DS Math

...everyone should know that no vitamin patches have been rigorously evaluated or approved by the FDA. ...

SFAIK, no vitamins, at all, are approved by the FDA... they are supplements, not just patches, as you later point out.

As to getting things through the skin, nitroglycerin patches are FDA approved, and prescribed often by cardiologists.

Go figure why it works for nitro, and not for vitamins... probably has to do with their chemical makeup.

Thanks but I know numerous people who have tried the patches and they don't work for a DS'r. I get vitamin A & D injections.

I didn't realize we could get injections. How and where would we request this from our provider?

They are extremely hard to come by now. Many of the ones doing them when that was posted have stopped. But ask your surgeon.

My understanding, from a couple of years ago, is that a massive weather event wiped out the Puerto Rican company that was preparing either A or D. That’s when my injections stopped.
