The Lime In The Coconut: Not Just Your Average Pharmacy

At our Lake of the Ozarks compounding pharmacy, we have one primary goal: to help our clients be healthiest (and happiest!) that they can be. We have been in business for almost ten years, and in that time we have developed several unique skills, techniques, and services that set us apart from other pharmacies in the area. This week, we thought we'd share with you some of the unique things that make the Lime in the Coconut Specialty Compounding Pharmacy your #1 resource for all your pharmaceutical needs.

We Fit Our Medications To Our Patients (Not The Other Way Around)

 As the Lake's exclusive compounding-only pharmacy, each of our prescriptions are customized to each of our patients. Standardized medication is mass-produced in set dosages that may or may not be ideal for the patients taking them. By making each prescription specifically for the patient taking it, we ensure that the dosage amounts are perfectly aligned with their needs.

 We Really Get To Know Our Customers

 Your health is one of your top priorities - shouldn't it also be a top priority for the people making your medication? Our pharmacist and the rest of our staff makes a point to get to know our clients beyond their basic pharmaceutical needs. At The Lime, you're far more than just a prescription number; we are proud to treat our clients like the valued individuals that they are.

 We Offer More Than Just Compounding

Compound medication is our primary service and it's what we are known for, but our services extend far beyond that. In addiction to prescription medication, we offer...
  • A variety of herbal supplements and vitamins
  • Massage therapy
  • CranioSacral Therapy
  • Rx Skin Therapy products
  • Young Living essential oils
  • And more!

Our Patients Feel At Home Here

 Prescription drugstores and most retail pharmacies are rather uninviting; patients rush in, grab their prescriptions, and go. While we can certainly accommodate our patients' busy schedules, we want everyone to feel at home in our pharmacy in Lake Ozark MO. Everyone on our staff is warm and welcoming, and our decor matches our personality.

 Come See For Yourself!

 We're the best pharmacy at the Lake of the Ozarks, but you don't have to take our word for it! Check out the customer reviews on our Facebook page to see what our clients have to say about our pharmacy. You are also more than welcome to stop and see us at any time. We truly look forward to serving you!
Feel As Good On The Inside As You Do On The Outside!

7 Immune-Boosting Tips For The Coming School Year

August is officially here, which means that another school year is just around the corner. Every August, the start of the new school year brings new schedules, new friends, new knowledge, and (unfortunately), new germs. Households with teachers and school-age children often succumb to numerous colds, coughs, and other sicknesses soon after the school year begins. This year, your friends at our compounding pharmacy at the Lake of the Ozarks are here to help you ward off these nasty germs.

Boosting Your Immune System

 As the old saying goes, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Strengthening your immune system ahead of time is your best line of defense against the germs that run rampant at the start of the school year. By taking steps to boost your immune system now, you may be less likely to fall victim to the illnesses that attack most households this time of year.

 Tips To Strengthen Your Immune System

 1. Go For The Garlic
Garlic contains powerful antibodies and immune boosting agents that can help strengthen your immune system. Fortunately, garlic is a delicious seasoning that can be used on or in practically any of your favorite foods, including pizza, pasta, sauces, and more. Fresh, raw garlic is the most effective, so try to avoid cooking it too much if you can.

 2. Decrease Alcohol Intake
While the occasional beer or glass of wine probably won't hurt, you may be wise to avoid consuming large quantities of alcohol. In addition to being hard on the liver, consuming alcohol can impair the immune system and make you more susceptible to infections.
3. Get Plenty Of Sleep
Somewhere along the line, our culture became one that idolizes individuals who work so hard (both in their professional and personal lives) that they have little time leftover for sleep. However, the truth is that lack of sleep wears on our bodies more than we often realize (or care to admit). Getting plenty of sleep is one of the best ways to boost your immune system.

 4. Avoid Excess Stress
Stress affects more than our mental states - it also wears on our adrenal systems and can begin to take a toll on our physical states as well. Studies show that highly stressed individuals are more likely to succumb to colds and other illnesses. 

 5. Eat "Real" Foods
What are the primary foods you eat? Most health experts agree that eating "real" foods (that is, foods that come directly from nature) are the best when it comes to building and strengthening your immune system. Nuts, fruit, seeds, and vegetables are incredibly powerful immune-boosting agents.

 6. Up Your Vitamin D Intake
Vitamin D plays a big role in the strengthening of your immune system. During the summer, spending some time outdoors in the sunshine (without sunscreen) triggers the body's natural production of Vitamin D. However, most people don't spend enough time in the sun to get the needed effect. We offer Vitamin D supplements to help fill in the gaps.

 7. Wash Your Hands Frequently
If you actually stopped to think about all of the germs and bacteria your hands come into contact with on a daily basis, you might be horrified. The truth is that we touch thousands of these microscopic organisms every hour. Washing your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water is the best way to get rid of these germs before they get transferred to your body's more vulnerable locations, such as your eyes, nose, and mouth.

 Remember The Lime In The Coconut For All Your Health-Related Needs

 As the next school year gets underway, it's important to have a health ally that you can trust. Our Lake of the Ozarks pharmacy will be here to help in any way we can, from offering immune-boosting supplements to helping you combat any illnesses or infections that you might happen to pick up when the school year begins. For more information about our medicinal services at the Lake of the Ozarks, stop by and see us or give us a call at 573-964-6786. We look forward to assisting you!

9 Surprising Facts About Women's Health

"He who has health has hope, and he who has hope has everything." - Arabian Proverb

 "The greatest wealth is health." - Virgil

 "Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live." - Jim Rohn

 "To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear." - Buddha

These are just a sampling of the practically endless supply of quotes about health. While the exact wording of each quote varies, the underlying message is the same: health is one of the most important and valuable things in life. With it, we can achieve practically anything. Without it, we can achieve very little.

 Our compounding pharmacy at the Lake of the Ozarks is dedicated to helping our clients achieve optimum health and (in turn) happier, more productive lifestyles. We serve both male and female clients, but since the majority of our clients are women, we are dedicating this week's blog to further educating our clients about women's health. Below are a few interesting facts that you may not have known.

 9 Facts About Women's Health

 1.  Resistance training (any type of strength training, such as lifting weights) is a valuable way to prevent osteoporosis. Because fewer women participate in resistance training (and other bone-strengthening exercises), however, the National Osteoporosis Foundation reports that women make up 80% of Americans diagnosed with osteoporosis.

 2.  Women are less likely than men to develop an addiction to nicotine. However, once the addiction has been established, women often have a harder time breaking it than men do.

3.  1 in 3 women have been sexually abused at some point in their lives. Most commonly, they suffer the violence at the hands of someone they know - a husband, a father, an uncle, etc. Survivors of sexual violence often experience a vast array of health consequences, including reproductive challenges, depression, and STDs.

 4.  Women's bodies cannot process and break down alcohol as well as men's bodies do. As a result, women often have higher blood-alcohol content than men after drinking the same amount and experience stronger symptoms of intoxication.

 5.  The three most common causes of death for women in the United States are heart disease, cancer, and stroke.

 6.  Women are far more likely than men to develop an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia. According to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders, only 5-15% of people with anorexia or bulimia are men. Anorexia is a mental illness, not a physical one. However, it can cause serious health problems. According to the Eating Recovery Center, anorexia has a higher mortality rate than any other mental illness.

 7.  Female hormones impact countless different arenas. Women's hormones affect weight, skin tone, complexion, menstrual cycle, libido, metabolism, pain intensity, and even dental health.

 8.  Women are more likely than men to ignore symptoms that may help them identify health challenges early on.

 9.  Emotions are closely linked to health. Women who are stressed are much more likely to develop health problems than women who are relaxed.
