Kent MacLeod was only twenty-three years old when he bought a bankrupt dispensary and turned it into today's thriving compounding pharmacy in Ottawa's west end.

For those looking for cheap toilet tissue or chemical-laden lipstick, you wont find it here. NutriChem is truly focused on health.

Kent made a conscious decision to eliminate soft drinks, candy bars and junk food from the aisles of the store and instead stock it with natural health products and foods that support well-being.

"What we do here is very different than other pharmacies," says Kent. "We only sell products that help and heal people." These products include professional brand vitamin and herbal supplements, a NutriChem line of premium quality vitamins, homeopathic products, a selection of gluten-free foods, award-winning olive oils and natural cosmetics.

In addition to meeting the needs of the local community, the same vitamins and supplements that are available in our retail store can be shipped world-wide through an online store.

Our dispensary has a wide range of pharmaceuticals available and with our on-site laboratory, we are able to meet the unique needs of our clients through customized medication, bio-identical hormones and custom vitamins.
