Let customers speak for us
from 1110 reviews
I am very happy with Village Green’s products and fast, reliable delivery of orders.
Used this product to relieve constant digestion, gas and bloating. Immediately helped me pass gas and use the bathroom. Suffer from constipation and sibo and this knockdown bad bacteria overrunning my gut. Strong you will hear at first so take slow.
Self Manifestation (Solar Plexus Chakra) Essential Oil Pre-Diluted Roll-On
Packaged well. Product was on time as promised
This is the combination my nutritionist approves
Outstanding product and ingredients for eye health with great results
Village Green staff is outstanding and helpful, Louis, Tatiana, Kirstie, & Kala above and beyond
I have used this for many years and like it a lot and will keep on using it
I've been using this for decades. Natural, minimal chemicals that retard the development of stink producing bacteria. Long-lasting on the skin, and months of use per item.
I was asked to write a review I don't know if what I have to say would help but here it is. I am 74 years old and have trusted Village Green for years. Trust is something you earn in my opinion, and they have fulfilled their side of each purchase with professionalism, and I fulfilled mine with loyalty.
Good product
It’s lowering my cholesterol.
Anytime I need an expert CARING voice to help me make my supplement buying decisions I always come here. So grateful for the time they offer each customer.
Gives me my essential amino acids. I put it in my coffee
I found out about Jamaican Dogwood years ago from my herbalist Leslie Alexander, still practising in Erie Pa. It stops pain, doesn't bring me or down and If I need to sleep, it lets me. Great herb. Great price, Thank-you, Debb
