Fat Versus Muscle
Take a look at this video by Village Green blogger, Debi Silber the Mojo Coach. She talks about the differences of fat and muscle and the roles they play in weight loss. As a woman, I love that she encourages being strong instead of just losing weight. Did you know that one pound of fat looked like that? I think I am ready for some weight training! ...

We hear this question a lot, and most of us would like to hand over a magic pill that would shed those extra pounds, but this pill doesn't exist, although certain infomercials would have you believe otherwise. Diet,...

READ MOREPeriodization - What Is It?
When prescribing repetitions and sets, the strategy of periodization is a must. Periodization is the planned variation in training volume and intensity (Fleck and Kraemer, 2004). It is very common with the general population to place an emphasis on a high number of repetitions to "feel the burn," and there is a popular myth that...

READ MOREStay Away From Knee Extensions
The quadriceps (as well as the glutes) will develop most from full depth in squatting and lunging movements, as they are responsible for knee extension. Do not worry about isolating the quadriceps; they are the biggest muscle group in the body followed by the glutes at number two, and they will develop very easily from...

READ MOREThe Kick-Start, Ab-Chiseling Warm-Up
A more effective warm-up than static stretching can consist of the elliptical, bike, stairmaster, jump rope, etc. Static stretching (when you stretch a muscle and hold it for 10-15 seconds) should not be performed previous to training, as research has shown that static stretching before training does not aid in preventing injury and it also...

READ MORELet customers speak for us
from 590 reviewsThis probiotic helps keep my gut bacteria in check and my immune system in good condition.
Great service.
Just started taking this mag glycinate. Hoping it will help with sleep issues.
Highly recommended by my acupuncturist! It is a powerhouse!
I started useing this at first sign of tingling like others have mentioned and I reapply every two hours throughout the day . Its strong stuff just a thin layer needed. I'm on day 3 of use and my cold sore is 1/3 the size it normally gets . And no pain or irritation . I feel like it's starting to heal up already . Recommended to keep useing it even past the time you think it's going away. I really like this but have to eat tic tacos cause leaves strong taste in mouth . It's totally worth it !!!
I stated taking Nattokinase as part of a precautionary Spike protein detox. Since this is a preventative for me, not a corrective hard to tell if it’s working. But, it’s also supposed to help with Cardiovascular function.
it's very helpful to treat my allergies and sinus indeed. Works well!!! Thank you!!
Magnesium (citrate)
Gets rid of my cough quickly. Arrived promptly. I recommend.
I appreciate the very prompt and helpful service
I live in the desert. My sinus’s are always dry and in the spring I am bothered by allergies when certain plants start blooming. I prefer not to take allergy meds since they make me tired so I rely on this and herbal nasal spray to get me through.
I have used Newton's Menopause drops for years and have never had to take hormones. They are getting hard to find. I googled them and found them at Village Green Apothecary. I had never heard of Village Green and was a little leary of ordering from them, but I did anyway. They sent my order in a timely fashion with no problems.
good
When I was having reactions to everything, I tried MANY probiotics but reacted to all of them, finally I found this one, a low histamine probiotic...and it worked. Thank you :)
Makes us feel mentally more alert!rain
