Vitamins & Supplements near Hoover, AL

“I recently visited the SunMed location in Hoover, AL, and it was hands-down one of the best retail experiences I’ve had in a while, especially for someone new and feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the options. From the moment I walked in, the store’s clean, inviting vibe set a relaxed tone, with neatly organized shelves showcasing everything from tinctures and gummies to topicals, all clearly labeled with their lab-tested details. It’s clear this place prioritizes quality and education over hard sells, which made all the difference for me.

What really made my visit shine was Jennifer, the associate who helped me out. She’s an absolute gem, super knowledgeable about the full range of SunMed products and genuinely passionate about matching them to individual needs. I was torn between a couple of full-spectrum tinctures: one for daytime focus and energy, and another for evening relaxation to help with my stress and sleep issues. Jennifer took the time to ask about my daily routine, explain the differences in cannabinoid profiles, terpenes, and even how they might interact with my existing wellness routine, all without any pressure. She broke it down in simple, relatable terms, sharing real customer stories and pointing out the third-party testing info right there on the packaging. It felt like chatting with a trusted friend who’s also an expert.

When I was still hesitating on the final pick, Jennifer went above and beyond by throwing in a complimentary sample of the alternative product, no strings attached. She said, “Try this at home and see how it feels; we’ll tweak it next time you’re in.” That small gesture turned my indecision into excitement, and honestly, it’s got me hooked on coming back. I left with exactly what I needed, feeling informed and cared for, not just like another transaction.

If you’re in the Hoover area and exploring wellness options, skip the guesswork and head straight to SunMed. The staff like Jennifer make it approachable and fun, and the overall service is what every specialty store should aspire to. Can’t recommend this spot enough.”

“I have never had a bad experience. When I walk in I am always greeted enthusiastically by Austin. He seemed genuinely interested in helping me get my life back on track and not like he was just trying to sell me on a product, he and his staff have always been very honest on what works and what doesn’t. When I first started my weight loss journey Austin told me about how he himself was severely overweight, then he walked me all the way through my weight loss journey and helped me start to live an active lifestyle. He took the time to teach me all about what diet would best benefit me even after I had already checked out. The GNC staff at Hoover have been nothing but helpful, informative, and pleasant. I always feel safe coming back.”

“This place is amazing! And with the Hoover store being next to Sam’s Such a time saver. Every time I enter I am cheerfully greeted by the amazing staff I can’t brag on these people enough. The best grouping of employees I have ever seen. From product knowledge to friendliness everything is 5 stars. Then they’re the actual product. Best in Alabama! I do believe all their bud comes from local Alabama farms and is the best I have ever tried Plus all the different artwork and sculptures and then the local market just sends it right over the edge into nirvana”

“Went there for the first time they were very nice and very helpful answered all questions that we ask would recommend to anyone looking for real professional service”

“I love it when a Budtender really listens to me and asks what I want or need. Then they take the time to explain to me why this Sativa or that Indica in this form or that might be better for me than the other.I always leave with confidence and some 'feel goodies'. The BEST CONSISTENT QUALITY of HERB in The HAM.”

“Such a great experience and store have went in many times getting meals for my husband and staff is always friendly and helpful. One of our go to places for meal prep and nutrition advice”

“I have been going to TC since he opened his shop in Vestavia before he moved to Caldwell Mill. He was extremely friendly, spent a lot of time showing me the various products and teaching me what he knew. I know a lot of folks who sell CBD products and Premium Products as far as I am concerned is definitely the best, fairest and most highly rated in town. He gave me good deals, several gifts and even came to my home when I was in dire need. I highly recommend his shop. As the founder of the Alabama Mother Earth Sustainability Alliance I hope to have him as a guest speaker in the future for our pot luck events.”

“Dr. Johnson and his staff are the absolute BEST! Steven Johnson has outstanding professionalism, and has a genuine kindness for his patients. I am an avid runner and I love to workout. Dr. Johnson keeps my body aligned and works out all the kinks in order for me to train for marathons and other competitions. If you are looking for great chiropractic care and dry needling, he is your man!!!”

“My good friend Opal works here and she is very knowledgeable about health and wellbeing. She loves her job and she’s very good at it! I like watching her online videos as well, they’re very interesting!”

“If I could give this place more than five stars, I would.
Golden Temple is hands down my favorite place in the whole world — and that’s not an exaggeration. We don’t even live in Birmingham, but every single time we’re anywhere near this city, we make it a point to stop here. It’s become a sacred ritual in our travels — like visiting a dear old friend who always lifts our spirits.

The store itself is pure magic. There’s something about the energy when you walk in — warm, welcoming, vibrant. It’s a rare gem that feels more like an experience than just a place to shop. The clothing is absolutely beautiful — stylish, soulful, and totally unique. It’s my favorite spot to shop for clothes and find meaningful, one-of-a-kind gifts for loved ones (and let’s be honest, for myself too!).

They also carry an incredible range of high-quality supplements and wellness products — literally everything I could ever want, all in one place. I always feel like my mind, body, and soul get a little boost just walking through the aisles.

And don’t even get me started on the café. The food is not just healthy — it’s delicious. Nourishing, vibrant, and clearly made with care. You leave feeling full, but also energized and light. And the staff? Genuinely some of the friendliest people I’ve ever met. You can feel their joy and authenticity — it makes the whole experience even more special.

Golden Temple is more than a store or a café. It’s a haven. A heart-centered, beautifully curated space that reminds you how good life can feel when you surround yourself with the right energy, the right people, and the right nourishment.

If you’re ever in or near Birmingham, GO. You won’t regret it. You might even find yourself making special trips, just like we do. ?”

“This is an ideal local health store. Its good to have this around so you can go and chat with an herbalist about needs you have and natural options rather than using some pharmaceutical option. I recommend it to those in a surrounding area of Pelham, Hoover, Helena, and Alabaster.”

“I'll be back. They have a nice selection. I went there for clean grass fed protein( Transparent Labs and Naked Whey). I was surprised of the choices of known brands, plant based, and the new hotness. This didn't have the naked but they pretty much had everything else. I will be back to try to other brands before I commit to a new protein powder. Good customer and friendly . They make you feel welcomed.”

“Yesterday, Monday, July 8th, I went to General Nutrition Center (GNC), GNC 06140, 3036 Healthy Way, Vestavia Hills, AL 35243, for Triflex Soft Chewables. The two young men who helped me were so nice, and they were so knowledgeable too. The store was very clean, the products were just what I was looking for. Gordon, (don't know other guy's name ), were very pleasant, and did not make me feel if ignorant for having questions about fitness products. Believe me, I have been in enough fitness product stores to know how it feels to get the eye-roll, the chuckle, etc, just because I asked what they thought was a silly question. GNC has my business forevermore. God bless! Mark N Tim Elders”

“I went in today to get a pre workout and an appetite suppressant and the staff was so professional, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful! I recommend you go to this store, especially if you need help finding a product that works for you..”
