Chemicals in Baby Shampoos
Why are companies still making baby products with harmful chemicals, when they can make them without them? Johnson & Johnson’s baby shampoo sold here in the U.S. and a few other countries contains dioxane and a substance called quaternium-15 that releases formaldehyde. The sneaky thing is that they already make this shampoo without those two ingredients and sell it to countries where the chemicals are banned, according to an international coalition of health and environmental groups. The Campaign for Safe...

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
I like the taste not too sweet it is just right.
This is the only thing OTC that actually puts me to sleep! Please don't ever stop making it or carrying it!
