While going to your local health food store is nice, shopping online for your supplements gives an advantage. You gain access to more brands, quality and competitive pricing on supplements that you don’t always get at a small vitamin store. It's also convenient that you can order anytime, anywhere from the comfort of your own home. Shopping online can save time and money, and with National Nutrition's educational resources and knowledgeable staff, you can learn more about your health in the process.

The Traditional Health Food Store Experience

The natural health movement of the '60s brought about numerous mom-and-pop health food stores that carved out a nice little niche for health and wellness seekers and anyone looking for a place they could shop for supplements outside the big box chains. Traditional health food stores were not only a welcome respite from commercial grocery stores, but they were also a place that brought you back to simpler times where you could drop in to discuss your health goals or concerns and to get advice and product recommendations.

What Are The 7 Advantages To Shopping Online For Your Supplements?

While traditional stores still have their place, with an increasingly fast-paced society and busy lifestyles, online shopping has definitely made its mark. Not only has how we shop evolved, but the health & wellness movement has also steadily continued to gain momentum, making online health food shopping a game changer. Bringing health & wellness stores to the digital space allows consumers to shop when and where it’s convenient for them and get their health needs met right at their doorstep. This is advantageous not only for those that lead a busy lifestyle but for those that have difficulties getting out as well.

1. Qualified and Certified Staff: Registered Holistic Nutritionists, Naturopaths, and More

While one may think that traditional brick-and-mortar shops are still a better option for attentive, one-on-one service, case-specific advice, and in-depth information on products, the truth of the matter is that larger e-commerce vitamin and supplement retailers offer the same level of service, with additional conveniences. National Nutrition, for one, employs a diverse staff made up of certified Registered Holistic Practitioners, NDs, and Nutritionists, so you can always count on up-to-date expert advice whether you shop in-store or online.

2. Customer Education: Health & Supplement Articles, Recipes, and Product Videos

In addition to our friendly and knowledgeable staff, who are only a call or click away, National Nutrition also offers an extensive online repertoire including over 500 supplement articles, over 300 health condition articles, and more than 200 healthy recipes. You’re also welcome to peruse over 700 health videos on our YouTube channel, created specifically for National Nutrition’s customers by leading health experts. Whether you choose to make your shortlist online and then visit us in-store, or if you prefer the ease and convenience of a strictly online transaction, you can find everything you need on our website to make an informed product decision.

3. Extensive and Informative Product Pages

Our educational platform aside, National Nutrition offers detailed product pages prepared by health professionals to help further inform and guide your decision-making process. We’ve made it easy for you to compare products by price, reviews, manufacturer information, and features for all our product categories. This is a great added value that saves you time and money because it lets you whittle down your choices quickly and easily, from the comfort of your own home.

4. Convenient and Versatile Customer Support: Phone, Chat, or Email

E-commerce has dominated and continues to grow as consumers’ preferences and comfort levels shift to the digital era. When you factor in the various perks of online shopping, it’s no surprise that consumers have increasingly used online venues instead of retail locations. At National Nutrition, we understand this, which is why we’ve made our customer resource center so accessible and knowledgeable. Our site allows you to ask questions, request product information, or place an order by phone, chat, or email. This can be done live during our operational hours, or on your time, and our staff will get back to you the following business day.

5. Wide Selection & Great Value

One of the great advantages of shopping for your vitamins and supplements online is that you get access to a much wider selection than most brick-and-mortar stores can provide because of a lack of warehouse space. Of course, price is also one of the strongest factors influencing purchase decisions – in fact, when shopping online, 70% of consumers report looking for deals and discounts. We understand this, which is why National Nutrition offers one of the largest selections of vitamins and supplements from accessible consumer brands to clinical-dose practitioner brands, as well as offering bonuses, BOGO’s and sales every month.

6. Return Policy – 6 Months Worry-Free Returns

You may be hesitant to purchase your vitamins and supplements from an online retailer. What happens if you aren’t happy with a purchase for whatever reason? Are you stuck with it? At National Nutrition, the answer is no. Sometimes supplements just aren’t a perfect fit, or simply aren’t satisfactory, which is why we have a 6-month hassle-free return policy for both in-store and online purchases. We even provide you with a prepaid return label to make it worry-free and hassle-free.

7. Fast, Reliable Shipping That's Often Free

Consumers appreciate shopping online because of how simple it is; you make your product selection, place your order, confirm payment, and have your shipping status quickly. Of course, customers also want their products as quickly as possible, which is why National Nutrition offers FAST and RELIABLE shipping that’s FREE*. *National Nutrition offers free shipping anywhere in Canada on orders over $79, and over $149 for US addresses.

Prefer Shopping in a Retail Outlet? No worries. We've got you covered.

However, if you're someone who still appreciates getting out and enjoys in-store shopping or wants your supplements same day, you can come visit us at our retail location at, 5 Progress Drive, Orillia, Ontario or 81 King Street, Barrie, Ontario, where you’ll find the same wide selection of quality vitamins and supplements, friendly, knowledgeable staff, unbeatable prices and the option of curbside pick up.
