New on the blog: why calcium and vitamin D alone may not be enough to prevent falls and fractures, and why strength and balance training deserve the starring role.

A BMJ review found calcium and vitamin D supplements did little to prevent falls or fractures. Strength and balance training matter more.

Ever stood in the vitamin aisle wondering which multivitamin is actually worth it?

The best one for you really comes down to two things: matching the formula to your phase of life, and the quality of the nutrients inside. Two bottles can list the exact same vitamins and work very differently, because your body absorbs some forms far better than others.

A few things we always look for on a label: active folate (methylfolate) instead of folic acid, chelated minerals instead of cheap oxides, and third-party testing to confirm what is actually in the bottle.

We put together a simple guide that walks through all of it, including a label-reading checklist you can save for your next shopping trip. Read it here:

How to choose the right multivitamin: match the formula to your life stage, read the label for absorbable forms, and spot real quality markers.

Travel is wonderful. Your digestive system doesn't always think so.

New foods, different water, less sleep, and a schedule that's all over the place can throw your gut off balance right when you want to be enjoying the trip. A quality probiotic can help keep things steady, but here's the catch: not every probiotic is built for a suitcase. Some need to stay cold, and a warm car or a long travel day can quietly cut their potency.

That's where shelf-stable probiotics come in. Coastal's new guide walks through what makes a probiotic travel-ready and the picks worth packing for your next trip.

If refilling your estradiol patch has been a struggle lately, you are not imagining it.
Several patch strengths are on back order across manufacturers right now. Demand for menopause hormone therapy has climbed sharply and supply has not kept up, leaving many women worried about a gap in their care.
Here is the reassuring part: a shortage of one form does not mean going without. Estradiol comes in other forms, and there are personalized options worth exploring with your prescriber. The team at Coastal Pharmacy & Wellness is glad to work alongside your provider to find an approach that fits you.
Hard to find your patch? Reach out to the pharmacy team and let's talk through the possibilities.
