STICKY
PLASTERS
FULL OF
WELLNESS

A:  

Transdermal patches are very similar to the sticking plasters you might use when you cut yourself but made of a different material. When applied to your skin they deliver the mix of vitamins or minerals or supplement straight through your skin into your bloodstream.

A:  

Apply to a hair-free, clean, dry, oil-free area of the chest, abdomen, arm, wrist, hip or back.

A:  

Lifebio patches are NOT waterproof, so please restrict their use to after bathing or showering, perspiration will probably encourage the patch to become unstuck, so applying after sporting activities would be preferable.

A:  

This varies from person to person, but I find that it takes about 20-30 minutes I can feel a difference

A:  

We recommend no longer than 10 hours per day

A:  

All our patches have a 24 month lifetime, the expiry date is printed on the packaging

A:  

Yes, all our patches are suitable for vegans.

A:  

When the patch is applied the ingredients are released onto the skin they then penetrate the skin, it is a continuous process that lasts several hours, as the actives move further into the skin they are absorbed into the local capillary system, the bloodstream then transports them throughout your body.

A:  

Transdermal is a method of administering active ingredients across the skin for systemic distribution. Examples include transdermal patches used for medicine delivery. The drug is administered in the form of a patch or ointment that delivers the drug into the circulation for systemic effect.

A:  

A: Put simply, the active ingredients are mixed with the glue that holds the patch in place.

A:  

No not at all, transdermal patches have been used to deliver prescription grade drugs. Transdermal patches were invented by Alejandro Zaffaroni, he received his patents on transdermal systemic drug delivery in the early 1970s.The most common and successful use of transdermal patches has been with nicotine in the fight to quit smoking.

A:  

One very important advantage of using patches over the traditional ‘pill’ is the active ingredients don’t pass through your digestive system making them more bioavailable.
A large proportion of the active ingredients in a pill can be lost to ‘First Pass’ (your digestive system) whereas the ingredients from a patch pass directly into your epidermis and into your bloodstream.

A:  

You can indeed, and if you hate taking pills then this is your answer

A:  

This very much depends on your skin type, when removing the patch you may find some rubbery substance remains, easily removed by rubbing gently into a small ball

A:  

No they are not, however the ingredients have been carefully selected to ensure that most people will not suffer an allergic reaction to their contents.
Please be aware that there actually is no such thing as truly hypoallergenic only products that endeavour to avoid using allergy causing substances, which applies to Lifebio products

A:  

Not at present, but watch this space! ;-)

A:  

This is a medical question that we cannot answer, please refer to your clinician for advice about this
