Kind patches are adhesive patches designed to deliver nutrients or supplements through the skin. Specifically, Kind Patches markets “GLP-1 patches” which are herbal or vitamin supplement patches aimed at supporting weight loss or wellness goals without prescription or injections. These patches contain natural ingredients like berberine, chromium, L-glutamine, cinnamon, pomegranate extracts, and B vitamins, which are intended to be absorbed transdermally throughout the day. However, these Kind Patches are not actual GLP-1 medications and do not contain the active GLP-1 agonists found in FDA- approved weight loss drugs such as semaglutide or tirzepatide. They are classified as supplements, not medications, and lack clinical evidence to support effectiveness for weight loss. The product is marketed as a simple, plant-based, non-prescription option but does not replace medical or prescription treatments. Moreover, there is skepticism about the ability to deliver active compounds through the skin in doses sufficient to produce meaningful effects. In essence, Kind Patches offer a convenient way to apply natural health supplements via the skin, aiming for ease of use and a natural feel, but they are not proven or regulated weight loss treatments.
