At the Home Care Pharmacy location in the E.J. Fennel Building, some special "wellness" services are being offered. Nutritional "breakthroughs" are appearing almost daily in the press...St. Johns Wort, Glucosamine, antioxidants, to name a few...making it difficult for most of us to know what products are beneficial, and what products are right for us. At the Wellness Store, we can assist you to make the right choices.

As we live longer, we have become more aware of the importance of treating our bodies right so that we can maintain a high quality of life. We know that what we eat has a major impact on how we feel. With todays busy lifestyles, and modern food processing techniques, it is difficult to know whether or not we are maintaining optimal nutrition levels.

In addition, many of us are taking medications or have conditions that may deplete our bodies of necessary nutrients which need to be replaced for our bodies to best perform their normal functions. Antibiotics, diabetes, birth control, estrogen replacement, and high blood pressure medications are some of the situations where vitamins and supplements can provide a benefit.

With the help of a comprehensive computer database, we are able to provide you with the latest nutritional information, and assist you in making appropriate decisions based on your personal needs. Additionally, as part of this program, we now offer a wider range of high quality, all natural, vitamins, minerals, supplements, herbs, and aroma-therapy supplies.

The following are the new services from the Wellness Store:

1. Optimal Nutrient Analysis: Upon completion of a brief health assessment questionnaire, we can provide a personalized optimum daily intake recommendation. This information tells you what your body needs a daily basis for optimal function. The fee for this service is $15.

2. Comparative Nutrient Analysis: Upon completion of a health assessment questionnaire and a food and daily activity diary, we are able to provide a personalized and comprehensive nutritional analysis. Trouble areas are identified and appropriate natural therapies are recommended. There is a $25 fee for this service.

3. Wellness Consultation: You may schedule a personal in-depth consultation with one of our specially trained pharmacists to review your Comprehensive Nutritional Analysis. The fee for this service is $30 per half hour.

4. Natural Products: We have a wide inventory of high quality, all natural products that have been identified and selected by experts in the field. Our trained pharmacists can help you choose the best products for your individual needs so that youre not wasting your time and money on products that may not be effective or may not be right for you.
