The quick verdict

If you're new to LifeWave, start with X39. It's LifeWave's flagship patch and the foundation of most routines.

If you're active and want to focus on performance, or you already use X39 and want to go further, add X49. The X39 & X49 Bundle is the best-value way to get both.

What X39 is designed for

X39 is designed to support strength, stamina and exercise performance and to promote a general state of health. LifeWave's X39 research centres on GHK-Cu, a naturally occurring copper peptide that declines as we age, which is why X39 is also the anchor of many healthy ageing routines.

You apply one X39 patch to clean, dry skin in the morning and wear it for up to 12 hours.

What X49 is designed for

X49 is LifeWave's newer X-series patch, designed to promote performance, strength and stamina. It's built to be worn alongside X39 rather than replace it.

Like X39, it's applied in the morning and worn for up to 12 hours.

Can you use X39 and X49 together?

Yes, that's how they're designed to be used. LifeWave provides two suggested combination placements for wearing one X39 and one X49 patch at the same time each morning.

Which should you buy?

Use this simple rule of thumb:

  • Choose X39 if you're new to LifeWave or want general daily support
  • Choose the X39 & X49 Bundle if you're active, performance-focused, or want the best value on both
  • Choose X49 on its own if you already have X39 and want to add it
  • Whichever you choose, pick Subscribe & Save at checkout if you plan to use it every day

Is X49 better than X39?

Not better, just different. X39 is LifeWave's flagship, all-round patch; X49 is designed to promote performance, strength and stamina and to be worn alongside X39.

Do I need both X39 and X49?

No, but many people use both. If you want both, the X39 & X49 Bundle costs less than buying the two patches separately.

Can I switch from X39 to X49?

You can, but X49 is designed to complement X39 rather than replace it, so most people add X49 instead of switching.
