Magnesium is everywhere right now. And honestly, that's not the problem. The problem is the form of magnesium and your intended use case. Many people don't know this but there are many forms of magnesium that serve different purposes in the body.

One of the magnesium supplements we carry (Mighty Mag) uses two chelated forms: lysinate glycinate and di-magnesium malate. These absorb through a completely different pathway in the gut, with significantly higher bioavailability and notably less GI distress than the standard options.

Magnesium runs over 300 reactions in the body. Sleep, energy, muscle function, blood sugar regulation, bone health. If you're going to supplement it, the form matters.

We have it at the pharmacy. Come by or give us a call.

Too many times this situation happens. You call the pharmacy. The pharmacy contacts the insurance. The insurance denies coverage of the medication without a prior authorization from the doctor. The doctor provides the prior authorization. The pharmacy contacts the insurance. The pharmacy contacts you.

While this is going on you've been waiting 4 days for your medication.
This isn't anyone's fault. It's just what happens when a system built around billing replaces one built around people.

At Kitch, we work through all of it, prior auths, insurance rejections, the whole circus. But honestly? Our bigger goal is helping you get healthy enough that you don't need 10 medications in the first place.

Preventive medicine is the future and the best way to support the health and wellness of our patients. And that's kind of the point of Kitch Pharmacy. We want to be a personalized medicine pharmacy instead of a pharmacy that only dispenses medications.

Give us a call or stop by, we would love to get to know you.

What the heck are even menopause supplements?

I walk past our supplement wall every day. And that question keeps coming up.

Because the label doesn't actually tell you what you think it does.

Two women. Both perimenopause. Same hormonal window, same general stage of life. One has brain fog, bad sleep, and anxiety. The other has hot flashes, joint pain, and fatigue. Same label. Completely different picture.

Should they take the same supplement? No. Should they be on the same hormone dose if HRT makes sense for them? Also no.

"Menopause supplements" as a category implies there's a one-size answer to something that is deeply personal. Your hormones aren't your neighbor's hormones. What's low or shifting in your body is specific to you.

We believe in personalized medicine. That means before reaching for any supplement or starting hormone therapy, the most useful thing you can do is get your labs done and take stock of your specific symptoms. What's actually happening in your body, right now, for you.

That's where the real conversation starts. Not at the label.

We can help you figure out where to begin. Stop by or give us a call.

Atorvastatin was one of the most (if not the most) prescribed medication in the country last year. We don't think every problem needs a prescription. We also don't think prescriptions are the enemy. We think every person deserves an actual conversation about what's driving their numbers and what the right path looks like for them specifically. That's the kind of pharmacy we try to be

Cholesterol numbers respond to the right inputs. Cutting refined carbs and added sugar consistently moves numbers more than people expect. So does increasing soluble fiber, getting regular movement in, and managing sleep. These aren't small variables. For a lot of people they're the difference between needing a statin and not needing one.

Beyond diet and lifestyle, a few supplements have real clinical research behind them for this specifically. Bergamot has shown up to 36 percent reduction in LDL in clinical studies. Berberine has similar data, around 15 to 20 percent LDL reduction. Quality fish oil is well supported for triglycerides. These aren't replacements for a physician's evaluation. They're tools worth knowing about before defaulting to a prescription.

And if a statin is where you land, ask about CoQ10. Statins reduce it as a side effect of how they work, and it matters for how your muscles feel and function.

Ashwagandha is probably one of the most talked about supplements in my pharmacy right now. Almost every person who comes in stressed is already taking Ashwagandha. Most of them aren't getting the results they expected.

It's not the herb. It's that they're taking it alone, without knowing what their body actually needs alongside it.

Your body moves through three stages of stress. Which stage you're in changes what Ashwagandha needs to go with it.

In that acute, wired, anxious phase? Pair it with Rhodiola. Rhodiola helps keep your mood stable and your brain working when everything feels like too much. Clinical research shows it preserves the neurotransmitters that stress chews through fast.

If stress has become your baseline, not a crisis, just grinding, your body is working hard to hold things together. Add Eleuthero. It supports physical endurance and helps your cardiovascular system carry the load.

If you're fully depleted, foggy no matter how much you sleep, dragging all day, this is where it gets counterintuitive. Most people assume the goal is always to lower cortisol. But in true burnout, your body can barely make enough. You need to preserve what little you have, not suppress it more. Licorice Root helps your body hold onto cortisol instead of burning through it.

Same herb. Three completely different co-pilots depending on where you are.

If you're not sure which stage fits you, that's a good conversation to have before you keep buying supplements that aren't moving the needle. Stop by or give us a call.
