Overview
PatchAid's Iron Plus is a topical adhesive patch delivering 50 mg of iron along with vitamin C and beta carotene vitamin A, worn on the skin for about 8 hours a day, with one patch per day for a 30 day supply.
Instead of a tablet or capsule, this product is a wearable patch, positioned as a non-constipating alternative for people who find oral iron pills hard on the stomach. It pairs iron with vitamin C, which is commonly paired with iron because it aids absorption, plus beta carotene as a vitamin A source.
- 50 mg iron topical patch
- Includes vitamin C and beta carotene
- 8 hour wear, slow release
- 30 day supply, gluten free
Who it's for
Aimed at people who have had stomach or constipation issues with oral iron tablets and want to try a patch instead. The listing does not address how much iron actually crosses the skin, so anyone who needs a precisely dosed, orally verified iron intake should look elsewhere.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- No pill to swallow
- Marketed as non-constipating, unlike many oral iron tablets
- Includes vitamin C and beta carotene alongside the iron
- Absorption through skin is not quantified in the listing
- Only a 30 day supply per order, shorter than typical bottle counts
- Adhesive patches may not suit sensitive skin
Performance notes
Each patch is worn for about 8 hours and is built as a slow release format, so the iron is meant to be absorbed gradually through the day rather than all at once. How much of the 50 mg iron actually absorbs through skin is not addressed in the listing.
