A pharmaceutical company in Nigeria, CHI Pharma, has partnered with Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria-Young Pharmacists Group (PSN-YPG), Lagos Chapter to highlight importance of daily supplementation for long term health.
The event, held recently, brought together young pharmacists to discuss crucial aspects of proactive healthcare, with a significant focus on the benefits of daily supplementation for sustained well-being.
Keynote speaker Pharm. Bunmi Olugbeja, Chief Executive Officer of Primeah Pharmacy, delivered an insightful presentation emphasizing the critical role of daily supplementation in addressing nutrient deficiencies prevalent in modern society.
Pharm. Olugbeja highlighted how contemporary dietary habits, the impact of medications, and food processing methods can deplete essential vitamins and minerals, creating nutritional gaps that can impact long-term health.
“With the exception of Vitamin D, all micronutrients must be obtained from external sources,” stated Pharm. Olugbeja.
“However, factors such as soil depletion, excessive cooking, and medication use often prevent individuals from obtaining the necessary nutrients for optimal health.
“It is crucial for healthcare providers and patients to recognize the potential for drug-induced nutrient depletion and consider dietary adjustments or supplementation as a vital part of comprehensive treatment plans.”
Pharm. Olugbeja stressed that a proactive approach to healthcare, which includes recognising the value of supplements, particularly those rich in antioxidants, can play a significant role in preventing age-related diseases and promoting overall well-being.During the event,
Pharm. Joy Ndionuka, Assistant Area Sales Manager at CHI Pharma, presented Supramult, a premium dietary supplement from CHI Pharma, as a key solution for bridging these nutritional gaps.
She detailed how Supramult, a comprehensive multivitamin and multimineral formula, is meticulously crafted to support overall health and well-being.”Supramult is packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including Vitamins A, C, D, E, and Zinc, which are vital for boosting the immune system.
