Common Questions from Seniors

Do I really need to take vitamins at my age?

It depends on your diet, health conditions, and medications. Many seniors are deficient in Vitamin D (80%+ in Canada), B12 (up to 30% over 60), and calcium. A pharmacist can review your situation and recommend only what you actually need — not a cabinet full of expensive supplements.

Can vitamins interact with my medications?

Yes — this is critical. For example, Vitamin K can reduce Warfarin's effectiveness. Calcium can block thyroid medication absorption. St. John's Wort interacts with dozens of drugs. Always have a pharmacist review supplements against your medication list before starting anything new.

What time of day should I take my vitamins?

It varies by vitamin. Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) absorb better with food containing fat. B12 and iron are best on an empty stomach. Calcium and iron should be taken separately. We can create a personalized schedule that works with your medications.

Are expensive brands better than cheaper ones?

Not necessarily. What matters is the form of the vitamin (some absorb better), the dose, and third-party testing. We can recommend quality options at various price points — you don't need to spend a fortune to get what you need.

How much does a vitamin consultation cost?

Our vitamin and supplement consultations are completely free. We review your medications, health conditions, and current supplements to give you personalized recommendations. No purchase required — we just want you to take the right things safely.
