We keep our labels simple and our standards high. Here's what goes into a PACHEEZ patch — and why we choose it.
Clean & transparent
We list every ingredient clearly. No hidden fillers, no mystery blends, nothing we would not use ourselves.
Naturally sourced
Where a natural, bioavailable form exists, we choose it over a synthetic alternative.
Formulated to deliver
Every ingredient is selected because it can pass through the skin effectively over the wear time.
Hero ingredient in: FOCUS
Acetyl-L-Carnitine
An amino acid that fuels energy production in cells and supports nerve function. Its ability to cross the blood–brain barrier helps support mental function and cognition.
What is it?
Acetyl-L-Carnitine is the acetylated, bioavailable form of L-carnitine — an amino acid your body naturally produces to help generate energy.
How does it work?
It enhances mitochondrial function (the powerhouses of your cells) by creating more energy for your muscles and brain. Because it can cross the blood–brain barrier, it reaches the mitochondria in the brain directly.
What are the benefits?
Increased mental & physical energy:Daily use has been shown to significantly boost mental and physical energy and improve overall cognitive ability.
Improved cognition:Low levels are linked to declines in brain function; supplementation may help restore cognitive ability.
Lower inflammation:Increases the activity of antioxidant enzymes and raises glutathione, the body’s master antioxidant.
Boosted circulation:Strong blood flow is essential for muscle and brain function; it can increase nutrient-rich blood flow.
Improved focus:May improve attention and help manage mental fatigue.

Hero ingredient in: NAD+
Alpha Lipoic Acid
A powerful antioxidant that supports cellular energy, nerve health and healthy inflammation levels. It helps recycle other antioxidants and protects against oxidative stress.
What is it?
A naturally occurring compound found in every cell of the body, also present in small amounts in foods such as spinach, broccoli and organ meats.
How does it work?
Alpha Lipoic Acid is both fat- and water-soluble, so it works throughout the body and crosses the blood–brain barrier. It neutralises free radicals and regenerates other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, coenzyme Q10 and glutathione, while supporting glucose metabolism and mitochondrial energy production.
What are the benefits?
Neuroprotection:Shown to support cognitive function and reduce oxidative damage in the brain.
Healthy inflammation levels:May help reduce inflammatory markers associated with ageing and chronic stress.
Metabolic support:Contributes to improved insulin sensitivity and balanced glucose metabolism.

Language & comprehension:Research suggests it supports language skills including vocabulary, spelling and word understanding.
Reduced stress & anxiety:May help reduce stress and anxiety in healthy individuals.
Antidepressant effect:Raises brain levels of BDNF and serotonin, both associated with mood support.
ADHD support:A study in children with ADHD found it contributed to improved attention, cognition and impulse control.
