What Sets Us Apart
What Sets Us Apart
Just as our story is unique, so is how we do retail.
For nearly 50 years, we've been blessed with a loyal customer following. They return and new customers seek us out for three primary reasons: the specific types of brands and products we've chosen to carry, our unique approach to how you shop with us, and our wellness services.
Our Brands & Products
If you don't already know, there's a huge difference between the supplements sold at mass-market retail and the ones you'll find at specialty health food stores like ours. By mass-market retail, we mean everything from grocery stores and pharmacies to big-box stores, the general not-nutritional centers, social media and the popular "Amazonian" website. The primary difference is who's making your supplements and what's going into them.
Typically, retail vitamins are owned by companies that have nothing to do with our all-natural supplement industry. For example, of the top five best-selling vitamins nationwide, three are owned by Big Pharma, one by a food and beverage company and the last by a household cleaning goods company. Historically, mass retail products are what we call soulless consumables, often made with low-grade, ill-sourced raw materials and unnecessary additives, many of them chemical. None of which is transparently shown in third-party testing.
Here's how our brands are different and why they're worth your time.
Our brands are the godfathers and pioneers of the all-natural supplement industry. Most have been in business 30, 50, 70 years or more, and many have repeatedly turned down offers from large corporations, choosing to remain privately owned to protect the integrity of their formulas and ingredients. Rather than spending their money on advertising, they invest it back into the products you're taking. Their focus, priority and commitment are to educating, researching and producing the absolute cleanest, highest-grade, most efficacious products for you.
Shop With the Experts
Here's where shopping with a store of almost 50 yrs. really benefits your health and wallet.
We've taken tens of thousands of our customers' feedback, success stories, likes and dislikes, and thoughtfully curated a selection of products for you. So we're not going to offer you ten different forms of ashwagandha. We're going to offer you two or three that we know are tried, true and trusted, from heritage brands of integrity that are solely committed to this industry. Then comes what we call "shopping with the experts," a unique approach where you get to shop one-on-one with us. Education is king here, and we want everyone knowledgeable in the choices they're making, so we do everything from educating you on a topic to providing recommendations and suggestions. By narrowing down your options and educating you along the way, we take the guesswork out, so you can shop with confidence knowing you're getting the cleanest, most efficacious products available.
If you can't make it into the store, or simply like to do your research before you visit, we've worked diligently to bring that same experience online. Our product descriptions are written to give you what you'd hear from us in person. Some also include additional educational content, with more resources on the way. If you still have a question, don't hesitate to reach out. We're always accessible during business hours, or you can send us an email anytime.

Not every concern can be addressed in a quick conversation, and that's where our services work beautifully.
