I have been a long time customer, going back to when it was The Apothecary. The store has always had a wide selection of high quality supplements. Brian, who is the manager, always waits on me and is highly knowledgeable of all the ingredients and how they help the body. If he doesn't know something he doesn't make it up on the fly but takes the time to look it up so the customer gets the right information. He saves me countless time by finding everything on my long list of supplements every time I come in. You don't get service like this anymore. Even though I fight the traffic coming in from Virginia, it is well worth the drive.
I’ve used this floss forever. It is effective and earth friendly.
I just received my order of Adreset in time to travel for the holidays. Thanks for the fast delivery!

GABA MAX is great. I’ve been using it as needed for over 12 years for moderate anxiety or to relax in the evening after a busy day. It’s way better than alcohol for me!
TheraZinc is perfect for my needs. It is a zinc spray I can use for sore throat as well as for strengthening my immune system.
I can't tolerate products containing sugar & TheraZinc is the only such product that is sugar free.
I like the small travel size too!
Been using it for years. My stand-by gut magic.
Very useful
I take Nutrafol supplement and I'm satisfied.
The only thing that has helped my husband with his allergies in AZ and we have trained MANY tinctures, supplements, etc.
