Sleep patches are adhesive products intended to deliver ingredients through the skin. The category includes melatonin and multi-ingredient formulas.
How the format works
Transdermal products release compounds through the skin. But the existence of transdermal drug delivery does not mean every supplement ingredient in every patch is proven to absorb effectively.
Evidence for melatonin patches
Research is still limited. Sleep Foundation reports that only a small number of studies have examined melatonin patches, while oral melatonin has a much larger evidence base.
What to compare before buying
Look at the ingredient list, amounts, wear instructions, adhesive considerations, brand transparency and return terms. Avoid treating “natural” as synonymous with risk-free.
