🌿 Taking supplements? Let’s talk safety. 💊

Just because it’s “natural” doesn’t mean it’s risk-free. Some supplements—like herbs, vitamins, or over-the-counter products—can interact with your medications in ways you might not expect.

Potential risks include:
⚠️ Reduced medication effectiveness
⚠️ Increased side effects or toxicity
⚠️ Unexpected reactions—even with common meds

At our compounding pharmacy, we offer personalized supplement and medication reviews to help keep your health plan safe and effective. Our pharmacists work closely with you and your provider, and we only carry pharmaceutical-grade supplements you can trust.

📞 Call or stop in today for a supplement check-in. Your safety comes first.

🦶 Struggling with stubborn foot or nail fungus? We’ve got a custom solution.

Fungal infections like athlete’s foot (Tinea Pedis) and nail fungus (Onychomycosis) can be tough to treat, especially when standard meds don’t pe*****te far enough to treat the condition. That’s where compounded antifungal therapies may come in.

Tailored treatments may include:
✔️ Custom topical creams or ointments
✔️ Nail lacquers that pe*****te the nail bed
✔️ Medications personalized to your needs and infection severity

Talk to your provider or our pharmacist about options for hard-to-treat fungal infections.

Menopause and your skin? Estrogen may play a bigger role than you think.

As estrogen levels drop during menopause, many women experience dry, thinning skin and reduced elasticity. One innovative option? Estrogen facial creams can be custom-compounded to help support skin health from the outside in.

Topical estrogens have been shown to help boost skin hydration, improve elasticity, support collagen production, and help minimize fine lines and dryness.

Talk to your provider or our pharmacist to learn more about how compounded estrogen creams may help support healthier, more vibrant skin during and after menopause.

💊 Chronic autoimmune pain is personal—and so should your treatment be.

For conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or MS, traditional medications can help manage inflammation, but not everyone tolerates them well. That’s where Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) may offer a gentler, non-opioid option.

LDN has been explored for its ability to help regulate the immune system and reduce inflammation, making it a potential option during flare-ups or for long-term symptom support.

Why consider compounded LDN?
✔️ Personalized dosing
✔️ Fewer side effects than traditional meds
✔️ Custom forms not commercially available

Our pharmacists work with your provider to find solutions that fit you.

😴 Struggling with sleep? You’re not alone.

Sleep is crucial for maintaining both your physical and mental health. While you rest, your body repairs tissue, balances hormones, strengthens immunity, and resets your brain for the day ahead.

Poor sleep can lead to:
⚠️ Weight gain & high blood pressure
⚠️ Low immunity & brain fog
⚠️ Increased stress, anxiety, or depression

Want better rest? Try a consistent sleep schedule, limiting screens before bed, and supplement support like magnesium, melatonin, or calming herbs

Small changes = better nights (and better days). Talk to our pharmacist about natural ways to improve your sleep.

🧠 Is your B12 level really “normal”? New research says… maybe not.

A recent study found that even B12 levels within the “normal” range may still be too low to fully support brain and nerve health, especially in older adults. Low B12 has been linked to:
Brain fog
Fatigue
Numbness or tingling
Mood changes

And too much of the wrong form of B12? That’s not ideal either—it may be tied to nerve stress and memory issues. If you're vegetarian, vegan, take certain meds, or have digestive issues, you could be at risk for deficiency.

Our pharmacist can help you explore high-quality supplements and personalized support.

💊 Losing weight—but also noticing hair loss? You’re not alone.

Some weight loss medications may lead to unexpected hair thinning or shedding. Why? It often comes down to reduced nutrient intake, hormonal changes, or even the physical stress of rapid weight loss.

The good news? Hair loss during weight loss is often temporary, and there are ways to support hair regrowth and minimize shedding.

Our pharmacists can help with personalized solutions like:
✔️ Nutritional guidance
✔️ Hair-support supplements
✔️ Topical or oral treatments
✔️ Side effect management

Let’s work together to support both your weight loss goals and your overall wellness, including your hair!

💧 Hydration = Energy. But it’s more than just water.

If you’re feeling tired, foggy, or crampy, your hydration (and electrolytes!) might be to blame. Staying energized means replenishing not just fluids, but essential minerals like sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. These electrolytes support muscle function, focus, and stamina.

🧂 Electrolytes = Fluid balance & energy
💪 Magnesium = Muscle recovery
🔥 B Vitamins = Helps convert food to fuel
🍉 Fruits & veggies = Hydration heroes

Too much caffeine, alcohol, or processed food? They zap hydration.

Try coconut water, mineral-rich foods, and daily habits that support balance.

Stay fueled. Stay focused. Stay hydrated.

Personalized Diabetes Care—Beyond Blood Sugar Control

Managing diabetes isn’t one-size-fits-all. Many patients face side effects, medication sensitivities, or related issues like neuropathy, hormone imbalances, or GI discomfort. That’s where compounded medications can make a real difference.

Our pharmacists work closely with your provider to customize therapies, adjusting dosage, delivery method, and ingredients to support your individual needs. From topical pain relief for diabetic neuropathy to personalized hormone support, compounding may be a helpful part of

If you or someone you love is managing diabetes and could benefit from a more personalized approach, we’re here to help.

💊 What is sublingual medication?

Placing medication under the tongue allows it to absorb quickly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for potentially faster results, higher potency, and fewer food or drug interactions.

Sublingual medications are a great option for those who:
✔️ Struggle with swallowing pills
✔️ Need fast-acting relief
✔️ Want to avoid GI side effects

Compounded sublingual forms can include tablets, films, sprays, or drops, and are tailored to your unique needs. Whether it’s for pain, hormone therapy, weight loss, or wellness, our pharmacist can work with your provider to create a custom solution that fits you.

Ask us if a sublingual option is right for your care.
