Chemist + Druggist’s Independent Pharmacy of the Year 2021

Chemist + Druggist’s Independent Pharmacy of the Year 2021

Having shared the news of our nomination just over a month ago, we are proud to announce that we have been awarded Independent Pharmacy of the Year at this year’s Chemist and Druggist Awards.

We were delighted to be nominated, but to have received the award and to have our efforts on sustainability and a plastic free approach recognised by the judges is an honour. Our success would not have been possible without the support of our staff and customers who have driven us to continually improve our business and ensure we support our local community.

The Independent Pharmacy of the Year Award

The 2021 C+D Awards celebrated the very best in community pharmacies and shone a light on the significant role they have played in their local areas this year. To have been nominated alongside a host of other deserving nominees was a privilege and we were proud to witness the phenomenal work our peers in the industry do.

The Independent Pharmacy of the Year award focused on how we balance the demands of delivering modern, patient-centred health service alongside a strong, positive customer experience that rivals the big high-street retailers. Quality care and excellent customer service has always been central to our business and we are thrilled to have had that acknowledged in receiving the award.

Thank You For Your Support

We would like to thank our staff and customers for their continued support over the last 40 years and helping Landys Chemist thrive. This award would not have been possible without their efforts and we are proud to support our local community.

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:
