🐟 Not all fish oil is created equal.
If you’re taking an omega-3 supplement, don’t just look for the words “Fish Oil” on the front of the bottle.
👉 Turn it around and look for EPA + DHA.
EPA and DHA are the key omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil that help support heart health, brain function, healthy inflammation response, and overall wellness.
And quality matters. A big number for “total fish oil” doesn’t necessarily mean you’re getting a meaningful amount of EPA and DHA.
When choosing an omega-3, look for:
✔️ Clearly listed amounts of EPA and DHA
✔️ A concentrated, high-quality source
✔️ Purity and quality testing
✔️ A trusted manufacturer

Read the back of your bottle. Quality matters. 💙

Feeling like stress is hitting harder than it used to? Your B vitamins may be worth a closer look.
B vitamins are sort of like shock absorbers on your car. 🚗
Your car’s shocks help it handle all the bumps in the road—and B vitamins play an important role in helping your body support energy production, nervous system function, and a healthy response to everyday stress.
But here’s something many people don’t realize: the FORM matters.
Our B Complex Plus contains methylated B vitamins, including forms that are already biologically active and ready for the body to use. That’s one reason I pay attention to more than just the number on the label when choosing a B complex.
If you’re tired of grabbing just any B vitamin off the shelf, it may be time to look at what’s actually inside.
Think of B vitamins as your body’s shock absorbers—because life has plenty of bumps. 💙

🚗 Think of B vitamins like the shock absorbers on your car.
Everyday stress, busy schedules, poor sleep, and just life in general can make us feel like we’re hitting one pothole after another. B vitamins help support your body’s normal energy production, nervous system, and response to everyday stress.
But here’s what many people don’t realize: the FORM of your B vitamins matters.
Our Houck Pharmacy B Complex Plus contains key B vitamins in methylated, bioavailable forms—forms your body can readily use. That’s one reason I always tell people to look beyond the number on the front of the bottle and actually look at the forms on the label.
If you’re taking a B complex and wondering why you don’t notice much difference, it may be time to take a closer look at what’s actually in it.
Think of a quality B complex as your body’s shock absorbers for everyday life. 🚗💨

❤️ Looking for a natural way to SUPPORT healthy cholesterol?
Meet Bergamot Cardio—one of my favorite supplements for people who want to be proactive about their heart health.
Bergamot is a citrus fruit grown in southern Italy that contains naturally occurring polyphenols and flavonoids. It’s getting a lot of attention because research has explored its role in supporting:
❤️ Healthy cholesterol levels already within a normal range
❤️ Healthy LDL and triglyceride levels
❤️ A balanced lipid profile
❤️ Overall cardiovascular wellness
What I love about bergamot is that this isn’t just another trendy ingredient—it’s actually been studied in human clinical research.
If you’ve been working on your diet, exercise and lifestyle and are looking for additional nutritional support for healthy cholesterol, Bergamot Cardio may be worth asking us about.
Stop into Houck Pharmacy Compounding & Wellness or shop online to learn more.
Dietary supplements are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Bergamot Cardio is not a replacement for prescribed cholesterol medication. Talk with your healthcare provider before making changes to your medications or supplement routine.

💤 Taking magnesium but not noticing much? The FORM matters.
Magnesium glycinate is one of my favorite forms of magnesium because it’s highly absorbable and gentle on the stomach—and now we have it in an easy-to-use powder with 300 mg of magnesium per scoop.
Magnesium plays a role in hundreds of processes in the body and can help support:
✨ Relaxation & a healthy stress response
😴 Restful, quality sleep
💪 Normal muscle function & recovery
❤️ Healthy nerve and cardiovascular function
🦴 Bone health
And because it’s a powder, it’s a great option if you don’t want to swallow more capsules. Just mix a scoop into water and make it part of your evening routine.
If you’ve tried magnesium before and wondered why you weren’t getting what you expected, check the form on your bottle. Magnesium glycinate can make all the difference.
👉 Stop into Houck Pharmacy or shop with us online to try our Magnesium Glycinate Powder — 300 mg per scoop.
