Do You Have Trouble Swallowing Pills?
“My calcium supplement is too big to swallow. Can I open the capsule?” (Or crush it, or cut it in half?) These are common questions that we hear at the pharmacy. The first thing I ask people is to show me how they are taking their pills. If you are tilting your head back and trying to swallow your vitamins or medications, then you are actually making it harder for yourself because you are narrowing your throat. Take your pills...

Is Your Workout Working?
I’ve found that many people have the best of intentions when it comes to exercise, but it’s one of the easiest ideas that we dismiss.

5 Tips for a Greener Holiday Season

Great product and price
Great website, excellent products, fast shipping, competitive price points, great customer service and communication and I absolutely love the marine collagen I received. One of the best I’ve ever taken. I will definitely be ordering from you again! Thank you!
Natrum sulphuricum (30c)
Great decaf medium roast coffee. Wonderful
Everyone is knowledgeable and patient. Also, they have a variety of options and products.
Beef Gelatin Unflavored
Very effective when I combine it with slow release melatonin at night for sleep and stress. This was recommended to me by my functional medicine doctor. The allergy free type is good for people with food sensitivities.
Organic Bacopa really does help with my memory. I can tell the difference if I forget to take it!
This product works for me. Was hounded by my dr to start statins because she thought my numbers were dangerously high. I said absolutely not and added Cholesterice. Over this past year my ‘bad’ number is down 50 points and is staying down. Awesome product which really helped me.
Very glad I found Beberine to give me an assist with pre-diabetes and heart disease. Seems to be working really well.
40,000 volts
Red Yeast Rice
