Herbs and supplements? Vitamins? (Please don't write "I wanna."  We do say it that way, but please, in an English forum, write "I want to" or "I would like to.")

For pharmaceuticals, one would go to a pharmacy, or a drug store. Vorpar Joined on Tue, Sep 20 2005 Santa Barbara, CA Regular Member 940
