Simple Nourishment
Disease Prevention
Prescription medications are an integral part of improving the health of patients on a daily basis. However, a topic that is just as important as treating disease states is indeed preventing the diagnosis. The most common way to increase patient care as well as chronic disease state prevention is life style modifications. These commonly include physical activity as well as nutritional education which challenge patients to not simply crash diet but change eating and activity habits. However, another change that can assist in disease state prevention is nutritional supplementation. The idea of using nutritional supplements in conjunction with lifestyle changes focuses on replenishing what the body uses on a daily basis. By restoring those vitamins and minerals that the body continually uses, the body is able heal its self and rejuvenate.
Exclusive Line
The main concern with using vitamins and supplements is the origin of the products. Many health care professionals are hesitant to recommend specific products as a result of unreliable data regarding the contents of the product as well as the validity of the supplement origin. Avant Pharmacy & Wellness in Charlotte, NC has created an exclusive line of quality supplements that can only be found at each of the company’s three locations. The products are manufactured by a compounding company that promotes quality of products and that have been approved by the government for patient use, called “Simple Nourishment”. The history behind the name of the line refers to the company’s desire to provide care to all patients in a holistic approach. The pharmacy specializes in unique services including Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, pharmacogenetics, disease state education, medication synchronization, adherence packaging, free delivery, compounding of hormones, and other medications.
Consultations
The line of vitamins, minerals and supplements range from Vitamin C and calcium to combinations of supplements to support brain health and memory. Specific products can be found at an Avant location where a licensed pharmacist can assist in helping choose the best product for patient needs. A quick consultation can produce information regarding the nutrients that each body may be lacking due to current lifestyle or medications. In-depth Medication Therapy Management sessions may reveal what nutrients prescription medications may be depleting from the body. Consultations may also cover nutrients that must be restored as each individual ages.
