How Village Green Apothecary Can Help You

Prescription interactions are the fourth leading cause of emergency visits...

from 676 reviewsVITAL FLORA 60/60 SS WOMEN'S 55+
I’ve been using it for a month and have had no negative results. Had to find such a big dose so am glad I found it. Called to ship earlier and they did so seem a responsible co. Satisfied with both.
Very satisfied
It tastes good, not horrible which would make it very hard to swallow.
Love to do business with you. Thank you very much!
I have ben using Aenica all my live I am 72 years old. My mother worked in a durg store. I called Arnica the merical med. I fand Village Green and i can buy Arnica any time i need it. It was hard fining a Good ARNICA and Herb Pharm is a good brand.
Definitely helps me. I have used it for years and will order again.
All purpose supplements that supports so many health issues.
I've been using Traumeel for six years, since my rheumatologist recommended it as a homeopathic ointment to help ease pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. I use it daily, so am pleased that it's now available over the counter, and my experience ordering it from Village Green went off without a hitch.
very good effect
I take this daily to keep my zinc stores up. I trust Pure Encapsulations products because they are clean and free of allergens.
the ordering of the Chlorofresh Unflavored was easy and delivered within the specified time makes me know for the future I can repeat the process.
Triflora works for me. Great stuff!
I can only use low doses of EPO and the 500 mg is hard to find. I'm so glad you carry it. It does the job for me. Thanks.
I think it’s the best fish oil on the market today.
