We've Been Nominated For Two Awards In 2021

We've Been Nominated For Two Awards In 2021

We are delighted to share the news that Landys Chemist has been nominated for two awards this month. The first award is Family Business of the Year at the SME National Business Awards. Secondly, we have been nominated for the Independent Pharmacy of the Year at the Chemist and Druggist Awards.

To be nominated for both these awards is a huge honour and we owe a great deal of gratitude to our customers and staff in helping us reach these achievements. Our success over the last 40 years can be attributed to the contributions of both groups and it would be remiss of us not to acknowledge their wonderful support.

The Family Business Of The Year Award

The Family Business of the Year award highlights businesses that combine their passion in business with their shared family values. At Landys, we have always strived to ensure our values of quality, commitment and integrity are adhered to throughout the company. 

We have always sought to provide quality healthcare services to the local community and our family values, which have been at the heart of the business for 40 years, ensure we continue to do so. We are proud to be named as one of the finalists for the award.

The Independent Pharmacy Of The Year Award

The Independent Pharmacy of the Year acknowledges pharmacies that balance the demands of delivering modern, patient-centred health services while offering a customer experience that rivals the big high-street retailers. 

Our customers are central to our business and we are committed to providing them with the highest quality service along with a customer experience that encourages loyalty. It is why the business has existed for over 40 years and why we have customers that continue to come back to us on a regular basis. 

To be nominated for Independent Pharmacy of the Year is a wonderful recognition of our commitment to our customers and the quality care we strive to deliver.

All you need to know

What supplements should I take daily?

If you follow a well-balanced and healthy diet, every day, your body should be getting the right amount of nutrients it needs. However, ensuring you have the right amounts of each nutrient, across vitamins, minerals, proteins, amino acids and more, is difficult to track. And that's before you consider any restrictions, such as if you have allergies to certain foods or are following a vegan diet. 

You should speak to your GP if you think you need to take daily supplements, as they can advise what you might need based on your eating habits and lifestyle. As a starting point, you can find the recommended daily amounts of vitamins and minerals in our glossaries:

Do supplements really work?

Yes, supplements really work. They supply your body with the vitamins, minerals and/or other nutrients in doses that can be absorbed by your body. It's hard to define how necessary supplements are as it will depend on your eating habits and lifestyle. However, in general, Western society has moved away from the kinds of nutritionally balanced diets that would allow us to get all the nutrients we require – hence people consider supplementation. There are times when supplements are considered a necessity, such as during pregnancy when pregnancy supplements are NHS recommended regardless of how balanced the pregnant person's diet is.

What supplements should men and women take daily?

There are some vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that are recommended for everyone to take and there are some that are needed in different amounts, typically, for men and women. This is why we have supplements for women and supplements for men that are sold separately – it's not just a marketing choice. If you aren't sure what daily supplements you should take, then speak to your GP and get their advice.

Recommended vitamin and mineral supplement brands

There are many excellent high-end nutrient, vitamin and mineral supplement brands. Some of the most popular and recommended include:
