Yes! I need help conquering the chaos!
Even though there’s a nip in the air still (here in the Northeast at least), pollen is starting to fly. With it comes stuffy noses, sneezing, runny eyes, and all sorts of other things opposite to the beauty of the season. We have a unique perspective on allergy support here at Woodstock Vitamins. I’m a pharmacist. In pharmacy …
Spring is here and the weather just may start cooperating soon. That means we can finally get rid of this cabin fever and start exploring the great outdoors. It also means all the little buggers of the world will have the same idea. They’ll be showing us, rather efficiently, why they are called pests. Now …
My name’s Neal. I’m a pharmacist. I was trained in traditional medicine. I know medications are necessary and can be helpful. I also know that we traditional medical practitioners, as a community, need a change of focus. We should resolve to prevent disease instead of merely treating problems as they arise.

There are quality brands out there, and there are supplements that will help you live a happier and …
Everyone in the health and wellness space talks about heart disease this month, so we wanted to weigh in on the discussion a bit. Many people look to Heart Healthy Supplements to prevent having to use drugs. In fact, I don’t think there’s another group of supplements used as frequently for this same reason. Doctors are wary …
Not so long ago, in pharmacies nationwide… Hundreds of times a day in communities all across the country, people are diagnosed with bacterial infections and prescribed antibiotics. These antibiotics are heroes, but they are also imperfect. Their lightsaber wielding may cause damage on their own. With antibiotics, this is extra true, as not only do they cause …

If you’ve followed us for some time, you can probably already tell we are not very big fans of fad diets here at Woodstock Vitamins. Diets ultimately aren’t sustainable. Fad diets often deprive your body of essential vitamins and minerals. Whatever weight you do lose will most likely come back—with a vengeance—when your diet is over. It’s …
