Let customers speak for us
from 924 reviews
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.

Thyroid Px is helping my thyroid be healthy. After a 3-day fast, I no longer needed my prescription thyroid medicine. But I do need the support from Thyroid px
I started taking gaba a couple years ago to help with anxiety and feeling like I couldn’t focus. I don’t know what I would do without it.
Hyland’s calm is a great natural product that really helps to take the edge off of your anxiety. Villagegreen apothecary has a great price on it and the shipped it fast.
Village Green Apothecary has been amazing as my compound pharmacy. I have pain cream, and two Rx that require compounding and Ben Y. has my back every time! I can email him or call, and he is right there every time. He calls to ensure clarity of my needs and is always cheerful and happy to be of service. I get small-town, attentive service in a city location - can't beat that! Thank you, Village Green, and Ben, for making complex medication needs easy and accessible!
Excellent products and very knowledgeable staff at Village green apothecary.
Soothing and pleasant taste
Online customers should consider making the pilgrimage to the apothecary in-person because staff knowledge over there is priceless.
