| Re: Has Anyone Tried the Vitamin B12 Patch recently?
Not sure that I'll be of any help.... But since no one else has replied, I will give you my experience (as limited as it is!)
I started the patches a month ago due to low levels of B12.
I've been living with symptoms for 12 years now, so probably too early to see any results from them.
I have been using Health Plus patches that I ordered off of Amazon. 1,000 mcg of B12 - 400 mcg of Folic Acid.
I will be switching to injections soon. The only things that I don't like about the patches (Maybe because it's summer and sweltering down here in the deep south!!) is that they will slip off when wet (pool / shower) and when any sweat accumulates under them.
Also, I would recommend that you clean the area where you plan on sticking the patch with an alcohol wipe before placing it. This will help it stick much better.
I place mine on my inner wrist and replace every 2 days (if they stick that long).
It was winter, I probably wouldn't have too many issues with them staying in place... But ... Summer in Ga... Just not working well for me.
Wish I could share more info on whether or not they work well... Just too early to know.
