The Vitamin Shoppe is my go-to place for multivitamins. It was actually cheaper to buy them here than through the manufacturer. I was able to combine a buy one, get one free offer, with a 20% discount for in-store pick up. Online ordering was easy and seamless. Although the email confirmation said to allow two hours for pick up, they notified me the order was ready in less than a half hour. I went to the Sports Arena location. I sometimes go to Grossmont as well. Both stores appear to be similar in size and product offerings. When I walked in, someone quickly offered to help me and retrieved my order. I was in and out in about three minutes. As always, excellent customer service at both locations. read more

This is only my second time here and I had a great easy experience. I've got a half marathon coming up real fast and I neglected to plan ahead on finding energy gels or chews. To my surprise, these bad boys are hide to find around here. I checked grocery stores, sporting good stores and other vitamin shops. I called ahead to make sure they carried this in the store. And they did! I drove over on my break to pick some up. The brands and flavors are very limited. I went with GU as recommended by the store clerk. She also recommended sticking with chocolate or vanilla. Staff was really helpful on helping me decide. The store is very well kept and well lit. They have a good assortment of supplements and vitamins. There is plenty of parking. The turn getting out and back in the freeway is a little tricky so be careful. Overall friendly staff and good service. I was in and out with I needed quickly. And they didn't try to sell me any crazy products I didn't need. read more

Very friendly and helpful staff, especially Kelsea who was very patient and thorough in answering all my questions about the supplements I was interested in. Thank you again and I'll be back! read more

The Vitamin Shoppe - Vitamins & Supplements Near Me - San Diego, California

I really enjoy going to the TVS for my supplement needs. Ran in to purchase "The Cleaner 7 day Women's Formula" detox and some BCAA for my workout. I didn't get the young lady's name that helped me, however she was very helpful and knowledgeable about both products I purchased. My sister was raving about the "The Cleaner" detox and I really wanted something to help cleanse my system and help jump-start my eating clean. The employee educated me on how I should take my BCAA. For example, I should be drinking the BCAA during my workout, not before (silly me..I didn't know lol)!! Anyway, the employees at TVS are knowledgeable and can definitely help you if you have questions about the products they carry. read more

I've always had a good experience when coming to this Vitamin Shoppe. Although the Rosecrans/Midway area can be pretty chaotic, I have always been able to get in and out of this store without any trouble at all. The parking lot always feels super busy, but I have always been able to park easily. This store always has everything I am looking for in stock which is so great. My main reason for coming each month is for my refrigerated probiotics. Although I am sure there are many places I can purchase from, I just feel the most confident buying here. The staff are always so friendly and knowledgeable here and I like that they always have at least two people working. read more

This has become a delightful place to stop into. Every member on staff is highly knowledgeable and takes time to really try and understand what I'm looking for when I come in. It's the little things and they do them well with consistency and authenticity. read more

Not a bad place for vitamins and such. I feel like I wanted just a bit bigger selection but they had what I needed. I specifically went in for a good pre and probiotic. These can be expensive and you need to know a little about them to know whats a good option. The clerk there actually was pretty knowledgeable about them so I appreciated her help. read more

Probably one of my more preferred supplement shops. Good variety, decent prices and nice not pushy staff. My go to place for snacks and other protein bars they almost always have a sale. Good selection of high quality vitamins too. read more

With chain stores like Vitamin Shoppes and other nutrition/vitamin sores, the main thing that sets them apart from each other is the customer service. I was not impressed at all by this Vitamin Shoppe location. The store, itself, was clean and well stocked with your normal supplements- protein, bars, vitamins galore and even organic soap and shampoo. The two ladies I encountered seemed very uninterested in their jobs. They were more into their poorly done tans than they were about answering my questions. All I wanted to know was when the Metabolic representative was coming in. When I finally found out that the rep had left earlier than scheduled, I asked if they had any samples. The two ladies gave each other a confused look. SMH! read more

Came in to get some herbal supplements and protein to boost my lifting. Molly was extremely helpful. She walked me through the various brands for each item I was looking for and explained the benefits of each. She was super knowledgeable about the claimed health benefits of certain supplements, addressing all my questions and concerns. With so many supplement manufacturers, it's very helpful to have someone who knows which products have the best reputation and that get the best results. Will definitely be back at this location. read more

I just bought a gift card for my dad. He shops here weekly. The staff are friendly and helpful.

I could have probably given you the colors of the logo, but I had never actually stepped inside a Vitamin Shoppe. Tired of Strawberry, I was ready to try a new whey powder. I did some window shopping around the Intrawebs, and found the going price to be about $50 give-or-take for 5lbs. of Optimum Nutrition Whey. I was happy to see that The Vitamin Shoppe was advertising $37.99. Scorrrrre. Walking in, the layout is surprisingly open, unlike all of the GNC's I'd ever visited. At GNC, I always feel like products would be hanging down from the walls if they could get them to stay...basically way too much clutter. But, I digress. At Vitamin Shoppe, all products are arranged by brand and function. I was a little disheartened to see that the price of the whey was MSRP, but upon asking one of the employees, he looked it up online for me, and gave me the discount right there. Happy chappy. Overall, great experience. I was in and out in about 10 minutes, and will definitely be returning for any additional needs (at least after looking online first, ha). Thanks Vitamin Shoppe!!! ***I got kind of freaked out by all the "anabolic enhancements" in the back. Do people really take that stuff??? read more

This place has sweet sweet prices and is run by awesome people! So I hired a personal trainer to get fit to pass the physical test for the police academy, and was told to get a protein shake to drink after workouts and an amino acids based powder to protect and build muscle (to be added to the protein shake). I went into this Vitamin Shoppe just to buy the Matrix shake and was going to buy the other from one of the trainers at my gym. But when I went inside and explained things the store manager found me a comparable product that was less money than what the trainer was offering me! He also educated me in the field of exercise and really gave me some good quality attention even though I wasn't spending more than $50. I had only been in this store once prior to today's visit, and the employees remembered me from last time. One of them even printed out some information for me that was inspired from a conversation we had when I first visited the store 2 months ago, just in the event I happened to come back!!! Seriously, this pace has some of the best customer service I have ever experienced. Apart form the awesome prices and the brilliant customer service, this store has a HUGE range of products. I even bought some white pomegranate tea that comes in silk bags which gives the tea a better taste. This store has earned my business for life, and I am going to recommend it to everyone I know, and I recommend it to all of you. read more

My earliest memory of vitamin consumption involves Flinstones Chewables. Remember those? Sooooo gooood - like Sweet Tarts. Then my mom, a daughter of a Mexican curandera, intro'd me to a spoonful a night from a bottle of liquid heaven, which was basically vitamins suspended in sweet 10% fruit alcohol. Say goodnight little boy. :) Now I'm grown up and a vegetarian. I'm also rather healthy - thanks Ma! But veggies need protein. Vitamin Shoppe's the place for me. First off, the folks are nice and helpful to a certain extent, but I'm not there for service. I shop there for the products and the price. The skinny: - Central location (near downtown). - Low prices - Membership club for those who buy lots of supplements - Secret savings: They'll match their on-line price to anything in-store - They do sell chewable vitamins! The fat: - Getting in an out of parking lot can be tough - drive south on Rosecrans and enter from the first driveway south of Sports Arena Blvd then loop around the parking lot to the north side. Overall impression: It's a discount vitamin store. Come here to buy your favorite herbal extractions or muscle building juices. You'll save a buck or two. - read more

I don't go to many GNC or other vitamin stores to really compare. But I would say Vitamin Shoppe is a pretty reputable place to get your supplements. The staff are pretty knowledgeable on how all the different types of pills work in your body. I am a member of their rewards/loyalty card program so I'm just waiting for my coupons! read more

Very clean store with friendly employees and quick checkout! I just wish they were located in a less busy area lol! They had this very hard to find clay (Rhassoul Clay) that I was looking for that neither Whole Foods or Spouts carried. I'm glad they had it because I didn't want to pay an arm and a leg shopping online for it. The parking was decent and it wasn't too busy, but I can tell when it gets busy parking may pose a problem, but my ratings were for the service and ease of checking out read more

Very clean store. The staff were very polite and helpful - not pushy at all. They asked one time if there was anything I needed help with and didn't continue to hound me until I needed them. They were well educated in their products. It location is unfortunately on sports arena blvd which is by far the worst traffic pattern in San Diego. The "ancillary" sales people (the people who don't work for the store but have separate display tables set up in the store) were also polite and didn't push their products. Will defiantly return for my vitamin and supplement needs. read more

Jenna deserves 10 stars. She's very nice, she answered all the million questions my husband and I had and was really helpful.

Nice big store, good customer service. Bit hard to pull into as the driveways of this mall are all tiny and people are always waiting to get onto the main roads. read more

Genuine Customer Service and a no hassle to buy approach that Danny (whom I later found out was store manager) is what hooked me back in March and keeps me returning not only to this location but to this sales associate. With answers or a willingness to find one when thrown a curve ball question about products Danny is very personable and approachable when on the sales floor. Not only being attrntive to me but anyone else that may be in the store. Having worked in customer service for 3 years and understanding a lot of retailers push for sales without a proper connection with each client and their needs has forced me to utilize as much as I hate to say it online sources. Vitamin Shoppe in Point Loma definitely has a Gem in its store and will keep me coming back for my variety of supplemental needs as I look forward to my visits as they arise. read more

This is the only place I buy my supplements from. Great selection and prices. The staff is knowledgeable about the products. They also have good deals online. read more

Very friendly, helpful service. I was sort of wandering around in a daze (hadn't eaten lunch yet!) and three different employees assisted me in finding the items I was looking for. They had a BOGO (Buy One Get One) at 50% sale on their Vitamin Shoppe branded products. The store is pretty huge, I think you could pretty much find whatever you are looking for in terms of supplements, vitamins, etc. I had previously only ordered from them online (very nicely done website, remembers your previous orders, well laid out, easily searchable etc.) . The cashier looked me up in their system, updated my info & made sure I got my "rewards" credits. They seem to be a cross between GNC & Nutrisport. If you are familiar with those two, you'll know what I mean. Oh yeah, no "membership" fee required for the cheap prices. read more

The Vitamin Shoppe - Vitamins & Supplements Near Me - San Diego, California

Honestly, the best Vitamin Store in town because the employees are super friendly and knowledgeable. They make you feel welcome here.

I went here to look for some protein powder over the weekend and naturally, I got lost looking at other products (I love supplement stores). However, when I had questions the employees were relatively uninformed which kind of turned me off. It's always OK to say "I don't know, let me check.." but they just kind of gave me a crummy answer. I would probably go to a smaller supplement store where the employees are more knowledgeable next time. I value the education I get when I'm shopping for new supplements... I gave them 3 stars only because their selection is pretty extensive which is nice. read more

These guys carry homeopathic remedies for a VERY reasonable price. There is a large selection to choose from, though mostly from Boiron (I prefer Hyland's, but when I'm getting ill, I'm not that choosy!). They also have nice children's products that are hypo-allergenic as well as a nifty 'clearance' table. Staff members here have always been very helpful to me and I appreciate that very much! read more

Such a great place with totally knowledgeable and friendly staff! Jenna is the best ever! Always has the answers to my questions, knows the products and store inside and out, and always takes that little bit of extra time to make you feel special and leave better educated about whatever you wanted to know! Neil is wonderful too, always friendly and helpful, also very knowledgeable! The only downside to this place has nothing to do with the store, but it is located in a busy busy busy shopping area and parking can be pretty painful sometimes. read more

Large selection of wellness products. Mainly vitamins and supplements. They also have a nice selection of natural body care products. I'd never been to this place before, because I buy all my stuff at Sprouts. But I was searching for Manuka honey, and they had the best quality for the lowest price. They had an 'online only' discount, but you can order online to get the discount price, then choose the 'pick up in store' option. It seems they often have sales online. They carry products here that are difficult to find elsewhere. If they don't have it in stock at the store, then they will order it for you. Customer service was friendly and helpful. That is good, because I was getting fed up with the rude employees at Sprouts. Location is by the Starbucks near the intersection of Sports Arena and Rosecrans, in that same corner mall as Petsmart. read more

Excellent customer service, and I was able to find EVERYTHING I needed, plus some extra things I needed like essential oils. This is a one stop shop for everything health related! They seem to have regular discounts and sales so even though I delete most of the emails I get they are worth paying attention to if you buy vitamins/minerals/etc on a regular basis. read more

I went in the other day for some muscle recovery supplements, I was greeted and helped by kelsea, she was very helpful and knowledgeable about the different vitamins and supplements, she was even able to help me find supplements that wouldn't interact with the stuff I'm already taking. Excellent costumer service, I will be back again and again. read more

Definitely my preferred place to shop for supplements due to their competitive pricing and satisfaction guarantee. Shout out to Jack who helped me figure out the best brand to switch to after deciding I wanted to get away from whey protein and try out a plant based option! read more

I am a long time customer of 10 + years, and I just by stopped my local Vitamin Shoppe today and it was another great experience! Even though COVID-19 is a concern, The staff at this location especially Danny the Store Manager provided me with GREAT knowledgeable customer service! read more

I've gone here a few times and until today I would have said this place was pretty good, despite their terrible location. But today I was given really inaccurate information by a very patronizing and uninformed employee. Do your research! read more

I called yesterday to see if i can return my protein that i brought she looked at my acct and said i could return it I drove from Miramar for the assistant manager to tell me I couldnt return it!! I also talked to a manager that day which was a male and he also said it was ok for me to return it to receive credit...My point is the manager and the clerk gave me wrong information and I am stuck with this tub of protein that is disgusting~Im going elsewhere read more

Always excellent prices, exceptional customer service and clean environment. Prices definitely comparable to other supplement stores in the area, and even better vs all the other ones. Wide selection of supplements from multivitamins & probiotics to pre-workout & mass gainers. Usually a sale going on so $$ is always being saved shopping here. Never leave dissatisfied. read more

When I first came down to sunny San Diego I don't really know why but I had this goal of mine to really bulk up and hit the gym everyday before I discovered how there is a bar for every night of the week here! I came into this place to ask for advice and I was really impressed by the staff! They really take the time to find out what you are looking to get results in, and then tell you everything you don't need in order to get these results. They keep it very easy to understand and try to find out what kind of budget you have and explain that you don't have to buy the most expensice stuff. If I ever get away from the bar scene I will definately stop by here again! read more

This place has the worst customer service!!! EVER!!! I use to go there a lot to buy my supps but every time I was there I was followed around as If I was going to steal something! From the entire staff, two guys, a philipino and latin looking guy were the ones with great customer service! If it was up to me I would fire the rest of the people that work because there service sucks! read more

Love this location! Zack & Mervyn were the guys that helped us out & they were great! Very well educated & helpful. I was looking for pure DHA for my friend that is prego & needed the ones that weren't with prenatal. They knew exactly what I needed & even had multiple different kinds at this Vitamin Shoppe. It made it easy to get in & out quickly, which was good for us cause we were in a hurry. Mervyn even suggested Fenugreek to us for after babies were born which was good to know because I had no idea that would help. Oh & on top of all this great customer service, I even got a Organic Soothing Carmel bed time tea to help me sleep better at night. If u are in need of advice or just awesome help these are the guys to look for :) Thanks guys! read more

The only chain store for supplements I shop at. If you're into bodybuilding type supplements, talk to Dan. He definitely knows his stuff and used to compete himself. The prices and selection here are way better than GNC. They also do not and try to up sell you on anything or a so called discount card. The staff here is not pushy and they let you do your thing. The rewards program is sweet and I usually get at least a $100 bucks back in January. The only downside is Vitamin Shoppe does not get new items as fast as GNC. Oh well, totally worth the wait for value and price. read more

They always have what I'm looking for and the store is laid out well. Service is usually friendly and helpful, though this last time the cashier seemed put out that she had to operate the register. read more
