How does Zerodard Patch absorption work?
Zerodard is a specialized patch that infuses pain-relieving ingredients through the skin barrier for deep-tissue absorption.
The Skin
To understand how patch function, it’s essential to know the basic structure of the skin, which is made up of three main layers:
Epidermis: The outermost layer, consisting of dead skin cells and protective lipids.
Dermis: The middle layer that contains nerves and blood vessels.
Hypodermis: The deepest layer, made of fat and connective tissues.
The Patch
Flexible Backing Layer: Provides comfort and protects the patch from the outside environment.
Drug Nutrient Matrix/Reservoir: This is the core of the patch, containing the active ingredients. The drug is dispersed within the adhesive polymer itself.
Medicated Adhesive Layer: This layer serves two key functions: it sticks the patch to the skin and, in most modern patches, also contains the medication and deliver the Drug into the skin.
Removable Release Liner: Protective layer removed before applying the patch.
The Absorption
Once applied, body heat activates the patch, allowing herbs to move from the matrix into the skin’s lipid-rich outer layer. These herbs easily dissolve into the skin and gradually reach the dermis, where blood vessels absorb and distribute them throughout the body.
By entering directly into the bloodstream and bypassing digestion, patches prevent nutrient loss and offer a more efficient, consistent absorption process.
