major problem with my calcium levels in the past which can affect the absorption of B12, which is probably why they have helped me. Shall keep using them for at least three months and review how I feel then. For now they work for me and are good value!
