The Compounder is a licensed pharmacy, staffed by licensed professionals who work with you and your doctor - but we don't stock or sell all the prescription drugs you are likely to find at your local drug store.

We direct our attention to nutrition, exercise, hormone balance, and pain relief. We are not opposed to using drugs, but we are conce ed that too many people use too many drugs.

We are a family-owned business operating from Aurora, Illinois since 1983. Our website is a reference for health conscious people who are looking for answers that don't involve the unnecessary use of potentially harmful drugs.

Ask a doctor, "Should I take vitamin supplements?"Until recently the standard answer was, "If you eat a decent diet you don't need vitamins." And they were right. The better question is, "can you actually get a decent diet these days.

The media bombards us with advertisings, warnings and horror stories about health issues. It's easy to get confused.

There's a way to sort through all the screaming and shouting - just get an education in one of the basic health sciences (like pharmacy), add advanced training in business (like an MBA), and toss in a healthy dose of critical thinking (a degree in philosophy and ethics) along with a clear understanding of peoples' problems (an advanced degree in social work) and you'll find the path to better health easier to follow. It took many years but we got what we need to help us clear the litter from the health path. Pat and I are the pharmacists at The Compounder. We see where we have all been making mistakes by using too many drugs. We understand business, and we know how to "unpack" a story and evaluate the pieces. We have the skills and talent needed to make complex topics easy to understand.
