What’s in the pain relief patches? Active Ingredients Within 

Most pain relief patches work by containing natural active ingredients that provide targeted relief at the source of pain. 

Common examples include:

Topical Analgesics:

• Menthol - Provides cooling sensation to ease soreness

• Capsaicin - Derived from chili peppers to alleviate muscle and joint aches 

Supplements:

• Glucosamine - Tackles inflammation and repairs cartilage  

• Magnesium - Relaxes muscles and blocks pain signal transmission

How Do Relief Patches Penetrate Deep? Understanding the Transdermal Mechanism   

Pain relief patches use patented transdermal technology to deliver ingredients through the skin into circulation. This allows for deeper penetration directly at pain zones versus oral medication which must pass through the digestive system.  

Patches use ingredients like penetration enhancers and non-ionic surfactants to increase skin permeability and ingredient absorption into the bloodstream without blockage. The sustained-release adhesive matrix then ensures prolonged ingredient delivery for long-lasting relief.

Why Pain Patches Stick to Skin and Stick Around in the Market

This novel delivery system gives pain relief patches unique advantages including:

✅ Localized Relief: Ingredients go straight to pain receptors 

✅ Consistent Release: Gradual ingredient diffusion into the bloodstream 

✅ Easy Application: Adhesive sticks directly to skin

✅ Discreet: Nearly unnoticeable clear patch  

As transdermal technology continues advancing, pain relief patches will likely become a preferred first-line treatment before pills for a range of aches and pains.
