    The Dangers Of Opioids and Fentanyl

    The Dangers Of Opioids and Fentanyl

    At HB Pharmacy, caring for the community is our top priority which is why we’re urging you to watch this video about the dangers of Fentanyl. With overdose rates climbing, it’s imperative to educate your family, friends and loved ones. Please help spread the message to not take any medication that’s not prescribed directly for you and filled for you by a licensed pharmacy.

    The motivation for this video came from a Facebook Post by Marissa Caballero about her 15 year old son Issaiah:

    Why Quality Matters For Supplements

    Why Quality Matters For Supplements

    "Supplements are crap!" 

    "Supplements are too expensive!"

    "Supplements don't work!"

    We hear all of those things and more frequently. Truthfully, it's with good reason. The dietary supplement industry as a whole can lack transparency, ESPECIALLY in terms of ingredient quality and sourcing.

    Mike Muoio from Ortho Molecular discusses all of that and more, including why manufacturing quality, ingredient sourcing, testing, and a commitment to excellence have helped Ortho Molecular stand out as a high quality brand trusted by practitioners and patients around the country.
