We hear these vitamin D myths at the counter all the time:

"I get plenty of sun." Season, sunscreen, and time indoors all cut how much your skin makes.
"Milk has me covered." A glass of fortified milk has around 100 IU. Helpful, but small.
"More is always better." Vitamin D builds up. The right dose beats the biggest dose.
"One test lasts forever." Levels change with seasons, age, weight, and meds.
"Normal means I'm fine." Where you land in the range, and how you feel, both matter.

Which one have you heard? Tell us in the comments. And if you've got a vitamin D question, stop by and ask.

Two people. Same height. Both 180 pounds.

One is 30% body fat. The other is 18%.

The scale says they're the same. Their bodies say otherwise.

The InBody at Laurel Family Drug shows what the scale can't, so you know if your hard work is building muscle, burning fat, or both.

30 seconds. Shoes off. Real answers.

Every scan comes with a free day pass to Trailtown Fitness, one block away. Book at the pharmacy counter or send us a message.

Steroids like prednisone can be lifesavers. They calm inflammation fast, and for a lot of conditions nothing works better.

But they touch almost every part of your body, and nobody should be surprised by the side effects. So here's the straight-talk version, head to toe 👉 swipe through.

A few quick wins:
✔️ Take your dose in the morning with food
✔️ Diabetic? Check your sugar more often
✔️ Using a steroid inhaler? Rinse and spit after every puff
✔️ On it long-term? Ask about calcium + vitamin D and regular eye exams
✔️ Never stop suddenly. Your doctor will taper you off.

The golden rule: lowest dose, shortest time.

Got questions about your steroid? Stop by the counter or send us a message. That's what we're here for.

Nobody tells you this at your checkup: after 50, you can lose muscle every year and the scale won't show it.

Muscle gets you up the stairs, out of the chair, and back up if you stumble. It's your independence.

An InBody scan at Laurel Family Drug shows how much you're carrying in your arms, legs, and core.

Every scan comes with a free day pass to Trailtown Fitness, one block away. No pressure. No judgment. Just real numbers and a place to start.

Some common medications can lower your vitamin D, and a lot of people are never told.

• Steroids like prednisone (long-term use)
• Certain seizure medications, like phenytoin and carbamazepine
• Cholesterol binders like cholestyramine
• Orlistat, a weight loss medication that blocks fat absorption

Please don't stop any medication on your own. These meds matter. Instead, ask us at the counter. We'll look over your list and help you figure out next steps with your provider.

Paying too much for your little blue pill? 💙

Same medication. Very different price. The big box chains can charge $231, and at Laurel Family Drug it's $30.

No awkward conversations, no runaround. Just a local pharmacist who'll give you a straight price and handle the rest. If you've got a prescription, transfer it to us. If you've got questions, send us a message. It stays between us.

Your bathroom scale gives you one number. It doesn't tell you what that number is made of.

Down 3 pounds? Could be fat. Could be water. Could be muscle, and that's the one you want to keep.

The InBody at Laurel Family Drug breaks it down in 30 seconds: muscle, body fat, water, even the fat around your organs.

Trailtown Fitness members, your first scan is on us. Scan now, train six weeks, scan again. Let the numbers do the talking.

Already taking vitamin D3? Here are 5 simple ways to get more out of it:

1. Take it with a meal that has some fat.
2. Make it a daily habit. Keep it by the coffee maker.
3. Don't forget magnesium. Your body uses it to process vitamin D.
4. Ask about K2. It's often paired with D3 to support healthy calcium use.
5. Recheck your levels after a few months.

Questions about what fits you? Stop by our wellness market and ask our pharmacist.
