  1. Heidi Thomason

    WOW! This registered dietitian nutritionist is impressed!

    As a dietitian, I recommend supplements to my patients every day. As a person who has battled anemia my entire life, I’m SO glad to finally have normal iron. I’ve had to get transfusions, I’ve take supplements for years with only a mild increase in iron and ferritin levels. I even tried liquid iron – that made me so sick. Finally my doctor set up regular infusions. I have been short of breath and fatigued for the last several months. One of the ICU RNs at work told me about PatchMD so I checked it out and ordered 2 months worth.I started using the Iron Plus and the Vitamin D patch. Low and behold, when I went to get my first infusion, they took samples to test and the results showed my iron was NORMAL! My TIBC (total iron binding capacity), was really high before, now it’s NORMAL! My ferritin is still very low (6), but it should come up as my levels normalize. Today I finally felt more energy and I can use the stairs again and not feel short of breath. Thank you PatchMD!

  2. Sheila Nylund

    Ms.

    This is a great way to get iron without the GI problems. I have had issues for the last few years and these patches have been so helpful.

  3. Elizabeth A.

    Could be the answer to my prayers

    Just starting my 2nd month wearing this iron patch. Too soon to tell from blood test results if it’s working, but patch is easy to wear and I haven’t had any sort of skin irritation from wearing it. This is important to me because I have very sensitive skin. I can’t use oral iron supplements because they are too rough on my stomach. I will find our in another 2 months if the patch is working. Keeping my fingers crossed for now.

  4. Sally B

    Iron supplement, no pill required

    I’ve always had a problem with Iron pills, you’re not supposed to take them at the same time as certain other supplements, they can cause “side-effects”,etc., but as one who eats very few “iron rich” foods (very little red meat for one), my bloodwork has shown me to be Iron deficient. This patch has been a God send, my last bloodwork came back great!

  5. Marcella R.

    Iron plus patches

    I am extremely anemic and the patches are working very well without having to take a supplement which causes difficulty in evacuating. I will continue to purchase!

  6. Tracey Scott

    Easy way to get your iron!

    I hated taking my iron, this has been a life saver. No more nasty pill, my bloodwork is better and all thanks to a little patch,

  7. Laurie V

    Maybe it’s me…

    I thought that this would help me to be more compliant with taking my iron- it really upsets my digestive track. I find that it’s difficult for me to apply the patch but I’m working on it. Too soon to tell if it’s raising my levels. The idea is great!

  8. ToVonnia

    Iron patch

    I have been using the Iron Plus patch for 3 weeks, and I am loving the fact that I only have to apply them once a day. I was having to take pills twice a day and I would constantly forget to take the second dose with my busy schedule. I don’t feel as tired and I am not complaining of being cold all the time. I have a Dr appointment next month and will be having labs drawn then. I will definitely be continuing with the Iron Plus patches.

  9. D Bock

    My iron is extremely low & I use it and a daily bariatric vitamin.Years down the road- I have malabsorption & malnutrition and my ferritin today was only 6. (very very low)I will start iron infusion as and humira soon. This surgery has ruined my life!

  10. Prudsax08

    I only had 18 not 30. Ordering again though cause it’s helping me but they need to put 30 in please

  11. Amazon Customer

    I love this product. I used to be horribly anemic. I’ve never been able to take pills, or liquid iron. This product doesn’t give me any bad side affects. I can’t recommend this product high enough.

  12. Kathryn Lecker

    Amazing product I will not be caught without them. They take care of my restless legs at night!

  13. Kelly

    I am very pleased with this product. My doctor mentioned it to me. Due to bariatric surgery my iron level took a nose dive 20 years later! I put it on the inside of my wrist at bedtime which visually reminds me to remove it after 8 hours. Hopefully this will help since oral tablets are not helping. No problems with it adhering. (Not waterproof)

  14. Ms. Diva

    Works well, numbers are good!

  15. M. White

    First package – patches were on a plastic backing. Easy to peel off, mostly stayed on my skin. I was super happy because iron pills give me nausea. Second one – patches on some kind of paper backing that peels off WITH the patch if I’m not careful. Will not stay on my skin as well. Giving it one more shot and if the third package is like the second, I’ll be looking for something else. For the price, there shouldn’t be issues like this.

  16. S C

    I like the convenience of the patch and I pray that my iron numbers go up. The patch is so convenient.

  17. LaLa B

    I use this product to combat my anemia. Sometimes I don’t feel like taking a pill/capsule so I use this instead. I enjoy it because I don’t have to deal with gastro. issues, especially when I have to travel and it is also lighter to pack for travel.

  18. Cheryl

    I used this patch to raise my iron level. I wore them every day for a month, but my iron level hadn’t risen at all.

  19. mamadot

    I love the ease of these patches; no stomach upset that you might get with taking pills.The instructions say wear for 8 hours, so my Nurse Practitioner suggested I put the patch on at night and remove in the morning-super helpful!

  20. Teresa Douglas

    Vitamin levels are normal with use of these patches

  21. Donna Hageman

    These patches may or may not be effective. I found it nearly impossible to separate the patch from the backing. Several I could not use at all.

  22. Courtney Mo

    I’ve used these before because I hate big pills. They work just as they should. No noticeable side effects other than a little skin irritation but I have sensitive skin so it is expected.

  23. Chanda Hobson

    Definitely better than the oral

  24. Kimberly Kelly

    Has worked well so far I can tell a difference.

  25. Lindsey Blandford

    I have anemia and have never been able to take iron pills. They have always made my stomach very upset. These are great! When you pull the patch off of the sheet be sure to remove the backing on the patch so it will stick to your skin. It does not tell you in the directions so you may think it doesn’t stick to your skin. Other than that these are very easy to use and effective. I put one on my hip at bedtime and remove it in the morning once I’ve worn it for 8 hours.

  26. sheri

    Stays in place provides to Arin that is required

  27. Rachael S

    Great option for those who don’t absorb vitamins well or simply don’t like taking vitamins.

  28. Rebecca

    They work almost instantaneously.

  29. JESSICA

    Ok, I don’t absorb iron from food or pills. They think it’s a very rare genetic mutation because it runs in my family. I have had iron infusions in the past. When my iron again was getting low I decided to try these, I figured it couldn’t hurt, maybe iron going through my skin I could absorb. Unfortunately no, I have to have infusions. There is just no other way for my body to get the iron it needs. I do think these patches are a great idea!

  30. Ashley Fink

    I have a sensitivity to iron which doesn’t help considering I have a iron deficiency. This product has a slow enough release to where I didn’t overload my body to quickly. This gave me the head start I needed to take iron and not get sick from it. Felt better within a week. Won’t go back to taking pill form definitely a must buy!

  31. Amazon Customer

    This Iron patch worked great for me. It raised my iron level 6 points in a month and now I am not anemic. I am unable to take oral pill due to GI upset.

  32. Elicia C.

    I’ve seen that some people struggle to use these, but I think they’re expecting them to be thicker than they actually are. If you use your nail, or finger to gently grab the edge of the thin sticky piece and NOT the square that it’s on, they come right up and stick right to the skin. I rotate arms, upper thighs, and occasionally put them on my abdomen. I’ve been severely anemic and being scheduled for an iron infusion. My labs are showing that my iron is slightly beginning to increase since beginning these patches. I was unable to keep iron capsules down. I had horrible abdominal pain & vomiting w/iron capsules, but don’t have any of that w/the patches. I’ve added the multivitamin patch to increase iron and add vitamins to absorb the iron even better, in hopes that I’ll be able to cancel the iron infusion.

  33. debra k. eisenhauer

    Stickers would not release from paper

  34. Kelly

    I have more energy and they are super easy to use!! I wii continue purchasing them.

  35. Hors-chiday

    I’ve noticed a difference with my symptoms so I’ll assume it’s doing its job.

  36. Jackie Roman

    If you aren’t quite sure about trying these, TRY THEM. I am bad about taking pills and suffer from anemia. These have made such a difference for me. Well worth the price tag if you prefer to stick on once a day and forget about them. I also like that when I notice it, it’s a reminder for me to change it.

  37. PAF

    My iron remained high.

  38. Amazon Customer

    I can’t say one way or the other if this is working. I don’t feel more energetic nor do I feel any different than before. I’ll just stay neutral for now. Perhaps my body is absorbing but I don’t really know.

  39. Angelheart750

    that it works or I will be having another iron infusion.

  40. Kirianah Nelson

    These patches work great!! I slap one on either at night or in the morning, and take it off after 8 hours. My RBC count improved as well as my blood pressure. I have used them for two pregnancies so far, wish I had known about them for the first pregnancy too!!

  41. M K

    I had issues with the first 2 not sticking, but the rest stuck great and they work. It’s not a huge amount of iron, but it is enough to make you feel better within a half an hour.

  42. Bishop RNC

    Good adhesion but leaves a small residue when removed. These do not come off until you are ready to remove them- that’s a plus! Absorption is excellent.

  43. Derry Family

    They didn’t work for me but they work for others. Good product

  44. Catie

    I bought these when my doctor told me I needed to take iron everyday because I am deficit. About 6 years ago I had weight loss surgery and knew I would always need to take vitamins from then on out, but they didn’t explain how finicky my stomach would be when it comes to taking oral medicine. Every vitamin I took would come back up.So far these patches are awesome! I have very sensitive skin, and react to almost everything. I’ve worn these for 3 days for 8 hours while working, under long sleeves and no reactions.Will update when I get blood work done again with their ability to make results go up.

  45. CGR

    Single patch daily, iron labs went from 40’s to 80’s. I like the new design, much easier to pull off the sheet. Will continue to purchase these for my daughter.

  46. diana

    Best thing Ive tried this year! If you feel fatigue as a 50yr old female give this a try. Iron helps with your energy level.

  47. Destini

    I am super anemic and I don’t like taking the iron pills because they hurt my stomach. My doctor told me about these and they help me maintain my iron level. Sometimes I have to use two at a time but it’s still OK.

  48. Dix88

    I have severe digestive issues due to chemo, and extreme anemia due to chemo. So this isn’t the normal person’s reaction to an iron patch. I can’t take the iron tablets, they rip my digestion to heck. I’ve been hospitalized for anemia. The doctors said to eat red meat twice a day. I thought maybe these patches would work so I wouldn’t have to do the red meat thing. But even cut into Thirds (each patch), I get Severe diarrhea. As I say, this is probably not a reaction that most people might get but IF you are going through chemo or if your digestive system, as mine was, has been decimated by chemo DO NOT BUY. They stick on well & do elevate my iron content but not worth the issues.

  49. debe one

    Like the patch because no upset stomach or constipation Like iron pills do sometimes!

  50. Lisa Crawford

    These work great

  51. Buddha Baby

    Weird options for me to rate – the point of this product is you DON’T have to swallow. Oral iron gives a lot of people upset stomachs and this avoids that issue. Just throw on a patch. My bloodwork showed my iron was low so I switched to these patches and retested 6 weeks later. The patches did the job and my blood tested normal. Now I use other patches for my supplements.

  52. Kat

    I love the convenience of these and not having to take a pill, but the actual amount of iron in each patch isn’t very high (only 83%). For that amount then I prefer to take an actual pill with a higher percentage. But if you don’t NEED the extra iron (anemia or menstrual needs) then this is a really nice option for getting more iron!

  53. Squeazey

    I used these patches to catch up on my iron, and they helped

  54. jeta

    Great for maintaining your iron, I’ve noticed a difference in as little as two day. The stool might be black or very dark color thats normal. It sticks well just make sure there is little to no hair before attaching it.

  55. Cl

    I am severely anemic, pills don’t work for me.So i was shocked these worked!I haven’t got my levels retested but i also haven’t needed an iron transfusion. GET THIS.

  56. Kindle Customer

    I’m anemic, obviously. I’ve had iron infusions in the past and when I went back to my hematologist I wanted to ask him about these before I committed to anything.I showed them to him and he bust out laughing. Said he doesn’t understand how they would get into the bloodstream or how they could be effective….

  57. Guadalupe Cox

    Easy to use but there’s no way to see if they work without a blood test

  58. SUSAN

    Was battling getting my iron up due to anemia and absorption issues. This patch along with the Multivitamin patch did the trick! Easy to do and stays where you put it!

  59. tiffany f.

    I have been anemic of and on my whole life. Someone recommended these to me so I bought them. Had blood work done right before starting patches so I was anemic but barley. I have been using the patches every other day and on the day I don’t use the patch I take my iron pill prescription. I decided to do every other day instead of fully committing to only using the patch due to being anemic I didn’t want to risk my number really going down In case they didn’t work. I have an upcoming appointment to have my blood recheck and I will come back and update review based on my numbers to see if the patches are worth it. If my numbers have increased I will commit to only doing the patches for one month and a recheck to see if alone the patches work. So far so good. They stick really good.

They stick on well & do elevate my iron content but not worth the issues.

    Like the patch because no upset stomach or constipation Like iron pills do sometimes!

    These work great

    Weird options for me to rate – the point of this product is you DON’T have to swallow. Oral iron gives a lot of people upset stomachs and this avoids that issue. Just throw on a patch. My bloodwork showed my iron was low so I switched to these patches and retested 6 weeks later. The patches did the job and my blood tested normal. Now I use other patches for my supplements.

    I love the convenience of these and not having to take a pill, but the actual amount of iron in each patch isn’t very high (only 83%). For that amount then I prefer to take an actual pill with a higher percentage. But if you don’t NEED the extra iron (anemia or menstrual needs) then this is a really nice option for getting more iron!

    I used these patches to catch up on my iron, and they helped

    Great for maintaining your iron, I’ve noticed a difference in as little as two day. The stool might be black or very dark color thats normal. It sticks well just make sure there is little to no hair before attaching it.

    I am severely anemic, pills don’t work for me.So i was shocked these worked!I haven’t got my levels retested but i also haven’t needed an iron transfusion. GET THIS.

    I’m anemic, obviously. I’ve had iron infusions in the past and when I went back to my hematologist I wanted to ask him about these before I committed to anything.I showed them to him and he bust out laughing. Said he doesn’t understand how they would get into the bloodstream or how they could be effective….

    Easy to use but there’s no way to see if they work without a blood test

    Was battling getting my iron up due to anemia and absorption issues. This patch along with the Multivitamin patch did the trick! Easy to do and stays where you put it!

    I have been anemic of and on my whole life. Someone recommended these to me so I bought them. Had blood work done right before starting patches so I was anemic but barley. I have been using the patches every other day and on the day I don’t use the patch I take my iron pill prescription. I decided to do every other day instead of fully committing to only using the patch due to being anemic I didn’t want to risk my number really going down In case they didn’t work. I have an upcoming appointment to have my blood recheck and I will come back and update review based on my numbers to see if the patches are worth it. If my numbers have increased I will commit to only doing the patches for one month and a recheck to see if alone the patches work. So far so good. They stick really good.
