Site Review: Ages Top for Herbal and Homeopathic Preparations.

Web address: http://www.agestop.net

Brief Rating: A very good site.

If you are looking for herbal remedies, homeopathic preparations or vitamin supplements, try this easy to navigate site.  Use the search facility to find a product and the straight forward checkout to purchase.    Items usually arrive within a week or so, many of the tablets and capsules are vacuum packed into  durable plastic sleeves, then slid inside rigid cardboard folders so that they  don't get bent or damaged, before being sent out in unmarked envelopes to ensure your confidentiality.

Site Review: Alexander Essentials Healthfood Store.

Web address: http://www.alexander-essentials.com

Brief Rating: A very good site.

This really is a health food shop at your fingertips.  All products are categorized well and beautifully laid out, each section being an Aladdin's cave of discovery with everything from vitamins, Bach flower remedies, wholefoods, veggie ready meals, dried beans and pulses, tinned goods, beverages, crisps and snacks, chocolates sweets and much much more.  Its easy to order and goods usually arrive within a fortnight.  You can buy items individually, or by the case for a slightly lower price.  There is also a wholesale site here too but you would need to order dozens of the same item to qualify for a price reduction.

Brief Rating: A very good site.

Goods are easy to order.   They are sent out in plain packaging for your privacy.
