Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

Why Achillea & Co.?

Achillea & Co. isn’t like any other health store you’re probably thinking of. We are constantly innovating and reinventing ways our community can achieve responsible, exceptional health.

Our commitment to offering professional grade, evidence-based natural health supplements that are hand-picked for effectiveness sets us apart.

Instead of putting just any bottle labeled “natural” on our shelves, we screen and research every single one of our products to ensure they meet the highest of standards, making the shopping process easier and you feeling better. We only carry products that are thoroughly researched and responsibly produced. We do not support products or brands that make claims without evidence or use ingredients and manufacturing processes that are unethical.

Bonus? Most of the products we offer are manufactured and supplied from Canada, and all of our products will always be 100% clean and natural. We care deeply about our planet, and make sure every sale gives back to it. After all, without it, our products wouldn’t exist!

In an industry full of hope, hype and confusion, we strive to maintain an ethical and responsible commitment to your wellbeing and the wellbeing of our local community.

Operated by a husband and wife team using our local community approach, we are cheerleaders for your health, and advocates for living your life joyously and exceptionally.

Can you recommend products that will treat my health condition?

No. We do not, and cannot, provide medical or professional advice. Our products and the information we communicate to you are for informational purposes only and are not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. We encourage everyone to always seek the advice of your qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition or treatment, and prior to trying a new health care regimen.

What does it mean to be a “professional grade” supplement store?

“Professional” grade means supplements are research-based, guaranteed of their content, and contaminant-free. All of our supplements are professional grade and meet the regulations of Health Canada and the FDA. All of the formulations we carry are researched and designed by practitioners based on evidence based science.

Where do the ingredients in your supplements come from?

The ingredients in the products we carry are as clean, high quality and vetted as it gets. If we wouldn’t use it ourselves, then you won’t find it in any of the products we sell!

All of our suppliers validate every single raw material that enters their facilities prior to manufacturing, and all dietary ingredient raw materials, regardless of country origin, are quarantined and subject to rigorous third-party testing.

We make every effort to ensure our suppliers uphold the highest standards. All of our suppliers ensure organic herbs remain organic and that all the herbs in the products we carry remain free of insect contamination prior to processing. Herbs are handled and processed at every stage with the utmost care. 

We have a zero-tolerance policy for toxic solvents, pesticides, herbicides, and genetically-modified organisms in our selection’s certified organic herbs and extracts.

How do I know the supplements you offer contain accurate formulations and dosing?

The formulations that every single product we carry are researched and designed by practitioners based on evidence based science and approved by Health Canada. Products are developed using the highest grade possible raw materials with vegetable capsules.

With regards to dosing, the majority of the botanical compounds used in the products we carry are tested using the most accurate analysis method available, High Performance Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry. Currently, this is the most advanced and widest application tool for analysis, allowing for the most precise measurements in parts per trillion rather than parts per billion or million.

We work with suppliers who go above and beyond to ensure formulations are the most accurate on the market today. Our super vetted, highly screened process for all of the products we carry ensures only the best for you and your health!

Is the manufacturing of the products you carry earth-friendly?

Yes! We are advocates for a sustainable, greener and protected Planet. We ensure our suppliers are proactive in our commitment to the environment and use biodegradable packing materials, manufacture in either glass or completely recyclable plastic bottles, and practice sustainable resourcing. Some of our suppliers even go so far as to pledge 100% carbon offset for manufacturing and shipping, as well as donate profits to environmental, conservation and social justice organizations.

Are your products vegan/vegetarian?

Most of our products are vegan friendly, except products that contain Vitamin D, digestive enzymes, and fish oil. Vitamin D is sourced from lanolin, a byproduct of wool from sheep, and is in the following products: Liquid Vitamin D & Bone Basics. Digestive enzymes are made from porcine and ox bile, found in only one of our products, Digestive enzyme SAP. The Lavender SAP we carry contains bovine gelatin in its gel cap.

Are your products free of allergenic ingredients?

We aim to source products that contain the lowest amounts of allergenic ingredients as possible, if not already 100% free of allergens. All of the products we carry are free from gluten, and almost all are free of wheat and dairy. We encourage anyone purchasing anything from us to carefully examine each individual label and the product’s stated ingredients prior to use for extra peace of mind. It’s also super important to note the difference between wording on some labels. For example, NFH probiotics have been in contact with dairy, but do not contain dairy proteins.

Are your products’ ingredients organic?

The majority of the companies we work with use standardized extracts from organic raw herbs.

Are your products gluten free and GMO free?

Yes, all of the products we carry are gluten & GMO free.

Online Shipping & Returns

Do you accept returns for online purchases?

If you have a question regarding the product or have any other product related concerns, please contact the manufacturer at the phone number on the packaging. We do not accept returns on opened merchandise. If you have any questions at all, please contact us at info@achilleaandco.com.

Can you cancel your order after it has been shipped?

No cancellations will be accepted after an order has been shipped. If you have any issues or concerns about your order, contact our customer support team and we will be happy to assist you!

When can I expect my order?

Most orders are processed same-day, with the exception of weekends. To be safe, please allow 1-2 business days of processing time for orders to be picked, packed and prepared for shipping unless otherwise noted on the product page of the item(s) you’ve ordered, or communicated via email. The same processing time applies to store pickup orders.

We use Express Post shipping for all orders, which is typically next day or two day delivery Canada-wide. Standard shipping for the Kootenay Boundary area usually takes from 1-2 business days from time of pick up, parcels going further than BC may take longer. We are currently unable to offer specific delivery estimates due to delays related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
