GSH Patch Product Guide
GSH patches are battery powered and use the electrophoresis method to facilitate absorption of GSH into the bloodstream. As soon as you receive your shipment, please immediately refrigerate your GSH solution to maintain its potency. Follow the instructions below prior to your first use.
Step 1: Choose your patch location
Determine a comfortable location for your patch prior to your first use. The patch can be placed on your:
- Upper Arm (most common)
- Abdomen
- Back
- Thigh
Ideally, place the patch where hair will not interfere with the adhesive. If necessary, you may consider clipping hairs (but don’t shave the target area) to help avoid interference.
Step 2: Apply the patch
First, be sure to review the instructions on your GSH Patch box. Next, apply 20 drops of the GSH solution to the (-) part of the patch. Then, apply 20 drops of saline to the (+).
When you are ready to apply your patch, hold the whole patch in your open hand and press the edges to the desired location. Do NOT press the center of the pad.
Wear one (1) patch for a total of four (4) hours once per week. If desired/tolerated, you can use twice per week.
FAQs
My GSH patch isn’t completely dry after 4 hours. Did I do it wrong?
Not necessarily. It does not need to be completely dry for it work. Follow these simple steps to ensure a consistent and effective delivery:
- Be precise in loading your patch (put exactly 20 drops of solution + 20 drops of saline)
- Do NOT perform strenuous activity while your patch is on; sweat may interfere with delivery
- Make sure the patch is applied quickly after loading with solution to a hairless body part
I don’t feel anything after I apply the GSH patch. Is it still doing its job?
As GSH levels get depleted with age and other stress factors, you may need to build up your GSH levels first before you notice anything. For this reason, our doctors recommend starting out by wearing one (1) patch per week for four (4) hours. If you do not feel any benefits after a couple of weeks, increase to two (2) to three (3) patches per week for four (4) hours. You will wear the patches at the same time for four (4) hours.
Most GSH patch users report one or more of the following: energy boost, better mood, and better overall mental clarity. However, not everyone has the same experience. It doesn’t mean the patch isn’t doing its job. Visit our FAQs for more information.
Are there side effects to using GSH patches?
The most commonly reported side effect is irritation to the patch area on the body. If this happens, consider changing the placement of the patch on the body (i.e. alternating arm each week). If irritation still occurs, you may apply an over-the-counter itch cream, preferably with hydrocortisone as an active ingredient. In severe rash cases, AgelessRx doctors can also phone in a prescription for steroid cream to your local pharmacy.
