Let customers speak for us
from 1085 reviewsEveryone 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
Vitamin D 2000 IU
Lauricidin Original Monolaurin 8oz Jar
Swiss Kriss bulk is a lovely facial steam
My husband has been taken this as directed now for 4 weeks. It has helped him to cut down on his munching and grazing in the pantry at night. He loves that he has cut down on portion size and has lost 7 lbs so far. Very good product for him. Gave him the ability to do what he was already trying to do - cut back on food intake. This just made it easyier for him. Thx
