Sunshine D Topical Patch (30/pack)

Nano-sized nutrient particles are infused into a reservoir matrix patch that adheres to the skin to transfer nutrients. They may then be absorbed directly into circulation, completely bypassing the digestive process. This is because the skin (the largest organ) is an alternate route of administration to swallowing.  ( so is sublingual, inhalers, and rectal suppositories)

We are located and entirely manufactured in the United States of America and operate under strict adherence to guidelines set forth by governing bodies. Our contract manufacturer and their sourcing hold certificates of analysis that are granted and regulated by the U.S.A. governing bodies so that you will receive a product that is safe, non-toxic, and manufactured of the highest quality.

Less bulk because, in a tablet, the nutrient molecule is bound to a powder. In a liquid, the bound nutrient molecule is diluted. Both these forms result in a bigger size and higher weight of the nutrient molecule, and therefore higher dose amounts are required and more to swallow. Because transdermal patches bypass the digestive system, where up to 80% of an oral dose is degraded and lost, they need only 20% of the amount found in pills and capsules. We show the oral dose equivalent amount so people can understand and compare the amount in our patches to the amount in tablets and capsules. Keep in mind that the FDA has not established a transdermal dose equivalent to an oral dose. As soon as an equal amount is established, we are eager to make that label available.

We have many independent studies from clinicians that indicate absorption. But since they are not conducted using a double-blind placebo methodology, they can’t be published as evidence. What’s more, the FDA prohibits all nutrient patch companies from making any claim of absorption. This is because transdermal vitamin patches are still classified as a drug and not as a dietary supplements. So until this changes, any absorption claim by a supplement patch is an illegal medical claim.

Wear the patch on an area of skin free of lotions and with little or no hair. The inner wrist, shoulder, back, and torso are commonly used. Apply the patch to an area with minimal contact with clothing that could rub against it.

Our vitamin patches are made in the U.S. Our ingredients are domestically and internationally sourced, clinically tested for safety, and recognized as safe by the FDA. We adhere strictly to quality procedures and measures set forth by the FDA.

Wear the patch for up to 12 hours, day or night. If you keep it on longer there’s no risk, or benefit, because the patch is no longer effective after 12 hours.
