A Complex Vitamin
The B complex is a well-known group of essential vitamins with important roles in the body, from metabolic health to nerve health to stress support and more. What is less known is that taking just any B-formula does not necessarily mean your body can use it. Why? Some people have genetic alterations that reduce their body’s ability to convert certain B-vitamins into their active forms. Other B-vitamins have several active forms with different benefits. Furthermore, the absorption and usage of any given B-vitamin can be affected by existing health conditions, or excessive or inadequate doses of that particular B-vitamin itself, or that of other B-vitamins.

The Costs of Deficiency
You cannot afford a B-vitamin deficiency. The importance of these vitamins is illustrated by the detrimental health effects that occur when they are deficient. For example, B1 deficiency has been linked to Type 2 diabetes. B12 deficiency leads to neurological disorders and anemia. B6 deficiency is associated with depression and neuropathy. B5 deficiency can contribute to stress-related burnout. Folic acid deficiency is associated with anemia and neural tube defects in infants.

Vitamins in Forms Your Body Can Use
B-vitamins are essential, and it is important to get the right amount in the right forms. Advanced B Complex delivers the biologically active and most efficient forms of these vitamins in balanced doses to ensure that you get the most out of your B-complex.

Kerrisdale Pharmacy
Vancouver, BC
Kerrisdale Pharmacy was established in the early 1970's by pharmacist Romeo Goulet and was subsequently sold to pharmacist Odie McNeil.

In November 1981, Michael Holyk made the trip west from his home in Westlock, Alberta (where he owned Holyk Super Drug Mart) and purchased the pharmacy from McNeil.

At this time the pharmacy was located in its original site at 2142 West 41st Avenue in Kerrisdale and measured only 2000 square feet.

Michael’s son Colin graduated from the Faculty of Pharmacy at UBC in 1990 and joined the team at the pharmacy. Seven years later, they undertook the move to their new (and current) location at 5591 West Boulevard. Shortly thereafter, Michael and Colin added a second pharmacy to the family when they purchased Hollyburn Pharmacy in West Vancouver, BC.

After 10 years in the new location they decided to renovate Kerrisdale Pharmacy, so they took over the next door site, expanded the pharmacy, added a medical clinic, and completed a floor to ceiling renovation - staying open the whole time through the construction dust and disruption in order to provide the top notch service that their clients had become accustomed to. A daunting task to say the least!

Shortly after moving the pharmacy in the 1990’s, pharmacist Eugene Mar joined the team and now shares the management duties of the pharmacy as Assistant Pharmacy Manager.

Since this time, Colin and Eugene have helped turn the pharmacy into a neighbourhood icon thanks to their diligent focus on comprehensive health care, a wide scope of services including compounding, and good, honest empathy for each person who walks through their door.
