you know they're better living through chemistry, which is why health food stores generally don't stock the stuff.

I remember it in the 70s at a vitamin store that didn't know any better. Some of it is really, really good. However, their products do have a lot of crap in them.

ETA: Amazon sells their stuff if you use a lot of it.
