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.
