Being quite new still to Melbourne its great to see importance placed on Vitamins in Melbourne. Vitamin Me provides really cheap vitamins and when i say 'really cheap', i mean beats Woolthworths and every other outlet i have ever seen. Stocking up on vitamins here can set you back no more than a few dollars. I can pick up my Iron supplements here for under $10 and my Multi-V for under $30 for three months worth! Vitamin Me also has a large range of protein bars for an after gym snack and powders for bulking up. Their price for a two litre tub is the same price as what i receive with my gym membership discount at my gym's store.

There is a great selection…read moreof fruit and vegetables in front and a couple of isles full of vitamins, supplements, milks, breads, oats, cereals and other groceries down back. There is a decent selection of meats and dairy as well. They stock informative books and magazines and even cater those with a sweet tooth with a great selection of chocolate. The prices are pretty good too if you start to compare with other organic retailers. Some of their prices are even the same as the mega chain supermarket just down the road. Situated on Smith St and servicing the healthy for the last 20 years, this family owned business is a pleasure to come and shop in. There is a very earthy feel with passive staff and smiles and positivity all around. If you can't make it down, they also have an online shop and even do home delivery.

Firstly, a confession…read more Although I occasionally brought organic produce, I had not signed on to the organic way of life. I thought it would be too expensive, boring, and not flexible enough for my student life. How wrong I was. I discovered Organic Wholefoods on Smith Street a couple of weeks before, and am now prepared to make weekly migrations to stock up on fruit and vegetables and a few other products as well. Organic Wholefoods boasts some beautiful regional produce (juicy oranges, enormous mushrooms and free range eggs) as well as an enormous range of cereals, flour, tea, nuts and more. I was particularly impressed with the wide range of tea and coffee, and had to get my hands on some of the Mount Zero Extra Virgin Olive Oil (under $20!). I was surprised to see that the produce was pretty reasonable (a couple of dollars here and there more than Coles of Safeway) but after buying and trying out the food I could definitely tell the difference. Although I may not have the budget to buy organic for everything, visiting and trying the produce stocked at Organic Wholefoods was an eye-opening and enjoyable decision.

They stock many ranges to the likes of GNC stores.

In all seriousness this establishment is the great place to buy multivitamins and other dietary natural supplements at an excellent price. It is better to go to a specialist natural supplement establishment such as this place without going to a supermarket for your vitamin hit to supplement your diet. The staff are friendly, the place is simple yet filled with positive energy. If you can make an effort to come here on the first Monday of every month where you receive a further 10% discount if the timing is right, then make it worth your while. There was a situation where I needed to buy probiotics immediately after taking antibiotics for a minor cold; I was impressed that the right probiotic product was picked with great results. A great establishment to also buy the common multivitamin as well as fish oil, and not to mention the protein bars for a great snack on the go.

The local supplement store has it in stock I. My favorite gourmet chocolate flavor *but* I can't justify what they want for it. The prices have been raised by Dymatize this year. Of course the store sells the same canister for $189. I got this from Supps R Us for $169.90 and free shipping. I also ordered a box of 12 of my newest fav Max's Super Shred Low Carb Cookie. 25 grams of protein a cookie holy cow. I have paid $6 each at the convenience store and a box of these by SRU are $54.90. That's $4.57 each. A $1.43 savings each or $17.16 savings for a box of 12! Yes please!! I was pleasantly surprised to get a tracking number the next day. Free standard shipping and it arrived 5 business days later which is good. Carefully packaged and no issues.
