Question

Do vitamin B12 patches actually WORK? ?

Answer 1

Since the majority of people taking B12 supplements do so for a placebo effect, I'd say the chances are good that it'll work about as well.

Answer 2

Couldn't say for sure.  I can tell you that I used them as per label instructions for a month, and noticed no difference in the way I felt.  But I have never been diagnosed with a b12 deficiency.

If you really need b12, perhaps you would do better to get injections.

You can get them from 77CanadaPharmacy (a website).

Answer 3

Not to the same degree as an oral supplement (if intrinsic factor levels are adequate) or an injection.  You might absorb a little B12 through the skin, but not very much.
