What are biologics?

From the team of Queenie & Brent

Biological drugs (biologics) are drugs created from a living organism or its products, and can be composed of sugars, proteins or nucleic acid,  complex combinations of these substances or  living entities such as cells and tissues(1). Biologics are extremely costly because they are difficult  to create and once developed, they cannot be massed produced. Biologics are one of those medical creations that have changed the lives of many  and are a great example of what can be accomplished with advances in technology and increased scientific knowledge.

The Gift of Physical Activity

TRG December Health Point is now available for viewing:


According to Statistics Canada, Canadians are busy. We work an average of 7 hours and 46 minutes a day. We devote three hours and 11 minutes to housework and childcare and spend eight hours and 17 minutes sleeping. This doesn’t include commuting or the frantic hours spent leading up to the holidays shopping, baking, wrapping, entertaining, and the list goes on. There’s not much time left for the recommended 30 minutes of daily exercise.
