Are you allowed to use an energy or vitamin patch on a fast day?
The Aish Rabbi Replies:
Since applying a patch is not considered eating, it is permitted on minor fast days. However, it should preferably not be done on Tisha B’av and Yom Kippur.
Due to limited resources, the Ask the Rabbi service is intended for Jews of little background with
nowhere else to turn. People with questions in Jewish law should consult their local rabbi.
Note that this is not a homework service!
