Supplements

The department is organized the way you'd shop it. The Vitamins aisle holds the single-letter staples and B-complex formulas; Minerals covers magnesium, zinc, iron and more; Herbal Supplements gathers traditional botanicals; Mushroom Supplements collects reishi, lion's mane and chaga; Digestive Health carries enzymes and probiotics; and Bone & Joint Health rounds out the set. Browse by aisle, or filter any page by brand, price and dietary labelling to narrow things down quickly.

Most products here are licensed natural health products, so look for the NPN (Natural Product Number) on the label — it tells you Health Canada has reviewed the product for its permitted uses. Beyond that, choosing often comes down to form: capsules and tablets for convenience, liquids and powders for flexible servings, lozenges and sachets for anyone who dislikes swallowing pills. We even stock empty vegetarian and gelatin capsules for shoppers who fill their own.

If you're starting a new routine or juggling several bottles, keep it simple: begin with the basics, read each label's directions, and check with your health-care practitioner before adding something new — especially if you take medication. The Greenbrook team is on the floor every day, and helping shoppers sort through this department is a big part of what we do.
