New backpacks, new routines, new learning — let’s fuel those growing brains, too! 💚

DHA is one of the most important omega-3 fats for the brain. It’s highly concentrated in brain tissue and plays an essential role in brain development, neuronal communication, learning and healthy cognitive function.

And brain health doesn’t stop when school does! 🧠 Research continues to explore DHA’s potential neuroprotective effects and its role in healthy brain aging, including research surrounding Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

✨ Neuromega by Alterra Herbasanté provides 2,750 mg of DHA per teaspoon — the highest amount of DHA per serving currently available on the Canadian supplement market!

🇨🇦 Canadian made
🍊 Orange
🍓 Cranberry/Raspberry
🧠 Brain support for growing minds + lifelong brain health

Back to school. Back to routines. Back to brain support! 💚

At Mortar & Pesto Natural Pharmacy, we believe you deserve full transparency about every prescription you take.

One of the biggest differences between us and many traditional pharmacies is that we don’t just dispense medications—we educate you on how they may affect your body, including important nutrient depletions like Vitamin B12.

Unfortunately, this is information that isn’t routinely discussed, even though it can have a significant impact on your health. Many pharmacists and physicians have some catching up to do when it comes to nutrient depletion and preventative care.

No worries—we’ve got you. 🌿

Our team stays informed on the latest evidence in natural and conventional medicine so we can help you achieve the best possible health outcome.

If you’re taking medications like pantoprazole, omeprazole, metformin, certain cholesterol medications, or other long-term acid-reducing medications, it may be worth assessing your B12 status.

We offer B12 assessments in-store.

If you’ve been experiencing:

* Fatigue or low energy 🥱
* Brain fog or poor concentration 🧠 ☁️
* Tingling or numbness in your hands or feet 📌 🦶
* Mood changes or low mood 😢 😡
* Shortness of breath 🫁
* Pale skin

…it could be time to take a closer look.

At Mortar & Pesto, we believe healthcare should be proactive, transparent, and personalized—because you deserve to understand why you’re taking a medication and how to support your body while you’re on it.

📍 Visit us in Red Deer to book your B12 assessment or speak with our pharmacy team.

When the gut lining becomes compromised — often referred to as “leaky gut” — its effects may extend far beyond bloating, gas, or digestive discomfort.

🧠 COGNITIVE FUNCTION
The gut-brain connection is incredibly important. Changes in gut health and inflammation may influence mood, mental clarity, and cognitive function.

🔥 INFLAMMATION & BODY PAIN
Gut barrier dysfunction can be associated with systemic inflammatory processes throughout the body, which may play a role in discomfort such as joint and muscular pain.

✨ SKIN HEALTH
Think of your skin as an external reflection of what’s happening internally. The gut-skin connection is a fascinating area of research, and imbalances in the gut microbiome have been associated with inflammatory skin conditions including eczema, psoriasis, and acne.

Your gut isn’t an isolated system — it communicates with your immune system, brain, skin, and the rest of your body.

💚 SUPPORT YOUR GUT. SUPPORT YOUR WHOLE BODY.

At Mortar & Pesto Natural Pharmacy, we’re currently offering 25% OFF GlutaShield® — a clinical-grade gut health supplement formulated to support gastrointestinal health and the gut lining.

✨ If you’ve been focusing on your gut, it may be time to think beyond digestion.

Rainy days don’t have to bring your mood down. 🌧️

Alberta has been getting a LOT of rain this summer, and if you’re someone who counts on those long, bright summer days to boost your energy and mood, you may be feeling the difference.

Supporting your body with the right nutrients can be one small part of your overall wellness routine. At Mortar & Pesto, we carry a variety of products that support healthy nervous-system function, mood, and overall wellbeing — including:

💊 Vitamin B6 (P-5-P) — supports neurotransmitter production and nervous-system function
☀️ Vitamin D3 + K2 — helps support vitamin D levels, especially when sunshine is limited
🌿 5-HTP Synergy — a targeted formula traditionally used to support mood and serotonin production

Of course, supplements aren’t a replacement for sunshine, movement, nourishing food, sleep, or connecting with the people you love — but they can be a helpful addition to your wellness routine.

So while the rain keeps falling… don’t let the rain get you down. 💚

Come chat with us at Mortar & Pesto and we’ll help you find the right support for your individual needs.
