BonPatch take-aways

• Molecule size matters – Only small, fat-soluble, uncharged molecules cross skin easily 1.
  
• Dose transparency – Credible brands publish exact milligrams; every BonPatch product page shows a full per-patch table.
• Matrix technology – The article praises “drug-in-adhesive” patches for steady release; all BonPatch patches use this medical-grade design.
• No miracle claims – Like the author, we avoid words such as “detox” or “cure” and focus on supporting normal body functions.
