Key Nutrients in Every Patch
Veru Wellness Prenatal Plus Daily delivers a carefully chosen trio of essential nutrients for maternal and foetal health: folate, calcium, and magnesium. These nutrients are frequently recommended by healthcare providers during pregnancy.
Folate is a B-vitamin that supports the healthy development of the baby's neural tube. Adequate folate intake before and during early pregnancy is widely advised.
Calcium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth for both mother and baby, and supports proper nerve and muscle function.
Magnesium plays a role in energy metabolism and muscle relaxation, and many women find it helpful for reducing leg cramps during pregnancy.
Because the patch delivers these nutrients transdermally, they bypass the digestive system, potentially reducing stomach upset often associated with oral supplements. Always consult your health care provider before starting any new supplement regimen.
How the Prenatal Patch Works
Transdermal patches have been used for decades to deliver medications and nutrients consistently. The Veru Wellness Prenatal Plus Daily patch uses a self-adhesive design that adheres to your skin and gradually releases its active ingredients over an 8-hour wear period. This steady release may help maintain more stable nutrient levels compared to the peaks and troughs of oral dosing.
The patch is designed to be worn discreetly under clothing, including during sleep or while showering (it is fully waterproof). It measures approximately 2 inches by 2 inches and comes in a neutral, skin-toned adhesive. Users can apply it to areas like the upper arm, lower abdomen, or hip—anywhere with minimal hair and movement.
Multiple patches can be worn at once if needed, though the standard usage is one patch per day. The flexibility allows you to customize your routine with your health care provider's guidance.
What Makes Veru Wellness Prenatal Plus Daily Different?
Most prenatal supplements come in pill or gummy form, but Veru Wellness Prenatal Plus Daily offers a revolutionary alternative: a self-adhesive patch. Designed for expecting mothers who struggle with swallowing pills or experience nausea from oral supplements, this patch delivers key nutrients directly through the skin. Each box contains 60 patches—enough for a two-month supply when used daily. The patch is sugar-free, 100% waterproof, and sweat-resistant, making it ideal for active lifestyles or overnight wear. Simply apply it to a clean, dry area of skin and let it work for 8 hours. Whether you are in your first trimester or preparing for pregnancy, this innovative delivery system may help support your nutritional needs.
How to Use the Prenatal Patch
Using the Veru Wellness Prenatal Plus Daily patch is simple:
- Choose a clean, dry area of skin without lotion or oil.
- Peel the patch from its backing and press firmly onto the skin for about 10 seconds.
- Wear for 8 hours—overnight is convenient for many.
- Remove and dispose of the patch after use. Rotate application sites to avoid skin irritation.
Each box contains 60 individually wrapped patches, making it easy to keep one in your bag or by your bedside. Because the patch is waterproof and sweat-resistant, you can wear it while exercising or in the bath.
If you have sensitive skin, test a patch on a small area first. Discontinue use if irritation develops and consult your health care provider.

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Do not use if the pouch is damaged.
