Our Pharmacy
Founded in 1965, our full-service pharmacy has safely provided prescription drugs
for 45 years. Our pharmacists have significant knowledge of nutrition
and alternative medicine, as well as nutrient depletions, drug-nutrient interactions,
and drug-herb interactions, information that most pharmacists cannot provide. We
can advise you about side-effects from prescription drugs that can be mitigated
by replacing key nutrients in the body that the drug depletes.

Our Custom Compounding
Village Green Apothecary specializes in custom compounding of vitamins, minerals and prescription drugs. These individualized compounds are prepared on a nutritionist's or physician's orders, like a regular prescription, and offer several distinct advantages over mass-produced bottled products, such as:
- simplifying a nutritional program
- providing accurate, tailor-made dosages
- reducing the number of capsules needed daily
- typically costing less than multiple individual capsules
- elimination of non-natural fillers, binders, dyes and other possible allergens.
Our compounds are of superior quality, easy to order and most are covered by insurance plans. A custom compound normally takes 2-4 days to prepare.
Some physicians who regularly prescribe individualized compounds include OB/GYNs, family care doctors, allergists, pediatricians, veterinarians, and dermatologists. An interesting note: prior to mass production of drugs in the 1960s, most prescriptions required compounding by a druggist or apothecary.
