CARA 100% Dermatological Cotton Gloves, Large
This supplement is part of a regimen I started about 6 months ago. It is working and my migraines have decreased by 75%
The tea works thanks to the Senna in it. Doesn’t taste bad either
I have been using GABA Max for about 6 years. It helps calm me in stressful days. It also helps me sleep on nights when I wake up and can’t go back to sleep. I always want to keep this in my cabinet for such occasions
I have been coming to this store before it was Village Green. It’s always been an amazing experience. I recommend it to everyone I know.
They are So helpful with any health question you have. I have seen a major difference in my health and overall inflammation in my body from the herbs they have recommended.
Great product! I use it on my face as a night moisturizer when it's cold outside. It absorbs really well and provides a nice understated glow. I strongly suggest using a small scoop to get it out of the tin, so you don't contaminate it. A little goes a long way. Also, I have a super sensitive skin that breaks out from everything and I don't break out from this. Will definitely buy again.
I have been coming here for years. They have always taken care of me each time with patience. A staple in the community and my life. Thank you.
You can find almost any kind of supplement here. And Brian is an absolute treasure; he's super-knowledgeable, and his suggestions and guidance have been extremely valuable!
Samento, Immune/Microbial Support
Started taking after neck fusion surgery to relieve pressure on nerves. Recovery had stalled and function was reduced in my right arm due to nerve damage. After starting Lion's Mane at Village Green's suggestion began to regain function with continued improvement over the next months. Also reduced frequency and severity of nerve 'blasts' in my leg from unrelated issue -- believe me, I take it every day!
My favorite bitters - will purchase again!
The Village Green Apothecary is the only place I go for prescription refills and supplements. They have experts available who answer your questions and take their time to help you find exactly what you need to support your overall wellbeing. Highly highly recommend checking them out.
It does what it is supposed to.
Can't say that about other products I have tried.
I've bought a lot of supplements from this store for probably decades. While recommended by my doctor originally, I continue to use them. While they are very busy, they are pleasant and very helpful. For someone who had lots of allergies to different ingredients, they had products I could tolerate. I used to shop only in person but now that I don't frequent their area, I use their mail order. Love them.
