Good Nutrition

Every vitamin/​supplement you can imagine, mostly natural/​organic options. Packaged foods/​sweeteners, frozen bread, cold drinks, no fresh produce, though-​this is a vitamin & health food store. No complaints about the store-​its clean, decent prices, has what you need… Now as for the employees… I have caught one in a bold faced lie before, while I was trying to buy a product they were out of he convinced me the other product next to it was «the exact same thing.» I googled the difference, and he acted surprised but said he was aware of that. Ok… Also, I have been swayed to put back certain items & instead, «This is much better, buy this instead!» It was literally the same thing, just $ 20 more. This happens a lot here. Stick to your check list, try to not let the employees convince you into getting 5 – 10 more things that you really DONT need.

The store has an odd old-​vitamin smell. One of the employees was helpful, boasting that he had years of experience in homeopathy. The cashier was rude and arrogant, which made for an unpleasant shopping experience. I have only purchased essential oils here. According to the self-​assured cashier, food items cannot be returned. Any other item can be returned minus a hefty restocking fee. I’d rather buy from Whole Foods or even online, where essential oils and products can be returned if you have a skin reaction, etc.

Can’t get enough of this place. Been coming here for many years. Love it. I drive many miles just to come here. GREAT!!! Prices and the staff are friendly and very educated on the products/​herbs. Thanks for the great service!!!

I usually order my vegan vitamins online, but when I look into my bottle of vegan D3 and notice I only have enough to make it through two days I head over to Good Nutrition. After being totally let down by the absolute lack of vegan vitamins at the vegetarian grocery store around the way, I was so glad to find this place nearby. They have all the natural brands that make soap, deodorant, toothpaste, etc. along with makeup and all sorts of other body enhancing products that are mostly vegan, organic, cruelty free, you know the drill. The selection of vegan friendly vitamins make me happy. I can’t get everything I want just how I want it, but they usually have something when I’m in a pinch. I definitely recommend hitting this place up for assorted vegan/​veg/​healthy needs.

I used to work on N. Druid Hills and frequented this establishment for convenience. However, even when my work moved to a new location I have still gone the extra mile to return here primarily due to the helpful and wise nature of one employee, Natalie.
While I have found the management and some of the other employees a bit aloof and disconected, Natalie more than makes up for it. She directly participates with the public and councils them on health matters and what nutritional products may help them as well as advising them about what nutrion fads they do not need to waste their money on.
While the nature of the store lacks aesthetic – you will find no new-​agey couture here. The products are lined up in an orderly utilatrian manner. Its no frills. The only reason I have been going there several years now is due to the sound nutritional advice I receive from this employee. It is difficult to get such counsel from some one free of charge – with no strings attached and that you can trust – as one wades through this portion of industry that often preys on the naïve customer in need of treatment.
Natalie has ensured my return buisness to this establishment. Im not sure what she does there. She seems to be a Jill of all trades. I have seen her stocking shelves and ringing up customers, but no matter what she is doing she always has time to stop and lend her expert advice to the shoppers. Always positive and helpful no matter how busy she may be, Natalie’s input about my nutritional needs has been invaluable to my healing. I suffer from diabetes (which is now nder control through nutrition) among other conditions
If every employee in the store were as knowledgeable and customer centered as Natalie, I would give the store a 5 star rating. Luckily she makes up for the others with her expertise and concern. If you go there and need advice, né sure to ask for her. I hope they realize what a gem she is. They should really let her run the store and train the others in her brand of customer service and in her wisdom about the healing properties of good nutrition. She is a pro. without her theyd have lost my business long ago.

Good Nutrition has been close to where I’ve lived for years, lurking in the periphery of my consciousness. But I’ve never gone in. I’ve driven to the Publix, I’ve driven to the Kroger, the Bruster’s, the Bagel Palace, the Top Spice, pretty much every other spot in Toco Hills but Good Nutrition. Until this week.
And I probably wouldn’t have wound up there now, except that my boyfriend and I decided to try a pre-​made meal service called «Fresh’n’Fit» because normally after work, we’re both exhausted, not done till 6 PM or later, and the thought of stopping at the grocery store, coming home and then cooking for an hour plus, is less than appealing.
Fresh’n’Fit has multiple locations across the Atlanta area, so it seemed like a good idea to pick one location close to one of our places, and since his commute to my house from work is closer than vice versa, we chose the Toco Hills locale just a couple miles from my location. And that location just happens to be within the Good Nutrition store.
Ergo, I ended up at Good Nutriton on Monday afternoon picking up our meals. And as I expected, this is a granola crunching, tree hugging, healthy health food store. Supplements of all kinds of stuff you never knew you were deficient in, «health food» snacks, more powders and pills than you can shake a stick at, and that funky «health» scent that seems to permeate all health food stores just by being health food stores.
So, not my favorite place to chill and hang out, but perfectly appropriate and not entirely unexpected as a place to pick up «healthy» meals. The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating as well. My only real qualm with this situation is the pick up hours: 2 PM — 7 PM isn’t exactly ideal for working people. Other than that, it’s all good.
