The register

What each GLP-1 patch brand says it contains

Two different products are sold under one name. 6 of the 10 brands here sell a plant-extract sticker built around berberine, and several state outright that it holds no GLP-1 drug. The other 4 say in their own listings that they contain semaglutide or tirzepatide. Only 2 of the 10 publish an ingredient list at all.

Everything on this page came from the seller’s own product page, read on the date in each row. Nothing came from a review site or a “best patches” roundup, because those are the entire rest of this search result and none of them quotes a label.

We name no seller as fraudulent and rank nothing. The table reports what each listing says and what it leaves out. A blank ingredient column is not us failing to check — it means we checked and the seller does not say. We also link no seller anywhere on this site, so the addresses below are written out as plain text for you to type yourself.

The split nobody tells you about

This is the most useful thing on the page, and it only shows up when you read the listings side by side. The two groups share a search term and almost nothing else. If you are reading reviews of “GLP-1 patches”, half of them may be about a different product from the one you are looking at.

Botanical adhesive patch

A sticker carrying plant extracts, usually built around berberine. These are sold as supplements, most carry the standard supplement disclaimer, and several state outright that they hold no GLP-1 drug at all.

6 brands checked

Patch that says it contains the drug

A product sold as a “nano microneedle patch” that says in its own listing that it contains semaglutide or tirzepatide. None of the ones checked publishes an ingredient list, and none carries a supplement disclaimer.

4 brands checked

The berberine patches

Most-forthcoming listing first. 3 of these state in writing that the product holds no GLP-1 drug, which is worth knowing before you buy one expecting otherwise.

Where each one lives

  • PatchAid patchaid.com/products/glp-1-support-patch-by-patchaid · seller of record: Netrition Inc, 25 Corporate Cir #118, Albany, NY 12203The only listing found that publishes a quantity for each ingredient rather than a bare list of names.
  • Ledisa ledisa.com/products/glp-1 · seller of record: Ledisa LLC, 2980 NE 207th Street, Suite 300, Aventura, FL 33180The most-searched patch brand in the United States. The listing publishes a full ingredient list and states plainly that the product holds no GLP-1 drug.
  • Kind Patches kindpatches.com/products/berberine-patches-formerly-glp-1-3-packThe page address still reads “berberine-patches-formerly-glp-1”, which is the renaming described below happening in public.
  • Gentle Patches gentlepatches.com/products/berberine-patches-premium-weight-management-support · seller of record: UAB Prolong Lab, Dominikonų g. 11-101, 01131, Vilnius, LithuaniaSearched heavily as a GLP-1 patch, but the brand’s own page for that name returns a 404 and the product is now sold as a berberine patch. Names berberine, green tea and cinnamon in prose without publishing a full list.
  • Lipovia lipovia.netNames four extracts, then says “+ 9 more natural ingredients” without listing them. The page gives a wear time of 8 hours in one place and 24 hours in another.
  • Patched ethoshealth.shop/products/glp-1-patchThe emptiest listing in the register. The page has a price and a quantity selector and no product description at all — the description field in the page’s own data is an empty string. The shop’s returns policy is unedited clothing-store text about “unworn items with original tags attached”.

The patches that say they contain the drug

These four are a different proposition. Each describes itself as a microneedle patch and each names a real prescription molecule in its own copy. None of the four publishes an ingredient list, and none carries the supplement disclaimer that every berberine patch above carries.

What each one claims

  • LBM hidone.net/product/official-store-lbmlbm-smgt-glp-1-nano-microneedle-patch-with-collagen-matrixyl-3000/
    The Nano Microneedle Patch contains SMGT-GLP-1 in each patch. […] I had been receiving SMGT-GLP-1 (also known as semaglutide) treatments at the hospital. […] each needle […] is made from dissolvable medication.
    No ingredient list. The listing equates its “SMGT-GLP-1” with semaglutide in its own words.
  • BuildLeaf hidone.net/product/buildleaf-slimming-health-nano-microneedle-patch-tpd-approved/
    The Nano Microneedle Patch contains SMGT-GLP-1 in each patch. It works by mimicking the action of Glucagon-like Peptide-1 (GLP-1), promoting insulin secretion, inhibiting glucagon secretion, and delaying gastric emptying.
    The page address asserts “TPD approved”. The listing names both semaglutide and tirzepatide and publishes no ingredient list.
  • Lenreey miraystore.com/product/lenreey-gipglp-1-nano-microneedle-patch/
    The patch uses SMGT (Sustained Micro-Gradient Technology) to deliver GLP-1 through a network of painless microneedles. […] GLP-1, also known as semaglutide, is definitely a great treatment.
    Describes itself as “a groundbreaking, non-invasive alternative to traditional GLP-1 injections”. No ingredient list.
  • Peaka ecosmark.com/product/nano-glp1-slimming-patch-v1-3-b0725/
    NIDDK-Tirzepatide, with its unique mechanism of action, has already achieved significant results in diabetes treatment and weight management! […] Each needle is 0.27mm long, just 1/7th the thickness of a hair, and is made from dissolvable medication.
    Names tirzepatide as the active and says the product “has been certified by multiple national authorities”, without naming one. No ingredient list.

FDA has written to a seller of one of these

On 2026-03-31 the FDA sent a warning letter to Shuja Arshad, FormPour, about a product it names as the “SMGT-GLT-1 Nano Microneedle Patch”, sold through an eBay store, reviewed by FDA in December 2025. The agency’s finding, in its own words:

Based on our review, this product is an unapproved new drug under section 505(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

FDA quoted the listing’s own marketing as evidence of what the product was for. Two of the lines it picked out:

  • The patch contains a blend of fat-burning ingredients (such as caffeine, green tea extract, or other thermogenic compounds) that work to help stimulate fat metabolism, reduce cellulite, and promote a smoother, slimmer appearance.
  • For: Type 2 Diabetes Treatment Weight Loss Cardiovascular Protection

MARCS-CMS 722215 · Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) · read the letter

One letter, and why it is hard to find

FDA writes the product name as “SMGT-GLT-1 Nano Microneedle Patch”, with a T where you would expect a P. That single character keeps the letter out of every drug search run against FDA’s own index, including the six behind this site. The searches, the counts they return and the letter itself are set out on its own page.

The listings contradict each other

The listing FDA quoted describes the patch as carrying caffeine, green tea extract and other fat-burning compounds. Other shops selling a product under almost the same name describe it instead as containing semaglutide. Those two descriptions cannot both be right about the same patch, and no listing in this group publishes an ingredient list that would settle it.

2Read the market-change recordRenamed listings, unverified brands, and retailer checks

The category is quietly renaming itself

Several sellers are moving the same product off the GLP-1 name and onto berberine. You can see it in the addresses and file names they have not tidied up yet. These traces vanish, so they are written down here with the date we saw them.

  • Kind Patches sells its product at an address ending “berberine-patches-formerly-glp-1-3-pack”.
  • Gentle Patches now sells “Berberine Daily Wellness Patches”. Its old GLP-1 address returns a 404, while its own affiliate tracking name still reads “GLP-1 Patches — Premium Weight Management Support”.
  • Monier sells the same product on Amazon as “MONIER Berberine Patches”, though third-party roundups still list it under the GLP-1 name.

Brands we could not read, and shelves we could not check

Three more names get searched often enough to matter. Here is what happened when we went looking for a shop behind each.

  • OceauraThe brand’s own domain loads an empty storefront with no products. The product appears only on third-party reseller pages. On one of those, the title sells it “with Berberine” while the ingredient block underneath lists no berberine — only rose, mugwort, angelica and ginger.
  • GlowformNo seller listing of any kind was found. The obvious domains do not resolve, and one is parked for sale at auction.
  • MonierSold on Amazon and on its own site as a berberine patch, not as a GLP-1 patch. Neither page publishes an ingredient list; the actives appear only in the product title.

Do the big retailers stock these?

RetailerWhat the check found
AmazonSearchable. Patches sold there are berberine patches — Kind Patches, GLPLUS-1, PatchMD and unbranded sellers. None of the microneedle brands that name a drug turned up in a search.
WalmartBlocked the check with a human-verification challenge. Neither confirmed nor ruled out.
CVSRefused the request. Neither confirmed nor ruled out.
CostcoRefused the request. Neither confirmed nor ruled out.

What this register does not settle

  • A product listing is marketing, not a laboratory test. It tells us what the seller claims, not what is physically inside the patch. We found no public human test for any product listed here.
  • A shop page can change overnight. Every row carries the date it was read. A row that has not been re-read since is stale rather than wrong.
  • An absent ingredient list is not proof of anything beyond itself. It means a buyer cannot know what they are putting on their skin, which is a real problem, but it is not evidence of what the patch contains.
  • Three retailers refused the check. Whether they stock these patches is unproven either way, and we would rather say that than guess.
  • This register covers brands with enough US search demand to appear in keyword data. Others exist, and new ones appear constantly.
  • FDA’s letter concerns one named seller and one eBay store. It does not cover the other companies listed or show that their products share a manufacturer.

Questions people actually ask

Which GLP-1 patch is best?

No evidence-based ranking is possible; any ranking should explain what it measured. Nothing on sale has been shown to work. The useful comparison is which sellers tell you what is in the product: of the 10 listings read, 2 publish an ingredient list and 5 carry a supplement disclaimer.

Do any of these actually contain semaglutide?

4 listings say so. None of those publishes an ingredient list, none carries a supplement disclaimer, and no approved product delivers semaglutide through skin. FDA reviewed a patch sold under almost the same name and called it an unapproved new drug. What is physically in them is unknown to us and, on the public record, to everyone else.

What is berberine, and does it do what these say?

Berberine is a plant compound sold widely as an oral supplement. Whatever the evidence for swallowing it, none of it transfers to a sticker: these listings offer no data that berberine crosses skin in a useful amount, and no such product has been through the approval process.

Why do you not link to the sellers?

Linking sends traffic and search credibility to a shop, and we are not willing to do that for products we can say nothing good about. The addresses are printed as plain text so you can still check every claim on this page yourself.

Is it legal to sell these?

That depends on the product and is a question for a regulator rather than for us. What the sources show is on this page: one FDA warning letter about a microneedle patch, and a published review arguing that a worn patch cannot meet the legal definition of a dietary supplement, because that definition covers things you swallow.
