Your usual basket at The Vitamin Shoppe probably includes foundational health staples like a multi, omega-3, probiotic supplement, and protein powder. Maybe you even snag a protein bar and energy drink for the road. But there’s way more to explore if you’re really serious about lifelong wellness.
Here are six types of products we bet you’d never guess you could get at The Vitamin Shoppe. Consider yourself an insider the next time you stop into your local store or load up your cart online!
1. Toiletry Essentials
For those who prefer an au naturel oral care routine, you’ll find an abundance of toothpaste and mouthwash options. Some of our favorites include Hello Products Antiplaque and Whitening Toothpaste, which is fluoride-free and contains natural peppermint, tea tree oil, and coconut oil, and Spry Mouthwash, which is alcohol-free and targets bad breath with a natural blend of CoQ10, myrrh, sage, chamomile, thyme, tea tree oil, and aloe vera.
You can also stock your bathroom counter with natural deodorant options, including body sprays like Crystal Mineral Deodorant Spray (made without any aluminum chlorohydrate or parabens) or classic roll-on options like Nubian Heritage Honey and Black Seed 24 Hour Deodorant.
Additionally, as part of a wide variety of women’s health products, you can also find natural Menstrual Cups. These easy-to-empty cups allow for comfortable 24-hour protection and are made with 100 percent medical-grade silicone for easy cleaning.
2. Workout Gear & Accessories
Whether you’re at the gym or still crushing those home workouts, there are plenty of fun and innovative fitness accessories to discover at The Vitamin Shoppe.
No weights, no problem! Check out Short Resistance Bands from Women’s Best or Mini Loop Bands and a Performance Jump Rope from Sports Research.

Level up an ordinary workout with the Sweat Belt Waist Trimmer from TC1, push yourself to the max with this Donut Ever Give Up shaker cup from BlenderBottle, and finish your session with a Rechargeable Deep Tissue Massager by Copper Fit.
3. Blue Light Glasses
If you’ve found yourself spending more and more time staring at screens, you may benefit from a pair of blue light glasses. The Vitamin Shoppe carries a handful of fun styles, but we especially love these The Snatcher In Black Tie Anti-Blue Light Glasses from The Book Club. You can protect them (and regular prescription glasses) from fogging up with KeySmart’s Fog Block Anti-Fog Solution And Lens Cleanser.

4. Pantry Staples
Stock your supplement cabinet and your pantry with all sorts of healthy foods, including Whole30, paleo, and keto items. From Grass-Fed Ghee and Avocado Oil, to grains like Red Bulgur, Organic Whole Grain Quinoa, and Organic Rolled Oats, you may never need a trip to the specialty food store again.
Some of our favorites when we don’t feel like cooking: Avocado Oil Mayonnaise and Protein Bread for quick sandwiches, Protein Crunchies Cereal for busy mornings, and a variety of nutrient-packed salad dressings for throw-together lunches.
5. Baking Needs
With the right ingredients on hand, baking can fit into any healthy lifestyle you’re following. From Oat Flour and Garbanzo Bean Flour to classic Whole Wheat Flour and Almond Flour, The Vitamin Shoppe has got plenty of alternative options. Plus, chocolate lovers can snag Cocoa Powder and Semisweet Chocolate Chips for brownies, cookies, cakes, and more.
