Okay, so it's off the beaten path. But this is EssEff, what would be more appropriate?

Vitamin Express is a great place for vitamins (duh), supplements, healthy snacks, lotions, aroma therapy, gum, and more.

Why is this one of the best places to shop in SF? Well, it's family owned and operated, there's a wide selection, and the staff really, really knows their stuff. I mean, if you want an informed opinion on the best echinacea, you'll get an , an informed and helpful one, not a sales pitch.


If you need stocking stuffers for your favorite health nut, body builder, dieter, or aficionado of homeopathic remedies, you couldn't do much better -- and the staff will know exactly what to recommend.
