Let customers speak for us
from 1056 reviewsExpert Advise & Fantastic Choices
I've been coming to the Apothecary for years for supplements that I read about and seek their advice on efficacy and best form of ingestion to get the True Value of some of the nutrients and minerals we may be lacking. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable and explain the differences between Brands and formulations of supplements that, to an uninformed person, would look to be identical. I count on their advice and appreciate their expertise.
Super Soap
Trying It For the First Time It Work's Great So I Gave Some To My Neighbor And She Loves It So I Told Her Where She Can Buy It. I Ordered Another Bottle Of The Peppermint But You Don't Have It In Stock. LOVE IT.

Fulfilling biochemical nutrition contributes toward complex health and performance with eating right mostly per China Study.
Excellent Service All-Around
I had a wonderful experience at Village Green Apothecary. Their staff is top notch in regards to both fund of knowledge and customer care. Gail, the owner, was extremely pleasant taking time to have a one on one conversation with me. Brian also showed himself to be extremely well read, passionate, and driven in this field. You won’t regret coming here for your health needs.

Organic Chamomile with Lavender
Magsoothium
I've been using essential oil balms for aches and pains, and they definitely help but their smell is rather strong. Magsoothium cream, by contrast, has a mild, pleasant flowery smell. I use it when I go out and do find it effective for moderate pain. I also use it at bedtime on my calves, as the magnesium helps with leg cramps which often wake me up - and it might be helping me to sleep better as well! I first ordered the small size to test it out, but took advantage of a recent sale and ordered two of the large size.
Great Service
I appreciate how Village Green supplies the order quickly and efficiently!
One stop shopping

Village Green Apothecary is the best!!!
I have been ordering from Village Green Apothecary for years and can’t say enough about the staff’s expertise and all they have available for customers in guidance and support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Louis & Tatiana for their guidance, help & support for years. I am forever grateful! I also want to thank Brian, Kirsten, Kayla & the pharmacist for all their help. Another positive about Village Green is their rewards program, supplement sales which are often and especially their phenomenal semi-annual store wide sales. I have recommended Village Green Apothecary to all those I know!
