Green Kitchens
I enjoy helping my homeowner clients tackle the task of organizing their green kitchen. Whether you’re remodeling or simply reorganizing, here are some tips to get you on a path to a greener kitchen--the heart of your home. Appliances. This is my special passion. Replace dishwashers that are more than 6 years old and refrigerators that are more than 10 with a miserly new Energy Star model. The savings in water use and energy can pay for the new appliances...

Drug Interactions and Nutrient Depletions: Important information for your health
Americans are taking more prescription medications than ever before. As a result, people are experiencing more drug interactions. Adverse drug reactions can range from being mild to causing major injury or even death. Beyond interactions, medications can also deplete the body of vital nutrients, resulting in serious health concerns. Combining pharmaceuticals with over-the-counter (OTC)...

Smart Car Arrives at Village Green!
On our quest to become more “green,” Village Green has done a number of things to reduce our carbon footprint. Some of these include recycling supplement bottles, using real mugs to eliminate our paper coffee cup addiction, and a few years ago we even became the first pharmacy in the United States to go wind...

Don’t forget about CoQ10 with your Statin
If you're taking a statin (Lipitor, Zocor, Pravachol, Mevacor, Crestor, etc) to lower your cholesterol or prevent cardiovascular problems, you should seriously consider taking a CoQ10 supplement. You have probably heard about the dangers of high cholesterol, particularly LDL (“bad cholesterol”). Statins work by blocking an enzyme in the liver responsible for creating cholesterol. In...

Food, Inc.: Put this film at the top of your “must see” list this summer
Judging by the turnout for the recent opening of the brand-new food documentary, Food, Inc. (it topped the per-theater average of all the movies at the box office on its opening weekend), Americans care about food. We want to know how our food is produced, who or what is harmed in the process, and whether...

Lower Lipids Naturally
So often I am asked if cholesterol or triglycerides can be lowered without prescription medication. The answer is yes. First, know what your low-density cholesterol (LDL, “bad cholesterol”) is and what it should be. If it is greater than 130, it is probably too high. If it is over 100 and you have one...

Green Sunscreen, Safe Sunscreen
During many years working in fragile tropical ecosystems, I have wrestled with the knotty dilemma of selecting sunscreen. One in five Americans will have a brush with skin cancer: a million cases are diagnosed each year. How do we protect ourselves and our children from UVA & UVB rays while not leaving behind a damaging...

Genetically Modified Foods: Why Doctors Advise Getting Them Out of Your Diet
Americans have been eating genetically modified (GM or GMO) foods for over 10 years, mainly in the form of corn, soy, canola, and cottonseed oil.

Best Organic Shampoo
Last time I reviewed the chemicals you don’t want in a shampoo. What ingredients do you want for safe and effective results, and which brands are best? The best ingredients are “certified organic,” next best are ‘organic.” Most top-performing organic shampoos provide a combination of ingredients that cleanse and moisturize. If you have dry hair,...

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!
Have used for several y
