"My post-operative search for pure protein powder to supplement a medically required 3-day liquid diet brought me here. In my youth (never mind the wisecracks), I would be in the gym 5-days a week so visiting this muscle store was sort of fun like going down memory lane! But that was then and this is now (as the French say) ... today I needed a protein powder that fit my current diet.... mainly no soy, no sugar, and no carbs or other man-made chemicals. Most all powders contain soy but soy is a toxin for some (like me). I was able to find a great powder without soy, milk, sugar or carbs! I liked how the only sweetener used was 1g of Stevia root which has a zero-glycemic index. The price was a bit steep ($42 for 2 lbs) but I might be back when my current supply (different brand) runs out.Enjoyed talking to the knowledgeable young man behind the counter (who looked like he could bench press my car for a warm up without sweating!).Very happy to know this resource is close by in the neighborhood.And the former weightlifter in me? I think American poet Theodore Roethke put it best when he penned:"I measure time how a body sways"Boy do I sway nowadays!Mahalo for reading my review."
"This store has been here forever and to my recollection it hasnt changed much.Located right next to kisos or diagnally across hans L'orange park....Its so cool to see these old school Mom & Pop stores still exist. I guess back in the days beforeregular and massive shopping markets there were these little superettes .....Pretty cool besides canned goods..a deli...frozen foods ...seafood section...snacks..icecream . ice ...fresh food they also have pretty extensive liquor selections and sell feed for livestock.I like that places like Nii superette still exist serving their communities with convenience and old word charm."
"Funny thing! I found Celestial Natural Foods by finding my way to the Cosmic Kitchen! Yep, that's right! The Cosmic Kitchen is in the back of this fantastic store!This organic/natural food market is in historic Haleiwa and is a historic business in its own right! I spoke with Leilila, one of the daughters of the founder, Carter Allen, and she said her dad founded this place in 1974! (at the location it stands today!!)First, Celestial Natural Foods is a Non-GMO store! Love that!! Honestly folks, Celestial has an assortment of everything. Supplements, if you have gluten-free needs they have a lot of givings, local fresh produce, homeopathic, vegetarian and vegan goods, herbs and spices, sustainable products, reef safe sunscreen, natural beauty products, essential oils, juices, kombucha (and Kombucha on tap!!), granola, probiotics, plant based cheeses, Dr. Bronner's products, flours, all sorts of plant based flours, snacks... think Whole Foods but in a family owned, local small town way. It's a smallish type store but it is jam packed! I really, really like it has the old school store freezers, shelves, etc... and vibes. It's such a comfortable, like a "you've been here before" kind of store. Celestial was as busy as a beehive when I was there and everyone was still so friendly! Crystal, an employee there, was extremely helpful and kind. I'm just the next town over and I'm already looking forward to my friendship with Leilila and Celestial Natural Foods. It'll see you soon!"
"This was my first time by myself in a vape shop, I was buying my hubbby a new mod and some different flavor vapes. I was completely clueless. Ryana helped me pick out everything. She didn't make me feel dumb for all my questions and gave me good recommendations. Thanks girl!"
"Do you use CBD? Gummies?Liquid?Do you eat it?Do you smoke it?Do you chew it?Do you inhale it?What do you do with your CBD?This is located on sand island kind of in the middle of the industrial area...... Only street parking but you'll be in and out. CBD flower:I come here for the CBD flower. It's a part of the cannabis plant but contains NO THC. I love it because it's natural, organic (since it's actual plant), and most potent way to get CBD. The cons are that it actually looks like weed (you can buy it prerolled like a cigarette or loose that you have to load in a pipe), SMELLS like weed, and kind of looks suspicious lol. Not a lot of place carry the CBD flower so I appreciate this option. They also have different flavors with the percentages of how much CBD in each one.Service has always been spot on too. :)"
"Got the Macacao Smoothie. It's a little more liquidy than I usually like but I've been coming here for awhile and love the honey and peanut butter they use. It is on the more expensive side, but overall enjoyed the taste"
"Unfortunately our dogs are on chronic cough medicines that need compounding and the team at ElixRx are always so accommodating in making sure we are able to get our pups what they need despite our busy schedules and living on the opposite end of the island. They are always kind, professional, and efficient. They truly are life savers, both for humans and our four legged friends. I'm grateful for them and all they do."
"Sakura grape is the best true bold flavor. Tried to redeem the Yelp coupon, but was disappointed that none of the employees knew about it, so was unable to utilize it, even had me activate it... but didn't use it. Workers are still nice though. Remember to ALWAYS TEST product before leaving the store bc if it's defective, there's no remedy for it. No refunds, credit or exchange if you leave."
"Yuiky deserves a raise she found so many things for me and helped me so much. Great person and employee. She's so awesome. Would recommend"

These smaller, nutrition shops are 100% better than GNC or anything like that. They got all the good stuff and the staff is super knowledgeable. If your serious about your fitness journey this is the place to get your supplements. Thanks guys

My absolute favorite store on the island. If you're in the need for healthy snacks, your dose of other Hawaiian snacks and goodies, chicken feed and an abundant selection of adaptogen drinks and herbal teas and coffees. This lovely family-owned shop has it ALL.And if you get the pleasure of meeting Nii Superette's owner, Stephen - he is the most knowledgeable, passionate and kind soul. Stephen puts his heart and soul into the selection of products at his shop, ask him anything about healthy snacks, adaptogen drinks and non-alcoholic beverages.Visit and support a long-time family owned business, you won't be disappointed. Mahalo for all of your help, guidance and for educating me about so many different products!

I like to support local businesses and this one hits the spot for those searching for health and wellness. The ambiance is that of a mom and pop shop for wellness. To the right you have supplements in liquid and pill form. The center of the store has shelves of pantry items and to the right refrigerated goods. They have so many items that you will not find in other stores like pure elderberry paste. Like their choice of cocojun yogurt on deck. There are many plant-based options for fellow vegans. We were pleasantly surprised to find pure sea moss as we have searched at farmers markets and other stores and failed. The workers were nice and helpful in guiding us they the store. Definitely stop here when you're in the area.

Kayli and Marlie (sorry if I spell your name wrong). But y'all were super helpful. I was in and out in 5min recommended something I was looking for in less than 10 seconds. Knew their stuff. They were funny too, but none the less efficient. Hard working, I came in and they were stocking and cleaning the place. Don't see that often. See ya guys again.

Brothers and sisters, hear me. Earth Mother Gaea has bestowed onto me a miracle cure. Take this magical extract, rub on your ailments, drink its nectars, do this on a moonless, cloudless, soundless night and when you awaken...CBD ( C21H30O2 ), cannabidiol, the essential component of medical marijuana. 100 percent Federally legal (provided it contains less than 0.3%THC). You don't get high. You don't eat everything in sight. You don't lose your sex drive.Ignore the charlatans at the Mall claiming CBD cures every medical condition from diabetes to cancer with testimonials from "real people".CBD is proven to do two things:1. Relieves pain and itching.2. Reduces anxiety and sleeplessness.Other potential benefits are currently being studied (it did cure a friends dog skin condition so she now has a full coat of fur, did nothing to improve my hair though).The CBD world is hard to navigate. No regulations on purity or even labeling exist. You need a trusted source who only sells, lab tested brands and stands behind the products they recommend. Vim N' Vigor is that source in Hawaii.All staff well versed in the wide array of products carried from ingestibles to topical sprays, balms, and patches from solid brands like Social CBD and Charlotte's Web.Prices are higher than buying direct from the manufacturers however there is an advantage to trying different brands before settling on a particular one. Other ingredients in the delivery system do impact how well they work for an individualDoes it work? Topically it was the only thing that stopped my mom's itching from a CKD related heart condition and now a spray on provides her with instant sharp pain relief from her arthritis with total pain relief within two hours, lasting for 48+ hours when using a 100mg patch.Paraphrasing Stuart Chase, "to those who believe, no proof is necessary. To those who don't, no proof is possible." On the fence? Visit Vim N' Vigor.

I've had a medication that needed very precise tapering and small doses to discontinue. Their quality was excellent and they have always been surprisingly quick.

My bf and I drive all the way here from Waipahu just to get our fix haha. I don't bother going to the Waipahu location, VERY rude customer service. Makes me wanna throw hands everytime I step into that location. Go to the Kalihi location if you want better customer service and won't feel like you're being rushed!! They will answer whatever questions you have without being soo annoyed from you.

"Absolutely Amazing shop, I had no problem getting information on getting a new Vape, Cory was great rep.. super friendly super easy and gave me a great discount.."
"Thank you Hemptuary for restocking your pet CBD for the New Year fireworks on NYE!! My dogs get so stressed out! Roli and your staff on Friday were so helpful! I called to check is they were restocked and asked to have one held for me to pick up just in case people came in to buy since it was sold out a couple days prior I'm so glad I called to recheck inventory. Thanks again!!"
"I was coming here since they were at their old spot on Kam Hwy. I was always happy to talk to the knowledgeable staff, look at new products, and just find out what is out there in the world of supplements. I was happy to find the PRO5 line of protein powders since most of them either give me a bad bad stomach ache, taste bad, and/or just doesn't have enough in it. This line is price pointed right with the amount of servings in it, taste great, and doesn't have all the fats the muscle milk has. It really helped me build some lean muscle mass. I was very happy to have found it.There are many other supplements in this place and the staff seems to know what will work for you according to what you are looking for as far as your performance.Go in and check the place out, you won't be disappointed. 080/365 wheyprotieingoodstuff yelp challenge"
"Proflexx carries many top supplement brands and even workout clothes and equipment. I was very impressed that they carry popular brands such as 5% nutrition, MPA supps, and Gaspari Nutrition. The staff are very knowledgeable about fitness as they are fitness enthusiasts as well. Their brand clothing(proflexx) is also very stylish and they have hoodies, leggings, t shirts, etc. Very comfortable materials and great fit.Proflexx also sponsors and supports many local athletes and competitors. As a former competitor, I know that a contest prep can be very financially draining. Proflexx helps by giving back to the local fitness communityIf you live in the kapolei area, want great individualized customer service, then check out Greg at proflexx."
"Very convenient shop located next to the gym. I can re-up on any supplement me or my other half may need. Parking is never an issue. The guy is very knowledgeable. Though it's usually one person working so if he's already assisting someone with questions it may be a while in the already cramped room. It's stuffed with tons of products. I rarely ever see a product I usually get out of stock. Supplements are really pricey...I'd recommend setting up a rewards program since there is competition with the other nutrition store few blocks down..."
"My wife been suffering chronic pain by her hip and upper thigh . It's been nagging her for a while now she can't do her daily walks because it's painful.So she suggested to check Medic808 CBD store located Uptown Pearlridge next door to Crazy Shirts and Macy's downstairs. So since I was in the area I decided to go inside and check it out.The sales associate was very helpful and knowledgeable she explained all the different CBD products. From roll on , cream and oils .The roll on is water based and the cream is oil base and the oils you take it internally.There's also 3 levels of pain that you can choose from . Of course the cheapest is for pain level 3 out of 10 and next level is 7 out of 10 and the highest level is of course 10 pain level .I didn't know which one to purchase so of course when in doubt you never go for the cheapest and not the most expensive just in case it doesn't work . So I purchased for my wife the middle level cream and roll on.I maybe can use the cream because I have an old injury that my knees get sore sometimes.I didn't know that these products are very expensive just look at my receipt. So this review will continue later with an update to say it really works or I just wasted my money . Support local"
"A smaller version of their Waikiki store with the most popular selling items. All hemp related products."
"If you're looking for supplements don't waste your time at gnc, vitamin shoppe, or any other big chain company. Go to a pro! These guys got everything you'll need from beginner to pro"
"So lucky!!! AJ was working at this location!!! The first time I've been a customer was at the Kalihi location. AJ was there to assist me. He actually gets my preference in flavor"
"This place knows how to treat Customers. Brendan helped me with some questions I had on supplements. Took the time to explain what's what. Also, he was helping other customers aswell and was not rude when he had to stop our conversation to ring someone up. This will be the only place I go from now on for any of my vitamins, pre workout, and supplement needs.If you have questions about what supplements to put in your body, stop by the Kapolei vitamin shoppe. The employees there have the answers and they will give you great customer service."
"AWESOME shop full of CBD products for a variety of ailments - balm for joint pain, lotion (body butter) for eczema, pills for sleep aids, etc. There are also a variety of CBD dog/pet products. And they sell printer ink, too (I'm guessing this used to be the original business . . and the reason for the "Mr. Ink" sign on the widow). The owner is super patient and knowledgeable. He will answer all of your questions and make recommendations if you're not sure which product is right for you.Located on School Street - after Shimazu shave ice, right before the McDonalds, opposite the highway on-ramp. Small parking lot in front."
"Pricey, but everything smells so good! This is a great place to buy gifts for locals or friends/family on the mainland. I did a good amount of Christmas shopping here, and I received a lot of positive feedback from the recipients. It's also great to support a locally owned small business in my neighborhood. They are part of the Fivestars rewards program, so don't forget to enter your number on the keypad before you pay for your goods."
