el Norte Pharmacy recognizes the many benefits nutritional supplements can provide when used properly. They are passionate about providing services and products aimed at improving the overall health and well-being of our community. Even with a balanced diet and adequate exercise, the stress of daily life can leave gaps in our nutrition, causing inflammation and tissue damage. The body’s immune response is responsible for repairing damage and keeping tissues healthy. Del Norte Pharmacy offers a wide variety of high quality, pharmaceutical grade nutritional supplements designed to support the body’s immune response. Recent research in chronic inflammation and the body’s immune response has led to
the discovery of an additional way the body utilizes omega-3 fatty acids. Components in omega-3 fatty acids, primarily EPA and DHA, are used to form specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs). SPMs are responsible for resolution of the body’s natural immune response. Factors such as an individual’s health status or the progression of aging can interfere with the production of SPMs. When the immune response is left unresolved, it may negatively impact overall tissue health and how the body repairs tissue damage. This can result in chronic inflammation caused by an abundance of pro-inflammatory mediators. With this recent research about the importance of SPMs, Del Norte Pharmacy has decided to supplement their current omega fatty acid line with a new product targeted to support the body’s immune response. OmegaGenics SPM Active is one such product, and it includes a proprietary extract from fish oil that isolates two specific SPMs (17-HDHA and 18-HEPE). This product can be used alone or in combination with other omega fatty acid supplements to help combat chronic inflammation and improve the body’s immune response. This is just one example of the nutritional products the pharmacy provides to help people combat health problems and achieve their health goals. Del Norte Pharmacy specializes in providing the highest quality, science-
based nutritional supplements. As many people know, all vitamins and supplements are not created equal. Nature’s Source Vitamins is a pharmaceutical grade supplement line made with pure, naturally derived ingredients. They are created by health care professionals who continually incorporate nutrition as a part of their standard of care when treating their patients. Many of their supplements serve to provide a good foundation for overall nutritional support, while others are designed to address patient specific needs. Del Norte Pharmacy, in collaboration with Nature’s Source Vitamins, constantly strives to create and supply products based on the latest scientific research and technology. They recognize the importance of quality for supplements to be safe and effective. The entire Nature’s Source Vitamin line exceeds USP standards for quality and dissolution. In order for supplements to be effective, they must remain stable and must quickly dissolve to be absorbed and utilized by the body. Del Norte Pharmacy continually strives to meet the needs of their patients and customers. Providing high quality nutritional supplements is just one more way this local pharmacy seeks to improve the health of people in our community.
