What PatchMD does

PatchMD, operating as The Vitamin Patch LLC, is a Las Vegas, Nevada-based company founded in 2009 by Earl Halley that pioneered the topical transdermal vitamin patch category. The company manufactures and sells over 40 distinct patch SKUs — spanning multivitamins, individual vitamins and minerals, condition-specific supplements (sleep, focus, menopause, PMS, anti-aging, thyroid, NAD+), and specialty medical nutrition (bariatric, GLP-1 support, berberine, dopamine support) — that deliver nutrients through the skin over an 8-hour slow-release period, bypassing the digestive system. Products are doctor-formulated by Dr. Victor Dorodny M.D., manufactured in FDA-registered GMP-certified facilities in California and Nevada, and are 100% gluten-free, latex-free, lactose-free, and sugar-free.

The company operates an exclusively direct-to-consumer e-commerce model via patchmd.com, supplemented by content marketing across 14+ health condition categories and earned media placements on Today Show, Forbes, BuzzFeed, and Woman's Day. Revenue is generated through one-time purchases at $19.95 per 30-day supply with bulk discounts (Buy 2 Save 20% through Buy 4 Save 40%) and a subscription model offering 40% recurring savings on automatic monthly delivery. PatchMD holds 18% global market share in the vitamin patches category — recognized as the #1 brand worldwide by Global Growth Insights in 2026 — and is bootstrapped with no external institutional capital.

The customer base is highly diversified across five primary segments: bariatric surgery patients requiring non-oral nutrient absorption, special-needs children and adults (autism, ADHD) who cannot swallow pills, chronic illness patients with gastroparesis or malabsorption issues, seniors seeking convenience, and general health-conscious consumers. Reported 2025 revenue is $3 million with an 11-50 employee headcount, indicating a lean operation. The addressable vitamin patch market is valued at $802M and projected to reach $1.78B by 2032 at a 10.5% CAGR, with North America representing 43.5% of category revenue.

Direct peers

• NutriPatches: Vitamin patch brand offering transdermal multivitamin and wellness patches via D2C, directly competing on product format, delivery mechanism, and the health-conscious consumer segment.
• Vitafit: UK-based transdermal vitamin patch brand selling direct to consumers worldwide, directly comparable on product format and ingredient delivery approach with similar multivitamin and wellness SKUs.
• PatchAid: Direct competitor selling topical vitamin and nutritional supplement patches through D2C e-commerce, overlapping closely on product format, target segments (bariatric, general wellness), and subscription model.

Broad incumbents

• Life Extension: Established supplement brand with broad nutritional product line and a strong health-conscious consumer following; competes indirectly on multivitamin and specialty supplement purchases.
• Athletic Greens / AG1: Premium D2C daily nutrition subscription with strong brand marketing; competes for share-of-wallet of the same health-conscious consumer spending on daily nutrition.
• Nature Made: Mass-market vitamin and supplement brand owned by Pharmavite; while oral-only, it competes on multivitamin and wellness purchases and represents the kind of scaled incumbent that could launch a patch line.
• Care/of: Personalized vitamin and supplement subscription brand with strong D2C presence; competes for the same health-conscious consumer wallet with a different delivery format.
• Ritual: Well-funded D2C multivitamin and supplement brand with subscription model; overlapping target audience of health-conscious consumers but delivering nutrients orally rather than via patches.
• Patchology: Beauty-focused patch brand (eye gels, lip, hydrating patches) using similar transdermal/hydrogel patch technology; an adjacent player demonstrating patch-format scalability into adjacent categories.

Emerging players

• Hims & Hers: D2C health and wellness platform expanding into nutrition and supplement categories; potential future entrant into transdermal delivery and a competitive threat on subscription scale and brand.
