❤️ Hypertension Awareness Month

Do you know your blood pressure?

Many people don’t — yet it’s one of the most important health numbers to keep track of.

High blood pressure often has no noticeable symptoms, which is why it’s sometimes called a “silent condition.”

Regular monitoring can help you stay informed and take steps early if needed.

💬 Quick question:
Do you know your blood pressure?

1️⃣ Yes
2️⃣ Not sure
3️⃣ I’ve been meaning to check

Our Pure Pharmacists and Natural Health Advisors can answer questions about blood pressure, heart health, medications, and lifestyle support.

Speak with your Pure Pharmacy team to learn more.

Did you know that your body's natural levels of CoQ10 peak in your 20s and steadily decline as you age?

If you've noticed a dip in your daily energy levels or are looking for ways to support your cardiovascular system, Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is often a foundational piece of the puzzle.

What exactly is it? CoQ10 isn’t a vitamin or a mineral—it’s a naturally occurring coenzyme and powerful antioxidant found in almost every cell of your body. Think of it as a spark plug to help you convert the food you eat into clean cellular energy (ATP). ⚡️

Why do we focus on it as we get older?
- Cellular Vitality: It provides essential energy support for high-demand organs like your heart.
- Antioxidant Defense: It protects cells from oxidative stress.
- Medication Synergy: Certain common medications, like statins used for cholesterol management, can deplete your body’s natural CoQ10 levels, sometimes leading to muscle fatigue.

Because everyone’s health is unique, the right form and dosage can vary.

🌿 Let’s personalize your wellness journey. Drop by your local Pure Pharmacy to chat with our Natural Health Advisors and Pharmacists.Together, we can look at your current routine and find out if CoQ10 is the right fit for your unique goals.

💬 We’d love to hear from you: Have you ever added CoQ10 to your supplement routine? Let us know your experience in the comments below!

💧 Pure Integrative Pharmacy is always excited to work alongside healthcare teams that are passionate about helping people feel their best.

Take a look inside the Skinnovate IV lounge as Dr. Vinnie Dhillon shares how their IV lounge works and how IV nutrient therapy can deliver nutrients such as vitamin C, B vitamins, magnesium, trace minerals, and amino acids directly into the bloodstream through a slow infusion process.

Their team offers a variety of IV options tailored to individual wellness goals, with treatments administered by naturopathic physicians in a professional and supportive environment.

We’ve been very impressed by the thoughtful approach the Skinnovate team brings to integrative wellness, and we’re excited to be their partners here at Pure Integrative Pharmacy.

🌿 Why does skin start to change in your 40s — even if your routine hasn’t?

Thinner, drier, more reactive… or even unexpected breakouts.

These changes aren’t just cosmetic — they’re driven by real physiological shifts happening beneath the surface.

In the newest issue of LivePure, Dr. Joan Li, MD explores:
- How hormonal changes affect collagen, hydration, and skin structure
- Why skin can feel both dry and acne-prone at the same time
- The importance of barrier repair and photoprotection
- Evidence-based strategies that support long-term skin health

Because midlife skin isn’t about trends — it’s about understanding what’s actually changing and why.

☀️ Sunscreen every day… or just on sunny days?

UV exposure happens even when it’s cloudy, which is why daily protection can make a difference over time.

💬 Quick question for Skin Cancer Awareness Month:
When do you usually wear sunscreen?

1️⃣ Every day
2️⃣ Only on sunny days
3️⃣ Only in summer
4️⃣ Rarely / never

Beyond sun protection, regularly checking your skin can help you notice changes early.

Keep an eye out for:
• New or changing moles
• Irregular shapes or uneven colour
• Spots that itch, bleed, or don’t heal

If something doesn’t feel right, it’s always worth getting it checked by a healthcare professional.

Our Pure Pharmacy team can help guide you on sun protection and skincare products that support your routine.

Are your vaccines up to date?

What if your gut worked like a garden?

April is Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Awareness Month, a time to bring more attention to digestive health and the everyday symptoms many people experience.

When it’s well cared for, everything grows in balance. But when stress, travel, low fibre intake, antibiotics, lack of sleep, or hormonal shifts come into play, “weeds” can start to take over.

Bloating. Irregularity. Feeling uncomfortable or backed up.

The Sludge was designed to help support your internal garden by helping support healthy elimination and a more balanced digestive environment.

Because before you can plant new flowers, you need to prepare the soil.

You may benefit from extra gut support if you:
- Experience bloating or irregular digestion
- Have taken antibiotics (even in the past)
- Travel frequently
- Feel impacted by stress or hormonal changes
- Don’t consistently get enough fibre

The Sludge is available at 20+ Pure Integrative Pharmacy locations across BC.

Visit your local Pure Pharmacy to learn more about supporting your gut garden.
