The human body naturally makes vitamin D in response to exposure to natural sunlight. For many reasons1 you may not get enough natural sunlight, and as a result run low on vitamin D. People who live in sunny climates often spend their days inside or regularly wear sun lotion when outside which can prevent the body from activating vitamin D creation. People who live in northern latitudes or areas that don't receive much sunlight in the winter months often experience “winter blues”. At the extreme, “winter blues” are referred to as Seasonal Affectative Disorder (S.A.D.) in the medical community, and research2 suggests vitamin D deficiency plays a role. There are many studies that show the importance of vitamin D and its role in the human body. Vitamin D is linked to bone health3, mood4, immune health5, cardiovascular health6 and a host of other benefits. The more research scientists perform, the more they uncover how far reaching its role is in a healthy lifestyle; there is broad agreement that vitamin D has a positive effect on the human body. Eating foods such as fatty fish, cheese and eggs can help you to maintain healthy levels of vitamin D when natural sunlight isn’t enough. But if you’re looking for a new approach or your doctor has said that you could benefit from a vitamin D supplement, the AKALO D3 patch brings a new innovative solution to address this everyday problem.

Our revolutionary patches deliver nutrients directly to your body by avoiding the digestive tract. The stomach is a very hostile environment for fragile oral supplements. Much of the vitamin content you ingest in pill form either never make it to where it needs to go or your body takes what it needs in that moment and flushes out the rest within just a few hours. With patches, you give your body the opportunity to take what it needs over the course of 24 hours without the gastric complication and without the spike in your bloodstream. Go with a patch. Slow and steady wins the race.
Place on a clean, dry and hair-free part of your body. It’s best to put AKALO D3 on after showering in the morning and keep it on until the next day. Your lower stomach (especially along the belt line), lower back, and inner forearm are all good locations. Even the top of the foot will work, if you're wearing a sock to keep the patch safe. In case of extended wear in the water, we recommend applying a new patch after completely drying.
Each patch should maintain effectiveness for 24 hours.
