BENTONVILLE, Ark., March 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Animal nutritionists and veterinarians from BSM Partners, the largest pet care research and consulting firm, and the Chief of Cardiology at the University of Missouri's Veterinary Health Center, published the results of a seven-month study that found no correlation between plasma, whole blood, skeletal and cardiac muscle taurine concentrations in dogs.

The research appeared in a peer-reviewed article in the Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition.

Key Points: 
  • This development indicates diagnoses of cardiac disease in dogs must not rely solely on blood tests.
  • The research appeared in a peer-reviewed article in the Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition .
  • "This particular research found that blood tests are not a reliable indicator for nutrient levels in the heart," said Dr. Sydney McCauley PhD, PAS, Dpl.

A patch a day? Why the vitamin skin patches spruiked on social media might not be for you

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, February 13, 2024

Vitamin patches are trending on social media and advertised in posts and podcasts.

Key Points: 
  • Vitamin patches are trending on social media and advertised in posts and podcasts.
  • With patches marketed for sleep, detox, immunity and hangovers, they are being talked up as near magical fix-all stickers.

What are vitamin patches?

  • Vitamin patches are adhesives designed to deliver vitamins or nutrients to your bloodstream directly through the skin.
  • Patches promising an energy boost offer caffeine, taurine, gluconolactone, green tea extract and vitamins B3, B5 and B6.

Do they work and are they safe?

  • Vitamins are generally approved as listed medicines, meaning the ingredients have been assessed for safety but not for efficacy (whether they do what they promise).
  • However, there are no items listed as vitamin patches on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods.
  • Ordinarily, to be absorbed through the skin a chemical needs to be lipophilic, meaning it likes fats and oils more than water.
  • So, the form in which the vitamins have been produced and supplied will dictate whether they will get into the skin.
  • The health condition called scurvy is thought to occur when daily vitamin C intake drops lower than 7 milligrams per day.
  • The recommended daily intake of vitamin C is around 45 milligrams per day – more if a woman is breastfeeding.

Why not just take a tablet?

  • One selling point used by the marketers is that patches are a “cleaner” form of vitamins.
  • A vitamin in tablet or gummy form will contain inactive ingredients called excipients.
  • But many patches don’t list all their ingredients – just the active vitamins – so this claim can not be tested.

Should you buy them?


As there are no vitamin patches approved by the TGA in Australia, you should not buy them. If at some point in the future they become listed medicines, it will be important to remember that they may not have been assessed for efficacy. If you remain curious about vitamin patches, you should discuss them with your doctor or local pharmacist.
