Staff Apothecary Picks
At Helios Integrated Medicine, we pride ourselves on making Apothecary recommendations tailored to you and your needs. However, that also means we don’t always get to suggest some of our favorite products. Here are some items we currently love - all available at The Apothecary, located in the Helios office.
Important Note: Every brand and product that we offer at The Apothecary has been vetted by our practitioners for safety and effectiveness. The supplement industry is poorly regulated in the U.S., so there are many products on the market that contain little to none of the compounds they claim to have. There are even reported cases of expired and counterfeit supplements being sold at large retailers. If you have questions about supplements, you can call or visit The Apothecary to learn which products we trust and why. Autumn will be happy to assist you!

Helios Staff Recommendations:
Pierre Brunschwig, MD
Glycine 1500mg: A bedtime for better sleep. Since I started taking it, I’ve spent much less time getting back to sleep if I awaken at night.
I've also fallen in love with lysine after studying its broad antiviral activity, its ability to assist in wound healing and its potential to assist in Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).
Large dosages of Glycine are tolerated well. 1000-3000mg/day divided as 500mg, 1-3qty, 2x/day.
Apothecary Price: $32.60 for 180 capsules or 6-2 months supply, depending on dose.

Multimmunity: It’s more than your basic multi-vitamin. It lowers oxidative stress, helps with brain recovery and supports heart health. It also has a proprietary blend of nutriceuticals that protect from environmental toxins (radiation - think mammograms and excess sun exposure), while repairing mitochondria to recover from concussion, injury and inflammatory conditions. It has helped reduce my biological age on my CIMT. I recommend it for anyone over the age of 50 and those with inflammatory conditions.
Apothecary Price: $59.50 for 180 capsules or 1 month supply.

Some of our newest additions at the Apothecary have become a fast favorite of mine. Both of these are also THC free.
Nano Bella Sublime Elixir CBG/CBD tincture: This has helped me sleep through the night more than anything else I’ve tried. For the first time in my life, I'm waking up in the same position I fell asleep in, instead of tossing and turning and re-positioning all night. It only takes two drops in your mouth before bed.
Apothecary Price: $45.00 for 10ml.
Nano Bella CBG/ CBN Topical Muscle Balm: This is by far the best topical muscle pain balm I have ever used. This year it has given me great relieve from a rib injury and a thrown out back
Apothecary Price: $75.00 for 50ml.

NightRest with Melatonin by Source Naturals: It’s relatively inexpensive and it works! I take 2 tablets every night to help me fall asleep. I find that it gently quiets the monkeys in my brain that make falling asleep difficult.
Apothecary Price: $9.98 for 90 tablets or 25 day supply.
Marguerite:
LMNT Electrolytes: A perfect pick me up for a sluggish afternoon or just simply being a little active at high altitude. I will dilute 1 packet in 32 oz of water every other day or as needed.
Apothecary Price: $44.99 for 30 packets or 1-2 month supply.

Oliko Classic Ginger Beer: A bold but healthy choice, spicy and tangy, made with all-natural organic ingredients. It’s a great probiotic beverage that doesn’t sacrifice taste.
Apothecary Price: $2.50 per can.
Autumn
Culturelle Health and Wellness Probiotic: Containing the probiotic strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG. It’s the most studied probiotic to date and has a wide range of benefits, including gut health, immunomodulation, and even GABA production. Recent studies suggest that daily intake of L. rhamnosus GG can be an effective prophylactic against illness. Take one capsule at any time of day. Consistency is key!
Apothecary Price: $38.66 for 30 capsules (15 billion CFU each) or 1 month supply.
