What are People Saying?
THE PROBLEM
Life Happens and Sometimes very Quickly
-
Work Stress
-
Family Issues
-
Life Style Changes
-
Aging - Menopause
-
Anxiety
-
And the list goes on and on
You're Tired
Work is exhausting and you're falling behind
Pills Are Addictive
It can be very difficult to sleep without the pills once you start
Counting Sheep Doesn't Work
Sometimes your mind just needs a little help shutting down for the night.
Aging Is Part Of Life
Aging, yes, but not sleeping, NO.
Don't accept the premise, do something about it.
There's a reason we designed the Sleep Patch
Sleep without the Pills, Grogginess, and Exhausted Feeling in the Morning
Fall Asleep Faster
Our carefully selected blend of sleep-supporting ingredients is designed to help you relax at bedtime, making it easier to fall asleep naturally without adding another pill to your nightly routine.
Convenient Transdermal Delivery
Simply apply one patch before bed and let it work while you sleep. Transdermal patches have been used in medicine for decades (since 1979) as a convenient way to deliver ingredients through the skin over time.
Wake Up Refreshed
A good night's sleep can make all the difference. Wake up feeling more refreshed, clear-headed, and ready to take on the day instead of feeling sluggish and exhausted.
Premium Sleep Support Formula
Each patch contains melatonin, valerian root extract, magnesium, 5-HTP, L-tryptophan, and Dr. C's proprietary herbal blend—carefully selected to support healthy, restful sleep in one easy-to-use patch.

Unlike pills that release most of their ingredients soon after they're taken, transdermal patches deliver ingredients gradually throughout the night. In a clinical study by researchers at Harvard Medical School's Division of Sleep Medicine, transdermal melatonin maintained melatonin levels longer and reduced waking after sleep onset compared with fast-release oral melatonin.
It’s not only what you take—it’s how it is delivered.
Pills, gummies, powders, and drinks pass through the digestive system and are generally absorbed as a single oral dose. Blood levels may rise toward a peak and then decline as the ingredients are processed by the body.
The SteadyFlow™ Delivery System takes a different approach. A Dr. C’s patch remains on the skin and is designed to release suitable ingredients gradually over time. Those ingredients must cross the skin’s protective outer layer before becoming available for further absorption.
This controlled-delivery principle has been used successfully in established transdermal medicines, including nicotine, hormone, motion-sickness, and certain pain patches. Dr. C’s brings the same fundamental delivery concept to convenient wellness patches: no pills, no mixing, and no need to swallow another supplement.
Steady delivery. Continuous wellness. That’s the SteadyFlow™ difference.

The Science Behind Sleep Patches
Sleep Support—Backed by Modern Transdermal Technology
When most people think about improving sleep, they think of pills or gummies. But there's another delivery method that has been used in medicine for decades: transdermal patches.
Transdermal technology is already widely used for medications such as nicotine replacement therapy, hormone therapy, motion sickness treatment, and pain management. Instead of passing through the digestive system, carefully selected ingredients are delivered through the skin over time. This approach bypasses the gastrointestinal tract and avoids first-pass metabolism in the liver, allowing for a more gradual release of certain compounds.
Why Delivery Method Matters
When you swallow a supplement:
-
It must survive stomach acid.
-
It travels through the digestive tract.
-
It is processed by the liver before reaching circulation.
-
Blood levels often rise quickly and then fall rapidly.
A transdermal patch works differently.
Once applied to clean, dry skin, ingredients are designed to diffuse gradually through the skin over several hours, providing a steadier delivery profile for compounds that are suitable for transdermal absorption.
What Does the Research Show?
Although research on commercial sleep patches is still developing, scientists have studied transdermal melatonin for many years.
Landmark Clinical Study (Harvard Medical School & Brigham and Women's Hospital)
One of the most important studies was published in Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics.
Researchers evaluated an experimental transdermal melatonin patch in healthy adults during an 8-hour daytime sleep period. NCBI N… +1
The Results Participants using the melatonin patch experienced:
-
Increased total sleep time
-
Less time awake after falling asleep
-
Approximately 20 additional minutes of REM sleep
-
Approximately 55 fewer minutes awake after initially falling asleep
-
Sustained melatonin levels for 6–8 hours because of the slow-release patch design PMC+1
The researchers concluded that transdermal melatonin may offer advantages over fast-release oral melatonin for maintaining sleep, particularly during challenging sleep schedules such as shift work. PubMed
Why Slow Release May Be Beneficial
Many oral sleep aids release their active ingredient quickly.
A transdermal patch is designed to provide a more gradual release over time.
Researchers believe this extended delivery may help maintain more consistent melatonin levels during the sleep period instead of creating a rapid spike followed by a quick decline. PMC+1
Ongoing Scientific Interest
Scientists continue developing improved transdermal melatonin systems, including hydrogels, nanoparticles, and advanced polymer technologies designed to enhance skin absorption and maintain stable delivery throughout the night. Recent laboratory research continues to support the potential of transdermal melatonin as a convenient, sustainedrelease option, though larger clinical trials are still needed. MDPI +1
What This Means for Dr. C's Sleep Patch
Dr. C's Sleep Patch was developed around the same scientific principles that make transdermal delivery attractive:
✔ Convenient, pill-free application
✔ Gradual overnight delivery of selected ingredients
✔ No need to swallow capsules or gummies before bed
✔ Built on an established drug-delivery technology used in modern medicine
Our formula combines carefully selected sleep-support ingredients—including melatonin and botanical extracts—with a transdermal delivery system designed for convenient overnight use.
A Note About the Science
We believe it's important to separate what has been studied from what has not. The published clinical research cited above evaluated transdermal melatonin delivery, not Dr. C's proprietary formulation specifically. Those studies demonstrate that melatonin can be effectively delivered through the skin and that transdermal delivery improved several sleep-related measures under the conditions studied. However, Dr. C's Sleep Patch itself has not been evaluated in those clinical trials, and individual results may vary. PMC+2
