The Science Behind Iontophoresis Patches: Smarter Delivery for Powerful Results

If you're using our NAD+ or Glutathione Patches, you might wonder: How can a patch deliver targeted, clinical-grade nutrients directly into your body?

The answer lies in transdermal iontophoresis—a proven medical technology redefining how we optimize health at the cellular level.

Here’s how it works—and why it matters for your long-term health and wellness goals.

What Is Transdermal Iontophoresis?

Transdermal iontophoresis is a non-invasive, clinically validated method that uses a low-level electrical current to deliver critical nutrients—such as NAD+ and glutathione—directly into the bloodstream.

By bypassing the digestive system, this technology enhances absorption, maximizes bioavailability, and unlocks a new standard for nutrient delivery—needle-free.

This advanced delivery method offers a smarter, more effective way to nourish your body at the cellular level.

How does it Work?

Our patches use a gentle, low-level electric current to help deliver medication directly through the skin and into deeper tissues—including hair follicles and oil glands. Medication is placed on a special pad (called an electrode) that shares the same electrical charge, while a saline solution is applied to a second pad with the opposite charge. Once the patch is placed on your skin, it creates a complete circuit, and the medication delivery begins.

The patch is a small adhesive bandage that can be placed almost anywhere on the body, though we recommend applying where hair will not interfere with mild adhesive. The upper arm is most common, but you can choose any area that’s comfortable and free from irritation, including abdomen, back, and thigh. When applying, you'll hold the patch flat in your palm and press it down in one smooth motion to ensure full contact.

Why Choose a Patch Over Traditional Supplements?

There’s a reason top athletes, wellness clinics, and hospitals trust transdermal delivery: it works.

Here’s what sets IontoPatch™ apart:

1. Medical-Grade Quality

Our patches are Class 2 medical devices, trusted by healthcare professionals for decades. Each one is engineered to clinical standards for safety, consistency, and performance.

2. Superior Absorption

Traditional oral supplements must navigate digestion, often losing potency along the way. IontoPatch™ technology delivers active ingredients directly into your bloodstream—ensuring maximum bioavailability, minimal waste, and faster results.

3. Sustained, High-Dose Delivery

Designed for modern lifestyles, each patch provides steady, extended support throughout the day—whether you’re working, training, or traveling. Simply apply, activate, and go.

4. Engineered for Comfort

Our patches are latex-free, hypoallergenic, and built to flex with your body. They stay secure during daily activities, including exercise, so you never have to pause your routine.

Science You Can Trust

Transdermal iontophoresis is backed by decades of clinical research across dermatology, neurology, and rehabilitative medicine.

Studies have demonstrated its ability to:

• Enhance antioxidant levels (such as Glutathione)
• Support cellular energy production (through NAD+)
• Improve recovery, cognitive clarity, and skin health

At Alan Health, we’re excited to make this powerful technology accessible for everyday wellness — from the comfort of your own home.

Ready to Experience the Difference?

Whether you’re looking to strengthen your body’s natural detox pathways with Glutathione or support energy metabolism and healthy aging with NAD+—IontoPatch™ offers a smarter, more efficient way to achieve your goals.

No needles. No pills. Just next-generation delivery for next-level results.
