Where are the best places to apply the 5-HTP+ Patch?
The patch should be applied to a clean, hair-free and relatively flat area of your skin that does not rub too much against your clothing. We recommend applying the patch to your upper arm, thigh or upper leg area, chest, upper back or shoulder area, making sure that you apply the patch to a new area of your skin each day (i.e. do not place the patch immediately in the same place as the day before). Make sure you do not apply the patch to broken or irritated areas of the skin or areas of the skin that stretch or move around a lot during the day as this may cause irritation.
When is the best time to apply the 5-HTP+ Patch?
We recommend applying the patch first thing in the morning, or otherwise after a shower or bath (once your skin is dry). Always remove each patch within 24 hours. Some people prefer to remove the patch before going to bed, so as not to wear it during the night.
Is the 5-HTP+ Patch waterproof?
Our new patches have been designed to be sticky enough to withstand the scuffs and snags of an active day but easy enough to remove manually when desired. Additionally, people with common skin types will find that the patch will stay on after a shower or a swim without any impact on the patch’s effectiveness.
Where is the 5-HTP+ Patch made?
Our patches are formulated and developed in the UK, and extensively tested for quality and safety by an FDA registered laboratory in the USA. They contain only the purest naturally sourced ingredients from their native environment, which are first sterilised then carefully transported to one of China’s leading specialist pharmaceutical-grade manufacturers for processing in to transdermal patches.
Can I use the 5-HTP+ Patch with any other medication?
The 5-HTP+ Patch should not be taken in conjunction with any other medication or health products, especially those which interact with serotonin levels in your body such as SSRIs, except under the careful supervision of a suitably qualified health practitioner. You should always seek your own independent advice from a suitably qualified health practitioner before taking any 5-HTP products, food supplements, or vitamins and minerals, especially if you suffer from any physical or mental health condition whether formally diagnosed or not.
