This is my go to store for my multi-vitamins and protein powder. It's the only store locally that I…read moreknow of that carries my TwinLab vitamins. The price is reasonable. I get either the house brand protein powder or Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey. Both go on sale twice a year for buy one, get one half off. Other times you can save 20% off. So I rarely pay full retail. I always go into the store, but you can buy online. If you auto ship, you save 10%. Because of Covid, they also have have contact free curbside pickup. The stores website is easy to use and up to date on the available inventory. The associates are very friendly and helpful. They seem quite knowledgeable. The store is well organized and stocked. It appears to have something for everyone. There's more than enough parking, and they're accessible from Mansion Blvd. or Balltown Rd. I went into GNC once, but they don't carry the brands I use. I recommend you try Vitamin Shoppe for your needs.

New business in the regrettable "Mansion Square" development that just opened in 3/12 at the…read moreintersection of Balltown Rd. and State, across from Mohawk Commons, this is a standard-issue Vitamin Shoppe, with a large array of supplements and vitamins ranging from the essential to borderline patent-medicine quackery. The prices for the few things we've purchased here aren't overly competitive but it's convenient for children's supplements, this being the only place in the area we've been able to find competing brands of child-specific formulations prescribed by our pediatrician. The staff were helpful and relatively knowledgeable about stock, but this is yet another franchise desperate to get you on their mailing list via discount cards and coupons, and I continue to resent having to go through the routine of declining this on every visit. My general advice when visiting such a place, to avoid being up-sold or purchasing something you're not really clear about, is to research what you want BEFORE going in so you're making your selection based on your own needs and what science you can bring to muster on the topic, and not the bag of retail store tricks (to which we are all vulnerable no matter how well-informed).

I eat mostly vegan. I say mostly because I'm not perfect and have occasionally eaten something that…read moreI didn't realize had dairy in it. I had a hard time finding certain things that I like to have on hand such as vegan marshmallows. I do not want to eat regular marshmallows since they contain gelatin which is made from animal hides, boiled crushed bones, and the connective tissues of cows and pigs. I find this process absolutely repulsive and stopped eating gelatin long before I chose a vegan lifestyle. When I began my search for better options, I stumbled upon this unique spot in Clifton Park. Green grocer always has Dandies marshmallows and also Enjoy Life vegan rice milk chocolate bars. I get these to make s'mores. I can always count on this great store to have many wonderful specialty options for people with special dietary needs and for people choosing to eat different diets or are concerned with the ethics of the factory farming industry. They do have meat and dairy options from carefully selected farms. I don't know a lot about it since I don't eat it but I would imagine these are better options than conventional grocery store meat. I'd encourage anyone to check out this great store. It's not far from exit 8A in Clifton park, south of Walmart in the same plaza as Nonna Maria's. It is wonderful to support local small business while also discovering things that you won't find at conventional grocery stores.

Wow. I'm downright shocked to be the first to write a review of this place. Talk about underrated…read more This is hands down the best pharmacy I've ever known. Last week I had a Lyme's scare and the Dr scripted me with Doxycycline but the Pharmacist at Woodstock Apothecary knew it would cost me hundreds without insurance, so she called up the Dr and had him change the script to a MUCH less expensive generic brand. I paid $20. Don't even get me started on Liz. Ok, I'll start. Liz Malgieri, their Natural Products Director, is unparalleled in her knowledge of supplements and vitamins and has a zero tolerance policy for products that don't maintain the absolute highest standards from everything the potency of the product to the cleanliness of the manufacturer's facilities. Everyone remembers your name and is so friendly. I always walk out having learned something new and feeling 100% secured in my purchases. I love this place so much. I'll be sad when I move somewhere too far away from them since I'm fairly certain no other pharmacy in the world is as ACE as these guys! -Johnny M

You can get any prescription or service you need and not have to go through feeling like a number at one of the pharmacy chains, and, the "icing on the cake," every holistic remedy, as well as healthy and delicious treats, including, but not limited to the best local honeycombs, local handmade crafts, and holistic care and diagnostics from the best of the best. The value for your money is also off the charts. We are so blessed to have the Village Apothecary and it is our families Apothecary/healthcare stop of choice -- hands-down (and hands up)! How often do you hear from someone "I can't wait to go to the pharmacy/Apothecary, it's always a pleasant and educational and joyous visit"? Well, very often here.
