About us
A supplement shop in Victoria, open since 1984.
Bruce D. Reid opened The Vitamin Shop in 1984 to sell brand-name supplements at discounted prices, with service that did not cut corners. Four decades later that is still the whole business.
1212 Broad St., Victoria, BC V8W 2A5
Over 35 people work here.
Among them licensed herbalists and certified product advisors, which is why the phone number on this site reaches a person and not a queue. Call 1-888-386-1211 Mon to Fri, 9am to 5pm PT and ask them anything, whether or not you buy from us.
Customers across Canada and beyond have bought from us for four decades. That is the only testimonial worth quoting: people kept coming back.

So what is the Price Vault?
It is the members-only side of the same shop. We buy direct, with nobody in the middle taking a cut, then sell it for close to what we paid. That price sits under the lowest one a brand allows a store to show in public, which is the only reason it is behind an email instead of on the shelf.
Same bottles, same suppliers, same Victoria, BC warehouse. Nothing in it is expired, discontinued or repacked, and no price in it is a sale that ends on Friday.
Shop the VaultCan’t find it?
The shop stocks more than the website lists. Email or call and we will look for it, order it in where we can, and tell you plainly when we cannot.
Come in, or call.
