SORRY TO TELL YOU.. 100% JUNK..AND A SCAM...31 B-12 Has nothing to do with weight loss...if it gives you energy to exercise more then..,ok.......and it being a 'patch' which is transdermal..any vitamin or drug that goes though your skin..normaly you need an RX

injectible B-12 is the very best..
then sublinquil...
pills........70-80% gets wasted....the body can not absorb it...

Swee,

My Mom, who trained as a nurse, used to give Vitamin B-12 shots to my father and to others in the neighborhood who had orders from their doctor to take the drug via shots. But then, this was back in the 60's before we had the luxury of being offered patches. I use a med now via a patch and have had good results. Having said that, I have not used the B-12 patch but hopefully someone will be on soon who has actually used the B-12 patch and will share their experience with you that will be helpful.

I don't know if you are new to this site  or not, but if you are, I wanted to extend a welcome to you....thought that would be helpful since your first response was quite a bubble-burster, no matter how well-intentioned it might have been.  Although, I don't know if "Boss" has used the transdermal patch for this vitamin, since that was not stated. And, you are looking for info from people who have actually USED the patch.

I have done research for about 30 years regarding women's issues, particularly body weight issues  and I do know (and from experience, too) that the B vitamins are essential to a woman's well being in so many ways. And, the effect they have on mood, cell nutrient utilization, water/fluid retention issues, hormonal balance, etc, are beyond the scope of this forum.

I have seen websites that sell B-12 shots with no script needed, but that is beside the point. Having said that, If it is possible to get a script for this vitamin (via shots) I can see where this would help enable an insurance plan to kick in, but I honestly do not know if, in fact, doctors prescribe it or if insurance would even cover it.

Oh well, take care and welcome to the forum...Stay positive!  Positive attitude has served me well all of these years. You will get there!
