Staying healthy or achieving a healthier lifestyle is a priority for many these days when a strong immunity can spell the difference between wellness and catching diseases. While many can meet their nutrition needs by eating healthy, many still need that extra boost, and for this, they turn to supplements.
Recognizing the importance of boosting nutrition as one’s first defense against illnesses, Apotheca Integrative Pharmacy (AIP) offers compounded medicines tailored to individual conditions and needs.
A pioneer specialty compounding pharmacy and the first licensed compounding pharmacy in the country by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), AIP strives to provide Filipinos, through partnership with their doctor, an alternative means of improving their nutrition and health instead of relying solely on the one-size-fits-all approach of mass-produced medications.
AIP’s Nutraceuticals line of compounded medicines is specifically developed for nutrition and immunity-boosting. Solutions include a combination of vitamins C, D, and zinc that can bolster health and prevent diseases in all stages of life. When combined with a healthy diet, these nutraceuticals contribute better to health promotion.
AIP also customizes sterile solutions that contain some or all the necessary nutrients that deliver essential vitamins and minerals to the bloodstream through its IV Nutrition. The pharmacy’s top sterile IV solutions include ascorbic acid, which is necessary for collagen formation and tissue repair,
AIP also offers through its IV Nutrition the Myer’s Cocktail, an intravenous vitamin-and-mineral formula that can improve a wide range of clinical conditions. Some of its key ingredients are calcium for bone and teeth health, magnesium chloride for muscle regulation and nerve functions, Vitamin B complex for increased energy levels, metabolism and brain function, and Vitamin C for fast tissue repair and strengthened immunity.
Nutraceuticals and IV Nutrition therapies are among the most sought-after compounded solutions from AIP, reflecting the growing demand among Filipinos for personalized supplements and medicines that cater to their specific needs and preferences.
For those that have to take more than three or four supplements a day, depending on dose and active ingredient, AIP can combine all in a single pill for easier ingestion. The pharmacy can also personalize formulas in terms of form and flavor, meaning the medicines can be in gel, capsule, liquid or even candy configuration and can have flavoring for ease of use.
Aside from complying to up-to-date regulations and standard practice for compounded preparations set by the Philippine FDA, AIP also adheres to USP (United States Pharmacopoeia) grade active ingredients to assure clients of excellent-quality products.
