how are they putting 500mg on/in such a patch

I think this is the total amount. 500mg/30 patches = reasonable amount per patch.

Transdermal delivery of traditional Chinese medicine patch vs. NSAIDs patch for alleviating inflammation and relieving pain for early-stage knee osteoarthritis: a retrospective case control study
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12003408/

In this study, we evaluate a few parameters and generally found a comparable effect in the control of pain, inflammation and oxidative stress between classical TCM Xiaotong patch and NSAIDs flurbiprofen patch, in a relatively short-term evaluation for treating EKOA.

In other words, Traditional Chinese Medicine patches do work.

Saying that, I also bought (oral) pills with extracts of Reishi, Lion's Mane, Black Cohosh, Saw Palmetto, and some others.

I like experiments 😅

I like experiments as well, but if you use too many things at the same time, you have no idea which is the one that is responsible for what of several effects.

Very true. And you have to wait for several months to notice any effect. So .... all at once .. 😄
