Vitamin patches – level 1
26-05-2026 07:00
Many young people want to be healthy. Now, a company named Barriére has a new product: vitamin patches. You do not take a pill; you just put a small patch on your skin.
The company will make a lot of money. A big company called Walmart will sell these patches in 1,700 stores. They also have a special patch for people who get sick from milk. The company says that the patch is easy and fun to use. Young people see these patches on TikTok and Instagram and want to buy them. They are very popular among young people.
But some scientists say that we need more tests. We do not know if the patches really work. In the US, the government does not check vitamins like medicines. Because of this, Barriére makes its products in the UK and tests them there to show that they are good.
Difficult words: healthy (strong and well), patch (a small piece of material which you stick onto your skin), medicine (a substance which you use when you are sick).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
Why does Barriére produce and test its vitamin patches in the UK?
