💩 Did you know your body hosts trillions of microbes, mostly inside your gut, which influence everything from digestion and immunity to mood and brain health?

Here’s how it works:
✔️ Your gut microbiome is a delicate balance between helpful and harmful bacteria. When that balance is disrupted, it can affect your whole body.

✔️ Through the gut-brain axis, your intestinal microbes communicate with your brain by producing neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine.

✔️ Targeted probiotics can help support digestion, immunity, mood, bone health and more by working with your unique gut microbiome.

Pop into our pharmacy today to explore how probiotics like Activated Probiotics might support your wellness journey, and ask our team to help you find the right one for your needs.

*Always read the label and use only as directed. Supplements are not a substitute for a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

🫁 World Pneumonia Day

Today, we spotlight pneumonia, a serious and often under-recognised illness that affects people of all ages around the world.

Why this matters:

🫁 Pneumonia is preventable and treatable, yet remains a leading cause of death, particularly in children under 5 and older adults.

🫁 Risk factors include weakened immunity, lung disease, smoking, air pollution, and lack of access to vaccines and treatment.

🫁 Early detection, good respiratory hygiene, vaccinations, and prompt treatment can make a life-saving difference.

How you can help:

✔️ Get up to date with your pneumococcal & flu vaccinations
✔️ Practice good respiratory hygiene — cover coughs and sneezes, wash hands often
✔️ Avoid smoking and limit exposure to air pollution
✔️ Seek help if you or someone you know has a persistent cough, fever, chest pain, or shortness of breath

📍 Visit us for advice on vaccination, respiratory support, and how to protect your lungs this season.
