When it comes to my patients' wellness journeys, I am often asked about the best places to buy supplements, and my answer is always the same: Fullscript.
In my blog post on The Importance of High-Quality Supplements, I discussed how Fullscript’s extensive vetting process ensures they only carry the highest-quality brands. This is crucial because cheap, low-quality supplements are never a good investment in your health. Today, I want to dive into three other reasons I recommend Fullscript—all of which revolve around an excellent customer experience.
Free Shipping & Fast Delivery
One of the biggest perks of using Fullscript is their shipping policy. All orders over $50 get free shipping. Fifty dollars isn't much, making it easy to qualify. What's even better is their shipping times, which are very comparable to Amazon—often arriving in just one to three days. You get your supplements quickly without extra costs.
The Auto-Refill Option
Have you ever run out of a supplement and missed a few doses while waiting for a new order to arrive? Fullscript’s auto-refill option solves this problem. This feature ensures you never miss a dose, whether it's a supplement I’ve recommended through my ready-made protocols or one you take on your own. You can easily select which products you want to be shipped and how often—every few months, weekly, or whatever fits your needs. This makes managing your supplements a breeze, so you're never caught without them.
The Incredible Fullscript App
As someone who isn't super techy, I was genuinely blown away by the Fullscript app. It's incredibly user-friendly and helps you easily manage all your supplements and medications in one place. You can even add products you buy from other retailers, like a local pharmacy, to keep everything organized.
My favorite features of the app
Easy Entry: You can quickly add supplements or medications by typing in the name (including brand or generic names) or by using the amazing barcode scanner. I just scanned my ProOmega® 2000-D by Nordic Naturals, and it popped right up—no typing needed!
Protocol Access: If you're a patient of mine or have accessed any of our protocols (like our Lactation Support or Getting Pregnant in Your 40s Protocol), you can review all instructions and adjust dosing schedules directly from the app.
Simple Ordering: You can browse the entire Fullscript catalog, place new orders, and even set up auto-ship right within the app.
Order Tracking: You can track your orders from the moment you place them until they arrive at your door, so you're always in the loop.
Reminder Alerts: This is a game-changer. The app lets you set reminders so you’ll never forget to take your supplements at the right time—whether it’s with breakfast or at bedtime. My husband, in particular, loves this feature!

Steps For A Personalized Wellness Plan

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy high-quality supplements?
My top recommendation is Fullscript, as they have a rigorous vetting process to ensure they only carry professional-grade, high-quality brands.The supplement industry is not as heavily regulated as the pharmaceutical industry, so choosing a trusted source is key.
Do I need a script to order supplements through Fullscript?
No, you do not need a prescription to order supplements from Fullscript. It is a professional-grade online dispensary that allows you to purchase supplements without a prescription.
What is the difference between cheap and more expensive supplements?
The difference often lies in the quality of ingredients, potency, purity, and bioavailability. Cheaper supplements may use lower-quality raw materials, contain fillers, or have a form of the nutrient that your body can't absorb well. More expensive supplements from professional brands typically undergo third-party testing to verify their contents and potency, ensuring you get exactly what's on the label in a form your body can actually use. This is why they are a much better investment in your health.
How do I get 10% off my first order?
When you set up your Fullscript account with Simplicity Health Associates, you will automatically receive 10% off your first order.
