I was at a business networking meeting earlier this week and I was talking to a guy who owns a company making transdermal vitamin patches, based in Lincolnshire.
He didn't know I was a PA sufferer, but he was very passionate about his product and the testing process. I have now ordered a pack of B12 Booster+ patches to try them for myself.
I didn't know if anybody else fancied giving them a try? My GP will only give me a dose every 4 weeks. Tablets don't work for me and I absolutely won't be injecting myself. I am hopeful that these patches might be the solution.

I tried patches and they didn’t help one jot . I covered myself in them eventually , to no avail . A scientist who used to post on this forum , maintained that the Vitamin B12 molecule was too large to be administered through the skin . The only way he reckoned that they could work was if the patch contained micro needles that would pierce the skin
Yes , maybe those would work -similar to a sub- cutaneous injection really . Would only be of interest to us though if they were obtainable over the counter ! ( and cheaper than self administered B12 injections . ) Have not seen any on sale though .
I have been using them for over 3 months. You can buy them on Amazon at £9.99 for 30 days supply. I feel better but not sure if it is that or the 3 monthly injections (6 months in) or bone broth which I take intravenously every day. I have read about molecules being too large to pass through the skin but that was written in 2005 and I read elsewhere that technology has moved on. It may be placebo effect of course but my husband who doesn’t have B12 deficiency tried them and felt ‘livelier’ after a few days.
Thanks for the information. We have to bear in mind also that we are all different . What works for one may not work for another . And also as we know , we are searching on the dark when it comes to dealing with B12 deficiency . I treasure this forum because it is great to hear how others are helping themselves . Very best wishes to you .
The point about B12 molecules being too large is meant to be taken as the case without any additional techniques being used. It is well-known that some substances can help to shepherd molecules through which otherwise cannot pass through skin.
I am not clear that there is, or is not, any known, effective, approach for B12 molecules.
Just been on your site ! Fantastic . Thank you for informing me ! What a wonderful choice you have ! 👍Proper bone broth made with grass fed animal bones is worth its weight in gold !
Hi Wedgewood,You are certainly right about that, it’s not my site I am just a customer, but value this companies ethical practice, and always sending monthly offers out. Also when you find something good I believe it’s only right to share with others that will appreciate it too.. Take Care 🙏🏾
Hello. No for last 15 years I have had jejustomy (I still can’t spell it!) tube following treatment for cancer of œsophagus. That’s why I developed B12 deficiency as nutrition bypasses the stomach. Even my dietician wasn’t aware this could happen and it was only discovered by chance blood test last Spring. I inject the concentrate bone broth diluted with water, texture no different to my usual food and doesn’t block the tube. 🙂

Amazon- OmniCo £9.90 for 30 days. I wear one a day, upper arm. Ignore reviews that say they are difficult to peel off and fall off. You soon get used to applying them. As I said not sure whether they work but they are inexpensive and certainly don’t do any harm. I feel better anyway ….
Never worked for me. Didn’t work for my partner either and did not raise his serum B12 - he doesn’t have PA. We used for 8 weeks to test in a bit of an experiment. I would have thought that if this technology worked it would be in place as a treatment by now - much in the same way as Drs are pushing pills. Interested in what you discover though.
I tried patches very early on but noticed no difference. Personally, I found the most helpful supplement to injections so far has been Lipolife Liposomal B12.
