How Our Patches Work

WHAT IS A TRANSDERMAL PATCH?

A transdermal patch is an external adhesive product containing various beneficial nutrients which is applied to the skin. Once applied, the patch delivers nutrients topically, where they are absorbed by the skin and into the bloodstream. They provide a consistent delivery of small amounts of the nutrients into the bloodstream over a particular period of time. 

 

Our transdermal patch delivery system includes a few basic components: 

  • Backing
  • Ingredients
  • Membrane
  • Adhesive
  • Liner 
Patch-Up layers

 

Be rest assured, transdermal patch technology has been successfully in use since the 1970's in various forms such as treating motion sickness and overcoming nicotine additions. At Diamond Hills, we're leveraging that technology today to deliver key vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements through our SAFE and EFFECTIVE patches:

Additionally, they are latex-free and comfortable to wear.

 

HOW DO TRANSDERMAL PATCHES WORK

While your skin is there to offer protection, it also offers limited but essential permeation. There are three layers to the skin:

 Layer Purpose Patch Impact
Epidermis Outermost barrier protection Patch is placed
Dermis Connective tissue for skin structure/strength Transmission of nutrients to deepest layer
Hypodermis Deepest fatty layer with extending blood vessels Transmission of nutrients into bloodstream

 

Your natural body heat activates the patch, triggering it to begin the release of its nutrients through the various skin layers above. Once the nutrients enter the blood, they are carried through the circulatory system and your body for absorption.
