The Science of Slow Release: Why Patches Feel Different
Pills, powders, gummies — the wellness world is full of ways to get your daily nutrients. But if you’ve tried vitamin patches, you might have noticed something different: the steady, all-day effect. No sugar rush, no sudden slump. Just smooth, slow support.
So, what’s really going on? Let’s break down the science of “slow release.”
🩸 How Pills Work
Swallow a pill or gummy, and your digestive system takes over. The trouble? Stomach acid, enzymes, and absorption speed all play a role in how much your body actually gets. Sometimes it’s a quick spike, sometimes less gets absorbed than you think.
🩹 How Patches Work
Vitamin patches use something called transdermal delivery — nutrients travel through your skin and into your bloodstream. Instead of one big hit, they release gradually over several hours.
Think of it like sipping water all day versus chugging a litre in one go. Steady, consistent, more efficient.
⚖️ Why Slow Release Matters
- Better consistency — no rollercoaster highs and lows
- Less stress on digestion — no upset stomach from high doses at once
- Convenience — stick it, forget it, get on with your day
🌱 Bonus: The Vitamin Patch Difference
Our Vitamin Patches are designed to give your body what it needs, slowly and steadily. From sleep to energy to immunity, each patch is like a quiet co-pilot, working in the background.
The Takeaway
Slow and steady really does win the race — especially when it comes to wellness. Pills have their place, but if you’re looking for smoother, more reliable support, patches might just be your new favourite daily habit.
