Quick answer
The Activate & Recover patch by PatchMD delivers key nutrients through your skin, offering a convenient alternative to shakes or pills for post-workout support.
Why choose a patch over a drink or pill?
After a workout, your body needs nutrients to repair and refuel. Oral supplements can cause stomach upset or require timing with food. A topical patch bypasses the digestive system, delivering nutrients steadily over several hours. This makes it a good option if you have a sensitive stomach or simply want one less thing to think about after exercise.
How to use the Activate & Recover patch for post-workout recovery
- Clean and dry the application area: Choose a clean, dry spot on your body—such as your upper arm, shoulder, or hip. Avoid areas with lotion, oil, or hair, as these can prevent the patch from sticking properly. A greasy or damp spot will cause the patch to fall off early.
- Apply the patch within 30 minutes after your workout: Peel the backing and press the patch firmly onto the skin for about 10 seconds. Applying it soon after exercise helps align nutrient delivery with your body's recovery window. Don't wait hours; the sooner you apply it, the better it supports your recovery.
- Wear the patch for 6–8 hours or as directed: Leave the patch on during rest, sleep, or light activity. Avoid soaking it in water (like in a bath or pool) to keep the adhesive intact. Remove it after the recommended time. If the patch gets wet, it may lose adhesion; pat it dry gently if needed.
