But they must get some customers as they have been open for more than 20 years now! The staff are very friendly and will happily chat with you. They sell a good variety of products from run of the mill vitamins to rarer harder to find supplements and aromatherapy products and homeopathic medicines. Additionally they also have a nice little range of veggie foods too which is an added bonus especially as the food isnt the typical veggie foods you normally expect to find.

Appleseeds is a good all round health food store…read more It caters for people with food intolerances such as gluten free and lactose free diets. In addition they sell naturally based remedies and food suppliments. I love the real peanut butter from here, and the bread is good. I would recommend coming to the very bottom of Market Street, where you will find not just these goodies, but friendly and helpful staff.

Apart from the slightly dear prices that you may come across in Julian Graves, there is something…read morethat sets it apart from what may be considered rival stores such as Holland & Barrett and Health Rack. At Julian Graves, they focus more on health foods rather than supplements although they do offer some common ones on their shelves. For me, I was more interested in their huge selection of nuts and seeds which were awesome, not to mention the amount of cereal bars too. And the classic Liquorice Allsorts (quite an odd addition)! This shop is ideal for the health conscious as it rarely doesn't get more enticing. Another thing you can guarantee is that there is plenty of choice and always charming staff to assist you.

Holland and Barrett is a great little shop for the health conscious or the occasionally health…read moreconscious. They sell a myriad of supplements, from multi vitamins and herbal remedies, to dried fruit and nuts, healthy drinks and bulking protein supplements for gym lovers! Although this shop is a little pricey and you can probably find a lot of their shop cheaper online, it is very conveniently located in the centre of town, and sometimes has some great 2 for 1 offers on all supplements and multivitamins. They are very helpful inside the shop and they know their products inside out. I would fully recommend this shop for all the alternative remedies that they sell and for the expert advice that they offer to all their customers! It's definitely worth popping in just to get some multivitamins and Echinacea to ward off the colds and flu that float around the city!

However, for those of you who do, this is the place to buy them. The reason I might go here, is to buy cereal bars as I much prefer these over full fat chocolate bars which I find too sweet.

There is much more variety of healthy options than you can find in your local supermarket at prices which sometimes be a little pricey but you can't really argue for a shop of this speciality and with staff who are always willing to help you.

There's always great offers on the fruit, Tuesday I bought a big strawberries for £1 and they were just divine! Great place, but it's a long way to walk back to the train station (or the car park) with heavy purchases.. I don't think home delivery is available.
