For children with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), taking medication can be a challenge. Taste, texture, and even color can trigger strong reactions that make compliance difficult.

Compounding allows medications to be customized to better fit each child’s sensory needs. Flavours can be adjusted, textures smoothed, and dosage forms changed to liquids, lozenges, capsules, or even topical options applied to the skin.

By personalizing how medication looks, tastes, and feels, compounding may help make treatment less stressful for both children and caregivers.

February is Heart Health Awareness Month, and it’s the perfect time to talk about one powerful but often overlooked supporter of cardiovascular health: Nitric Oxide (NO).

Nitric Oxide helps your blood vessels relax, supports healthy circulation, and plays a key role in maintaining balanced blood pressure. As we age, natural NO levels tend to decline, which can impact circulation and overall heart health.

The good news? Simple daily habits can help support NO production. Regular movement, eating nitrate-rich foods like leafy greens and beets, managing stress, and staying hydrated all make a difference. Some people also choose targeted supplements and testing tools to better understand and support their levels.

Small, consistent choices can go a long way in supporting heart health. This month is a great reminder to care for your circulation, your arteries, and your long-term wellness, one healthy habit at a time.

Your hair has a natural growth cycle, but hormones can easily disrupt it. When hormones are out of balance, your hair is often one of the first places it shows.

Stress, thyroid changes, shifts in estrogen and progesterone, and higher androgens can all affect how quickly hair grows, how much it sheds, and how full it looks. That’s why thinning hair, extra shedding, or a smaller ponytail can sometimes be more than just a “bad hair phase.”

Supporting your hormones can support your hair. Simple steps like managing stress, eating nutrient-rich foods, being gentle with heat and tight styles, prioritizing sleep, and checking in on thyroid health can make a real difference.

Hair health isn’t just about what you put on your head. It’s a reflection of what’s happening inside your body. Talk to our pharmacist to see how we may be able to help.

What if aging didn’t have to mean slowing down? What if growing older could feel strong, energized, and full of life?

Aging is natural, but how we age is influenced largely by our daily habits. Longevity isn’t just about living longer; it’s about living better. More energy, mobility, clarity, and independence for years to come.

Simple, consistent choices make a powerful difference: nourishing foods, daily movement, quality sleep, stress management, strong muscles, meaningful connections, and balanced hormones all play a role in how well we age.

Small habits repeated over time shape our future. Aging is a gift, and taking care of your body today helps you enjoy it with strength, confidence, and joy tomorrow. Talk to our pharmacist to find out how we can support you as you age.

Before starting to take a new vitamin or supplement, always consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Vitamins play a vital role in keeping the body healthy, energized, and functioning properly. They support everything from immune health and energy production to strong bones, healthy skin, and organ function. Since your body can’t produce most vitamins on its own, getting the right balance through your diet (and sometimes supplements) is essential.

Many people don’t realize they may be low in certain vitamins, and deficiencies can quietly affect overall well-being. Recognizing the signs and addressing them with professional guidance is an important step toward better health.

✨ Why Numbing Agents Matter in Aesthetic Treatments ✨

From microneedling and chemical peels to lasers, tattoo removal, and injectables, today’s aesthetic treatments are more advanced and more common than ever. With that growth comes a rising expectation: effective results and a comfortable experience.

Topical numbing creams play a major role in making that possible. By temporarily blocking nerve signals in the skin, they help reduce discomfort so patients can relax and practitioners can work confidently. This improves satisfaction, encourages treatment plan follow-through, and supports better overall outcomes.

Many modern formulations combine anesthetics like lidocaine, tetracaine, benzocaine, and prilocaine for faster onset, deeper numbing, and smoother procedures. Combination formulas often outperform single agents, which is why many med spas partner with our compounding pharmacy for customized strengths and forms tailored to different treatments. 💫

🐾 How Compounding Supports Pets Facing Cancer 🐾

With cancer affecting 1 in 4 dogs and 1 in 5 cats, personalized care has never been more important. Many oncology medications aren’t made in pet-friendly forms, but veterinary compounding can help bridge the gap.

Custom formulations, like flavoured liquids, chewables, and transdermal gels, make treatments easier to give and less stressful for pets and owners. Compounded medications can also be tailored for nausea, appetite support, GI upset, and pain, helping pets stay comfortable throughout their care.

From tiny doses for small cats to specialized options for hard-to-medicate dogs, compounding allows vets to match the right medication to the right patient. 💛🐶🐱

🧠✨ Methylene Blue: A Potential Tool for Brain Health ✨🧠

Interest is growing in integrative approaches for brain health, and Methylene Blue is gaining attention for its exciting potential. Research shows it may support mitochondrial energy production, help neurons use oxygen more efficiently, and promote resilience in areas affected by conditions like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and age-related cognitive decline.

Low-dose Methylene Blue has also been studied for improvements in memory, focus, mood, and overall cognitive performance. Because purity and dosing matter, it’s prepared through compounding to meet individualized needs.

As science continues to evolve, Methylene Blue stands out as a potential option for those looking to support brain function, energy, and long-term neurological health. 💙🔬

✨ Progesterone: The Missing Piece for Many Women ✨

Progesterone does far more than support reproduction; it's a key hormone that can influence sleep, mood, cognition, and overall well-being. As levels naturally decline in perimenopause and menopause, many women experience symptoms like night sweats, trouble sleeping, mood changes, irregular bleeding, bloating, breast tenderness, and brain fog.

Compounded progesterone may help. It interacts with calming GABA-A receptors, supports emotional balance, helps improve sleep quality, and works alongside estrogen to support clearer thinking and better symptom control. It also plays an essential role in protecting the uterine lining and may support bone health.

With customized dosing and a variety of delivery options, progesterone can be tailored to each woman’s needs, helping to offer a more complete and balanced approach to hormone wellness.

✨ Ketotifen & MCAS: What to Know ✨

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) can trigger a wide range of symptoms, including flushing, itching, hives, GI discomfort, headaches, fatigue, and more, due to mast cells releasing mediators too easily.

Ketotifen is a unique medication that works in two ways:
✔️ As an antihistamine
✔️ As a mast cell stabilizer

This means it can help calm mast cell activity and may be able to reduce symptoms when traditional antihistamines aren’t enough.

Compounded ketotifen allows prescribers to customize strength and dosage forms, to help make it easier to support those dealing with persistent allergy-type symptoms or MCAS.

🦋 Your Thyroid Matters — And Compounding Can Help 🦋

That little butterfly-shaped gland in your neck plays a big role in metabolism, energy, mood, and overall well-being. When it’s not working properly, symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, hair loss, or mood shifts can sneak up quickly.

Our compounding pharmacy can support thyroid health by preparing personalized thyroid medications, including custom T3/T4 combinations and dosage forms tailored to your needs. This is especially helpful for patients who don’t feel their best on standard medications or need more precise dosing.

If you’ve been feeling “off,” it may be time to check your thyroid. A more customized approach could make all the difference.
