We carry many varieties of EFA's including fish oils, evening primrose oil, borage oil, flax oil, hemp oil and Udo's Oil (which is a blended oil). Come in and ask for a tour!

Aromatherapy & Massage

This is such a personal category. Some people love Lavender, some do not. No worries as we have so many essential oils that everyone will be happy! Karooch is our main essential oil brand with a few from NOW and Aura Cacia.

What do you need with essential oils? A diffuser of course! In your car or home, polished wood or a modern sheen, we've got'em. Need a carrier to put those essential oils in? We've got that too! Grapeseed oil, jojoba oil, rosehip oil? Yep. Got those. Weleda makes a line of massage oils that are beautiful blends of rich scents and luxurious oils.

Come "nose around" a bit (from testers please!) and you'll be hooked!

Proteins & Superfoods

Protein is so important to a balanced diet and it can help keep you on the go! We carry several lines of protein powders including hemp, rice, soy, pea, whey and the Vega line which is a mix of hemp, pea and rice. We even have raw protein from Garden of Life. Great in smoothies and in baking to add a little more protein punch. 

If you want a snack in bar form we've got those too! Some chocolate coated (like Vega Sport) and some not. 

If you're looking for other healthy additions to your smoothie, juice or meals, we also have chlorophyll, spirulina, goji berries, mulberries, pomegranate powder and more. Then there's the several different varieties of macas including the yellow and black, good for women's hormonal issues and men's vitality.

So come in and see how we can add some super to your foods!

Kids' Remedies

Children have different requirements from adults so many companies make children's formulas. We carry several lines from multivitamins to DHA and calcium to echinacea. Most are sugar-free, preservative-free, gluten-free, have no artificial colours or flavours, no artificial sweeteners and more (or is that less?). Come see what we have for your little ones and check for samples (very helpful)!
