A multivitamin is a good choice to complement a diet that is lacking in variety or when the person is at risk of several deficiencies, due to an illness, for example. The body’s requirements in vitamins, minerals, and certain other nutrients vary depending on age, gender, level of physical activity, and overall health, which is why multivitamin manufacturers offer a range of products tailored to the needs of different groups of people.

Before taking multivitamins, it’s best to consult your pharmacist. They can help you determine if you really need one and select the product that is right for you. If you take prescription or over-the-counter medications, your pharmacist will also advise you on when to take your multivitamin so it doesn’t interact with them.

🌷It is the first day of Spring! Follow these tips for a healthy Spring.

A diet with a high fibre content helps to treat constipation and irritable bowel syndrome. It can also reduce the absorption of cholesterol, reduce the risk of heart disease and provide a certain amount of protection against colon cancer. Although fibre supplements are available, we should ideally satisfy all of our needs through nutrition. Fibre is found in fruit, vegetables, nuts, legumes and whole grains. By varying the food sources of fibre and avoiding processed or refined products, we can also increase our supply of vitamins and minerals, which is important for a diet that is rich in fibre.

This March, join us in celebrating Pharmacy Appreciation Month and all the reasons our personal pharmacists are so special!
