Village Vitamin Store

Village Vitamin Store, a Canadian vitamin and supplement retailer

Village Vitamin Store is a Canadian retailer specialising in vitamins, supplements and natural health products. Its catalogue is organised around health concerns and product families rather than a single line, and the store presents itself as Canadian since 1950. Orders are shipped within Canada and the United States, with prices shown in Canadian dollars for the Canadian storefront and in US dollars for the American one.

A catalogue built around health concerns

The range covers vitamins and minerals, supplements, sports nutrition, homeopathic products, natural skin care, health foods and organic drinks. Beyond single-ingredient products, the store groups items by the concern they address, which makes it possible to browse by need rather than by brand.

• Vitamins: multivitamins, gummies and individual vitamins A, B, C, D, E and K.
• Minerals: magnesium in several forms (bisglycinate, glycinate, citrate, threonate), zinc, iron, calcium, selenium, potassium, chromium, manganese, iodine and sea moss.
• Supplements by concern: blood sugar, bone health, cholesterol management, memory and focus, digestive wellness, eye health, heart health, hormonal balance, immune support, joint health, liver care, pain and inflammation, prenatal, prostate, sleep, stress and anxiety, thyroid and urinary wellness.
• Specialised lines: amino acids (L-arginine, L-glutamine, L-lysine, L-theanine, L-glycine), mushroom extracts (lion's mane, reishi, chaga, turkey tail, cordyceps), omega fatty acids (fish oil, krill oil) and greens (chlorophyll, spirulina).
• Herbal supplements: ashwagandha, elderberry, berberine, oregano, shilajit, maca, milk thistle, turmeric, echinacea, ginseng, rhodiola, valerian, black cohosh, vitex, saw palmetto, ginkgo biloba and others.

Sports nutrition and weight management

A dedicated sports section brings together protein, athletic enhancers, weight loss products, hydration and amino acids, including BCAA and creatine, alongside an energy and vitality category. Weight management appears both as a sports line and as a health concern in its own right.

Beauty, personal care and home products

The personal care side includes bath and body items such as soap and body wash, deodorant, moisturiser and sunscreen; skin care with cleansers, toners, serums, masks and moisturisers; lip balms; makeup for face, eyes and lips; hair care with shampoo, conditioner and hair colour; oral care; feminine care; baby care; and beauty oils. The store also lists home and lifestyle goods: aromatherapy diffusers, essential oils, water filters, and socks, gloves, braces and supports. A pet care section covers pet supplies and pet supplements.
