Dublin student to cash in as patch idea goes global

What started as the idea behind a college project has become a worldwide-selling nutritional product that is set to make a young Dubliner a millionaire.

Gareth Sheridan from Terenure came up with the idea for his Nutriband patches while working on his thesis as a business and management degree student at Dublin Institute of Technology.

Nutriband works on the same principle as nicotine patches, and slow-releases vitamins and nutrients into the user’s system over a number of hours.
