From the Impossible Whopper at Burger King to the Beyond Sausage breakfast sandwich at Dunkin', plant-based foods are becoming way more accessible than they used to be, and many of us are more than willing to try it out.

         The weather is warmer, the days are starting to get longer, and we are feeling good about ourselves. But why is that? Springtime is the time of rebirth and to start new and for many customers at Wellspring Custom Pharmacy, it is a time to feel better. One of the main reasons our moods lift when the seasons change from cold to warm is because we are getting more light and absorbing a larger amount of vitamin D. Vitamin D has many functions in the body, and this includes maintaining good bone, brain, and heart health. Low Vitamin D levels have been proven to be linked to depression, and this can include seasonal depression.
