Once again our readers were persuaded by the massive selection – more than 5,000 vitamins and supplements for nutrition and bodybuilding – and knowledgeable staff of Lindberg Nutrition.
The staff is noted for practicing what it preaches. That ethic is exemplified by staff member Gordon Santee, a 66-year-old power lifter with 79 world records, who maintains the general internal health of a decades-younger man.
The Lindberg stores have served Southern California – and sold products of their own highly regarded brand – for 64 years. Many products are sold well below other stores’ retail prices, and Lindberg offers an extensive, A-to-Z description of product ingredients on its website. -RF
