How transdermal patches work

Technology that delivers key ingredients through the skin with a sustained, steady release for up to 8 hours — bypassing the digestive tract.

Sustained releaseTopical applicationDaily use

Transdermal, in simple terms

“Transdermal” means actives are absorbed through the skin and gradually reach local circulation. Instead of quick peaks, you get a more constant delivery, keeping the experience predictable across the day.

  • ✓Bypasses the digestive tract
  • ✓Steady release for up to 8h
  • ✓Simple routine: apply, wear, discard

Note: wellness products do not replace medical diagnosis, treatment, or advice.

Key ingredients

We work with well-known wellness ingredients (e.g., Valerian Root, Magnesium Glycinate, Ashwagandha, Rhodiola, Mucuna, 5-HTP, Berberine, Pomegranate, Cinnamon — depending on the line).

Each product has its own combo and purpose. Check “Ingredients” on the product page.

Sustained release

The patch acts like a small reservoir, controlling the rate at which actives are delivered. The skin works as a selective barrier to avoid sharp peaks and drops.

Convenience

No capsules. No measuring. Just stick and go. Ideal for busy routines and travel.
