Toronto, ON. March 16, 2022 – Mednow Inc. (TSXV:MNOW)(OTCQB:MDNWF)(“Mednow” or the “Company”), Canada’s on-demand virtual pharmacy, is proud to announce it has launched Total Health by Mednow Inc. (TSXV:MNOW)(OTCQB:MDNWF) which strives to provide consumers focused on preventive health, with science and evidence-based personalized supplement plans. With the launch of Total Health, Mednow Inc. (TSXV:MNOW)(OTCQB:MDNWF) aims to counter consumer confusion about supplements and help Canadians achieve their health goals. Total Health was designed to help people interested in taking supplements for preventative purposes or as a support for pharmacological treatments, while also endeavoring to prevent harmful interactions with medications. Mednow Inc. (TSXV:MNOW)(OTCQB:MDNWF) believes this offering strongly compliments our mission of redefining the digital pharmacy’s role in holistic care.
The global dietary supplements market size was valued at US$151.9B in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9% from 2022 to 20301. We believe increasing consumer awareness toward personal health and wellbeing will be a key driving factor for dietary supplements over the forecasted period. The working population around the globe is struggling to fulfill their daily nutrient requirements owing to hectic work schedules and changing lifestyles1. Mednow Inc. (TSXV:MNOW)(OTCQB:MDNWF) plans to acquire patients through nutraceutical services who may not currently take prescription medication, or who would like to supplement prescription medication through nutraceuticals to support overall health.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) estimates that there are more than 29,000 different dietary supplements available to consumers, and an average of 1,000 new products are introduced annually2. 27% of Canadians have increased consumption of vitamins, minerals, and supplements since the pandemic3.
Winsome Dewar, Mednow Inc.’s (TSXV:MNOW)(OTCQB:MDNWF) Head Supplement Expert and Nutritionist states “we feel there is a real need for more expert guidance, something that typically costs hundreds of dollars or more, but is free through Mednow Inc.’s (TSXV:MNOW)(OTCQB:MDNWF) Total Health offering, and part of Mednow’s mission to improve access to healthcare and to do what’s right, not easy.” Dewar continues, “There appears to be a lot of supplement confusion out there. Due to COVID, people are taking even more supplements than ever but significant improvements in key areas like sleep, stress, immunity, and energy only occur when they’re of the highest quality to ensure absorption, and they’re taken correctly and consistently4. In our opinion, far too often consumer purchasing decisions are fueled by fads over facts, and people may be taking supplements that are expired, low quality, aren’t right for them and in some cases, may be harmful. Total Health aims to fix this problem,” she added.
As recently featured on CP24, when customers sign up for Total Health, they benefit from a tailored total vitamin and supplement plan, customized to their unique needs, goals and physiology, that is built by Mednow Inc.’s (TSXV:MNOW)(OTCQB:MDNWF) in-house seasoned nutritionist and supplement expert. In an effort to eliminate dosage mix-ups, customers also receive daily dose packs of supplements, packaged for them by day and time of dose, like its PillSmartTM prescription offering, and delivered free to their doors by Mednow Inc. (TSXV:MNOW)(OTCQB:MDNWF).
Total Health Offers a Personalized Supplement Program and Free Expert Consultation
Total Health customers undergo a holistic health assessment by a nutritionist, not an algorithm. To start the process, customers take the Total Health quiz by visiting https://mednow.ca/pages/supplements. A seasoned nutritionist with decades of supplement experience, carefully reviews the answers before following up with an in-depth customer consultation by email or telephone. Once the information is gathered, a personalized supplement plan is built, tailored to one’s goals such as general wellness, cardiovascular health, digestive health, energy, sleep, stress, mood, brain health, mental health, and memory, immunity, bones and joints and/or hair, skin, and nails.
Quality Supplements
With so many options on the market, it’s not always clear to consumers which supplements are high quality, nor which are a waste of money. Total Health by Mednow Inc. (TSXV:MNOW)(OTCQB:MDNWF) only offers Health Canada approved, third party tested supplements of high quality and formulation, from respected brands such as Genestra, Douglas Labs, Pure Encapsulations, NFH, and Designs for Health.
Ongoing Monitoring & Assessments
Changes or improvements to a Total Health customer’s health are carefully monitored by Dewar and her team, so supplements can be adjusted accordingly to address evolving needs.
Total Health further expands Mednow Inc.’s (TSXV:MNOW)(OTCQB:MDNWF) integrated healthcare services available through the pharmacy. For Total Health, this means a customer’s medications are carefully reviewed by a pharmacist to try to prevent negative interactions with supplements. This type of medication review is often overlooked; however, it is an important step considering most Canadians buy supplements off the shelf, over half of them take medication, and most take four different supplements5
