Has anyone tried using Taopatch?
I saw this ad for a product called Taopatch and it supposed to improve balance & overall wellbeing. The least expensive product they offer is $299 for 3 patches that last 30 months. Has anyone tried this product or know someone who has? What was/is your/their experience?
Sounds too good to be true, so it probably isn’t. I understand how people can be taken when they are so desperate to find something that can possibly improve their quality of life.
Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hi,
!
I did a little bit of digging and I think your initial feeling on this (if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is) is accurate, at least at this time. I did find one very small study on this product (seventeen subjects with RRMS). And, while the results did look promising, it was such a small group of participants and the patch had been combined with a course of daily exercises, so it may be hard to ascertain what caused the improvements -- the patch, the exercises, or both. Here's a link to the study, if you're interested -- https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8495370/#:~:text=We%20can%20definitely%20conclude%20that,the%20COVID%2D19%20pandemic%20time. Also, I have learned over the years that just because a study gets published, does not necessarily mean it's an academically rigorous or unbiased study.
Also, I did not find any information on this site about other community members trying this product. Perhaps someone here has and I hope they see your comment and respond.
For now, you have to do what feels right to you. If you have the time and money to invest in trying this product, you have every right to do so. And if you do try it, I would be interested to read your perspective on it.
I hope this information is helpful for you!
Best, Erin, Team Member.Thank you Erin! I appreciate the info. There are reviews on their website, but we all know how easy it is to manipulate online reviews. I too hope someone will see my post that have tried Taopatch. I would trust someone’s opinion on this forum (they’re not trying to sell something!)
