Taking your Vitamins Orally Doesn't Work, and Here's Why
Oral supplementation is biologically proven to be a less efficient means of consuming vitamins and nutrients
When we think about taking nutrients into our bodies, we usually think aboutswallowing them, in the form of pills,powders, or through food. When we talk about nutrient absorption, we’re usually talking about theabsorption of nutrients from the digestive system into the bloodstream.There are scientifically proven reasons that this approach isn't optimal for our vitamin intake.
What if you could get essential vitamins into your body more easily, get more of them and pay less for them?
You're about to discover that vitamin D isn't the only vitamin that you can absorb through your skin.
Oral supplementation is biologically proven to be a less efficient means of consuming vitamins and nutrients
When we take supplements orally, our digestive system has to breakdown our vitamins which leads to degradation in the stomach and intestines, decreasing bioavailability.
This means when you take vitamins orally you are eliminating 70% of all nutrients.
Most over the counter vitamins also contain harmful fillers and synthetics that actually eliminate some of the active ingredients from our bodies, limiting their positive impact.
Topical Technology is the delivery of nutrients directly through the skin, bypassing the harsh conditions of the stomach before being absorbed into the blood stream.
Rather than consuming a handful of pills every morning, we now have the ability to put the perfect combination of ingredients into an easy to use patch and deliver our vitamins directly into our bloodstream. This limits many of the negative effects associated with traditional means of supplementation.
"I personally struggle with energy lulls every few weeks that are just crushing to my productivity but I stay away from coffee hardcore because I crash, break-out, and don’t digest it well. I love matcha but it’s not always convenient or available in a pinch. The Patch V3 energy aid patch uses green tea extract which provides the same steady, reliable energy with NO crash! 🤗
I hiiiiiighly recommend these easy-to-use, effective patches for day-to-day sluggishness or when you need an extra kick 🙌🏼"

Topical supplementation optimizes your vitamin intake, allowing it to process up to 90% of their active ingredients
It has everything to do with the way our bodies absorb nutrients.
Macronutrients serve as your body’s fuel sources. That’s why we need to eat a certain amount of protein, fats and carbohyrdates to keep up our energy. Micronutrients are the elements that help release the energy in the macronutrients.
But, neither kind of nutrient will help us if our bodies don’t absorb them. That’s where our digestive system comes into play. When you eat a sandwich, it would just sit in your stomach and do virtually nothing if your digestive system didn’t process it or absorb it.
It’s the absorption process that allows your body to use the nutrients in food for fuel. Think of it this way: when you put gas in your car, the gas sits in the tank. It could sit there forever if you didn’t start the engine and allow the car to process the gas and use that fuel.
As your body digests food, it absorbs the nutrients and uses them for fuel or energy.
The vitamin patch bypasses the digestive system to allow nutrients to flow directly into the bloodstream through the skin. There are a number of advantages to atopical delivery system compared to a pill.
Patch V3 offers a more pleasant and efficient solution over other methods you may have tried
A number of factors can affect the way our bodies obtain the nutrients we need from food, making the patch a more effective way to get our vitamins.Factors affecting digestion can include:
Stress:
Stress can cause excess stomach acid. That can lead to something called Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). An over-abundance of stomach acid can interfere with digestion and make it difficult for some patients to get the vitamins and minerals their bodies need.
Medications:
Some medications, even over-the-counter drugs, can interfere with the absorption of some vitamins. For example, corticosteroids can affect the way our bodies absorb calcium and vitamin D.
Anti-acids taken to relieve heartburn can also interfere with our body’s digestive process.
Alcohol:
Alcohol can damage the lining of the stomach and prevent the body from processing food effectively. That’s why some doctors caution their patients to drink in moderation to avoid the risk of becoming nutrient-deficient.
Exercise:
There’s a reason the companies that make sports drinks use athletes in their commercials. Intense workouts can be dehydrating, draining the body of valuable minerals. When you sweat, you lose water and electrolytes. Sports drinks are often consumed to replace them.
People using a patch can avoid additional unpleasant side effects like the nausea that is sometimes associated with vitamins in pill form and it provides a solution for the 40 percent of adults who have trouble swallowing pills. With the patch, they can simply peel and stick.
Vitamins absorbed through a patch may be the perfect solution for anyone who needs an alternative to pills or shots. It allows the user to avoid side-effects from pills, since the vitamins are absorbed through the skin. Patches are even available for children 12 and older.

Topical supplementation optimizes your vitamin intake by up to 90%
So what exactly makes topical supplementation more efficient?
Topical administration allows drug absorption at specific areas of the skin, thereby limiting systemic absorption. Systemic absorption varies based on factors such as the site of application, the area of the skin, and the specific medication. Among the various forms of topical administration, topical administration remains innovative and historically safe.
Taking this approach we can increase bioavailability by up to 90%, promoting a more steady and efficient delivery to our body.
It delivers medication through the skin via patches or other delivery systems. Although comparable to oral-dosage forms in efficacy, topical patches have numerous advantages over oral forms.
🔴Avoids the first-pass effect of metabolism associated with the oral route
🔴 Allows for prolonged release of certain medications, which can improve patient adherence
🔴 Topical administration minimizes adverse effects due to lower drug peak concentrations.
Patch V3 offers you formulas to reach specific goals like better sleep, more energy and even anxiety relief.
