about us

Are you looking for recommended health food shops in Colchester? The Natural Health Shop has built an exceptional reputation for its huge range of health food supplements, natural health care, restricted diet foods and sports nutrition.

Colchester’s independent health and beauty shop...

Located on Sir Isaac’s Walk in the heart of Colchester, The Natural Health Shop is the town’s longest established family run, independent health and beauty shop.

For the past 25 years, The Natural Food Shop has been stocking an extensive range of health products, vitamins, natural hair and body care and whole foods. One of the store’s very first customers was Celia Parker-Wilson, who was looking for a remedy for her morning sickness. She and her husband John have always had an interest in natural health products and they soon became regular customers.

In 2005, nearly two decades after she first stepped inside, Celia and John took over the store, turning a passion into a career and expanding the range of offer. Dedicated to actively researching new developments in the health industry, they have attended numerous training programmes and source on the finest, purest, chemical-free products possible. 

Honest, impartial advice

Renowned for its friendly and knowledgeable staff, The Natural Health Shop has become the heart of the community; as John explains, “We are always available if customers want to pick our brains and ask us about our product range, natural alternatives or just general advice. We are always honest and impartial, making sure that the products we recommend are suitable for your symptoms, lifestyle and pocket. Our aim is that our knowledge will help our customers make an informed choice that’s right for them.”
