Iron supplementation.
Reimagined.
BioMed Labs Iron delivers Ferrous Lactate through a precision microcrystal transdermal patch — bypassing the digestive tract for a new generation of iron supplement technology.
- Ferrous Lactate microcrystal matrix
- Dissolvable microneedle patch — no GI tract
- 60 patches · 1/day or 2/day
Not all patches are the same.
Not even close.
Conventional stick-on patches sit on the surface of the skin. They rely on passive diffusion through the stratum corneum — the skin's outermost barrier — which is specifically designed to keep substances out. BioMed Labs uses a fundamentally different mechanism.
Conventional Patches
Stick-on transdermal patch
- Delivery mechanismPassive diffusion — active ingredient sits on skin surface and hopes to penetrate the stratum corneum barrier.
- Skin penetrationThe stratum corneum (15–20 cell layers of dead keratinocytes) blocks most molecules. Only small, lipophilic compounds cross effectively.
- Absorption consistencyHighly variable. Skin hydration, temperature, application site, and individual skin thickness all affect uptake unpredictably.
- Active compound contactMinimal direct contact with viable epidermis. Most compound remains on the patch or in the adhesive layer.
- Iron suitabilityIron ions are hydrophilic and large — among the worst candidates for passive transdermal diffusion. Conventional patches are not a viable iron delivery format.
BioMed Labs
Microcrystal microneedle patch
- Delivery mechanismActive physical penetration — dissolvable microneedles breach the stratum corneum and deposit Ferrous Lactate microcrystals directly into the viable epidermis.
- Skin penetrationMicroneedles are engineered to a precise depth (typically 200–600 µm) — deep enough to bypass the barrier layer, shallow enough to avoid nerve endings and blood vessels.
- Absorption consistencyControlled by microneedle geometry and microcrystal dissolution rate — not dependent on skin surface conditions. Formulation-driven consistency.
- Active compound contactFerrous Lactate microcrystals are deposited directly into the epidermis where interstitial fluid drives dissolution and uptake into surrounding tissue.
- Iron suitabilityBypasses the transdermal barrier entirely. Iron is delivered as a microcrystal matrix into the epidermis — the hydrophilicity barrier is irrelevant when you go through it.
Why microneedle microcrystal technology works
Four interlocking mechanisms that make passive patches obsolete for iron delivery.
01Barrier bypass
Microneedles are precision-engineered to penetrate the stratum corneum — the 10–20 µm dead-cell barrier that blocks conventional patches — and deposit active compound below it.
02Nanocrystal dissolution
Ferrous Lactate is structured into a microcrystal matrix. Once in the epidermis, interstitial fluid dissolves the crystals at a controlled rate — releasing iron ions directly into surrounding tissue.
03Epidermis-level uptake
Iron ions released in the viable epidermis are taken up by local cells and enter systemic circulation via the dermal capillary network — bypassing the GI tract entirely.
04Formulation-controlled rate
Dissolution kinetics are determined by microcrystal size, density, and the dissolvable needle matrix — not by skin conditions. This gives a consistent, repeatable delivery profile across users.
Iron supplements are now available in a better form.
The BioMed Labs microcrystal patch platform represents a genuine step forward in iron supplementation technology — engineered for precision delivery, consistent formulation, and a user experience that oral iron simply cannot match.
Full technology overviewBeyond Oral Iron
Traditional oral iron supplements can cause GI discomfort and inconsistent absorption. The BioMed Labs patch platform bypasses the digestive tract entirely — delivering Ferrous Lactate directly through the skin via a precision microcrystal matrix.
Microcrystal Architecture
The active ingredient is structured into a precision microcrystal matrix — engineered for consistent crystal morphology and controlled dissolution characteristics across every production batch.
Dissolvable Microneedle Array
The crescent-shaped patch uses a dissolvable microneedle array that painlessly penetrates the stratum corneum, establishing a transdermal pathway for the Ferrous Lactate microcrystals.
Four stages. One precision platform.
Apply
Press the crescent patch to clean skin. The microneedle array makes contact with the stratum corneum.
Penetrate
Precision-formed microneedles painlessly create a transdermal pathway through the outer skin layer.
Dissolve
The dissolvable matrix dissolves on contact with interstitial fluid, releasing the Ferrous Lactate microcrystals.
Deliver
Ferrous Lactate is delivered transdermally — bypassing the GI tract for a precision iron supplement experience.
