We have tried many tablets and pills over the years to aid us in our slimming and now a new aid called a weight loss or slimming patch has become available.
So how do these patches measure up?
As you are aware, most slimming supplements are taken orally in tablet form and some of the ingredients are neutralised and partly destroyed by the stomach, intestine or the liver on its journey to the bloodstream. Because of this, a higher dose is often essential to ascertain the efficiency of the product which means a possible increased risk of side effects. A study recently conduced by the University of Dublin showed that a mere 5% of substances make it to the important cells after most of the ingredients are extracted by the liver, stomach and intestine.
