“Our customers continue coming back to us (some for as long as 20 years) because of our great low prices, quality products and informed staff,” explains store manager Patty Abraham.

Offering full lines of vitamin supplements, herbs and sports products, Elite Nutrition “is a great place to work because of the healthy atmosphere and the friendly customers,” says Patty after 14 years of working at Elite Nutrition.

Experienced, long-term employees like Patty and Alice, who has been with Elite for 20 years, ensure quality service for customers, who count on them for their product recommendations. Healthy Living magazine is a top source for information about new products, and both staff and customers eagerly read every issue.

Elite Nutrition also makes recommendations online at its website, www.elitenutritioncenters.com, where information about which nutritional supplements can help you achieve your personal health and fitness goals is easy to find. Rather than focusing on “selling” supplements, Elite Nutrition consultants guide customers to the right products customized to meet specific goals. The online supplement recommender involves a simple, five-step process that takes about 90 seconds to complete, and the website offers some 4,000 items at heavily discounted prices.

“Supplement RX has organized the confusing, chaotic world of nutrition supplements into a simple, sensible set of choices,” says Patty.

Known as the source for local, organic food in Des Moines, Iowa, Campbell's Nutrition is a natural foods grocery store, carrying a broad range of health-promoting products. “We are a blend of organic and natural groceries, supplements and body-care products, and we cater to those who want a healthy lifestyle,” says manager Stephanie Clemens, who enjoys being a part of the family-owned and locally operated business.

Having watched the health food industry come into its own during the past few decades, Stephanie says she appreciates the advances made in product variety and quality. It’s much easier now to eat a healthy vegetarian diet than it was when she first became a vegetarian some 18 years ago, she says, noting she shops at Campbell’s and especially enjoys the fresh seasonal produce the store purchases from local area farmers.

“I love that we support local farmers whenever possible,” she adds. In addition to the mouth-watering local fruits and vegetables, customers often come in looking for specific products, which they may read about in Healthy Living magazine. “Our large clientele includes people in all stages of living a healthy lifestyle,” says Stephanie. Some people come in knowing what they want, while others are looking for direction or advice, based on certain ailments they want to heal.

Fish oil, probiotics and multivitamin supplements are among the bestsellers in the store. And if customers want more information or guidance, Campbell’s works with local naturopaths and nutritionists to help their customers find the healing they need.

With more than 75 years in the area, Campbell’s Nutrition has been a “staple in the community for quite some time,” says Stephanie.

They offer a free email newsletter with great health tips and special promotions too. Sign up online at www.campbellsnutrition.com, or visit one of their two locations: in the Uptown Shopping Center at 42nd & University, 4040 University Ave., Suite D, in Des Moines, Iowa, 50311; or at 2749 100th St. in Urbandale.
