Holland & Barrett

I love this shop! being someone who believes in eating as healthy as posible and taking supplements its my heaven being in here!
from organic flaxseed to amino acids to almonds i could literally buy almost everything in the shop.
when they have the offers of buy one get one half price or buy one get one for a penny
then i stock up! althought you are limited to whats on offer?
they sell a wide range of other things to like creams and toothpaste without flouride
and even pet products.
staff are not as knowledgeable as they should be but try to be helpful and are friendly.
so know your product before you buy is always best.

Well, it’s only fair to give this place a little analysis since I mentioned it while looking at GNC. This is definitely more within my comfort zone, although some of the supplements rub me up the wrong way ethically when they involve shark cartilage or what-​not. However I’ve never been one for imbibing strange substances and am more than happy to stick to my vegetarian pork pies and flavoured health nuts.
There are some sporty powders incorporated in the selection at this Deansgate offering, alongside stuff I’m totally clueless about like the equivalent of Gillian McKeith’s ultimately useless yet hilariously titled Horny Goatweed. Do you know, I can’t stand her to the extent that in Home Bargain there was some nice-​looking cereal at 99p but I refused to buy it because her smirking face was on it. How on earth could I wake up to that every day?
Back to H&B, as you can tell I’m selective about what I purchase here. I’m more interested in the health foods than the capsules, things I haven’t tried cooking with like quinoa which is meant to be so healthy you actually develop a halo. Also the gargantuan bags of banana chips, dried fruit and nuts are great for stocking up on to add to puddings and porridges. Definitely one for the odd perusal, but you shouldn’t live your life in here. I refuse to believe anyone who prefers carob over chocolate.
