Welcome to Achillea & Co!

A professional grade store is different from a typical health food store because the supplements are often higher dosages and have undergone more thorough testing to ensure you are getting what is actually listed in on the bottle. These brands can only be sold in stores that have a licensed medical professional on staff (ie. medical doctor, naturopathic doctor, pharmacist, chiropractor), and often have medical professionals on their staff for supplement formulation and quality control.

The supplements we carry are hand chosen based on efficacy, research, quality, and years of experience and client satisfaction.

Here are our favourites for some common concerns:
