There are a few of these shops lurking around Cardiff. Not as extensive a selection as some other health food shops, they are more abundant and in any area of Cardiff you won't have to go far to find one. The one on Albany Road is my local one, and I am definitely a regular! As some of the other reviews mention, there is a large amount of body building whey protein and the likes, but then, there is a gym just across the road. But they also have a bit of everything else. Toiletries, make up, cleaning products, chilled foods, dried and tinned foods etc. are all present and correct. Not always exactly what you want, but they are happy to order things in if you ask. They also have a wide range of herbal remedies, tinctures, homeopathic preparations etc. and if you ever have a problem, the staff are always happy to help. They have all the documentation and training on hand for any queries, and have a 'guru' on the phone for less common queries. And, they do a student discount - everyday! Just show them your card. Small, but perfectly formed! read more

I recently wrote the following, completely forgetting about this outlet of Health With Herbs! "As far as I'm aware, there are two Health With Herbs outlets in Cardiff, this one on Cowbridge Road East, and another in The Royal Arcade in the centre of town, (off St Mary Street, and The Hayes)" Oopse! I was reviewing the shop on Cowbridge Road East and continued by saying: "It's reassuring to know that they have opted to set up shop on a road that seems to be flooded with cholesterol and big fat meals comprised of empty calories, and a lot of them! Health With Herbs gives me hope that the people of Canton will live to see their fortieth birthdays!" It's pertinent to quote myself here as Health With Herbs have seemingly achieved the same objective on Albany Road as they have on Cowbridge Road East. They are smack bang in the middle of take-away central, flanked on either side by a plethora of fast food joints that extends well beyond this street and well into the next, (City Road). I continued... "I love this place. It's a no-nonsense health shop, that doesn't circum to all the gimmicks that more 'upmarket' shops trade on in order to optimise profits. I come here for things like Agnus Castus, and therapeutic doses of Vit C when I'm fighting infection. It's a really well stocked shop, with eminently affordable prices. It's brilliant!" One thing I will say that is not in its favour however, Is that it stocks all of the body-bulking body-builder type bunkum that I personally don't agree with. If you feel the same way, you can always simply ignore it... just like I do! read more

Health with Herbs is a mixture between a health food stockist and a "Holland & Barrett". They have more organic fresh food such as packets of dried fruit and nuts, but also maintain a great deal of processed foods such as "power" bars and whey protein formulas. It's in all our interests to live longer and healthier but we don't generally keep a balanced diet. In my case I eat what I like, surprisingly what I like is fruit, vegetables the only thing I really get from these places are the multi vitamins. I would look at the protein supplement if I was training for a marathon but it's easy to over do it, and generally the idea is you are already eating a good protein meal, the protein is in a form that can be made into a milk shake which is handy. I enjoy organic produce because the less chemicals that are on the food I eat the better, I recommend you check the shop out. read more

Great Organic store that sell at very good prices. I have become a regular as I believe optimum health is the key to a happy life. I highly recommend this store - as it is run for the people and helping the local community! Certainly better than shopping at the big supermarkets read more

Like the branch of health with Herbs on Cowbridge Road East, this one also stocks a lot of those dodgy-looking oversized tubs of body-building protein mix powders, which just seem out of place in a shop based on the notion of 'Health With Herbs'. Despite that, however, this Albany Road branch has friendly and helpful staff, and plenty of far more natural products besides the bodybuilding stuff. They will give you some suggestions about specific ailments if you need advice, such as allergies, eczema, indigestion or insomnia, plus detoxification teas and other products. Apart from specific pills, lotions and remedies for health problems, they also sell a good range of caffeine-free coffees and teas, some refrigerated food produce, and health foods such as dried fruits, nuts, rice cakes and so on. As with all the Health With Herbs shops, the prices aren't too steep considering it's a health food shop - perhaps on a par with Holland and Barrett. read more
