Natural Choices — Health Food, Organic Produce, Gluten Free, Vitamins, Supplements — Columbus, Bartholomew County, Indiana

Our Philosophy

“Let the customer lead”

I founded Natural Choices in 1996 with the philosophy of “let the customer lead.” We all intuitively know what’s best for our health–we just need to be exposed to the right information and have access to the right foods and products.

That’s why I try to be out on the floor as much as possible, helping customers get to know thing in the store they may not have noticed before. In addition, we’re constantly adding new items and learning new things.

Clean, green, and natural

I personally review and approve every product we put on the shelves. I do my best to select only products with clean, whole, all-natural ingredients. Organic is always a plus. I don’t like to see sugar where it’s not supposed to be, and I also avoid GMOs (genetically modified organisms). I think you’ll see the difference in the products we carry when you look at the labels.

Reduce, reuse, recycle–buy local, eat local

Although what you put into your body is extremely important, it’s also crucial to treat Mother Earth right while supporting our local economy.

The three master supplements

In general, I recommend my customers take a good multivitamin, an Omega 3 supplement, and a good antioxidant. I’m happy to introduce my favorite brands to those who are interested.

Community-focused

Natural Choices isn’t just about the individual shopper. We seek to create awareness in the Columbus community of healthful lifestyle choices and the importance of buying and and eating local. We hold regular events in which people can come together and learn how they can make a difference.

Supporting virtually every lifestyle

Omnivores, vegetarians, and vegans will all find themselves very much at home here. Those managing celiac disease or gluten allergies will find literally the best selection in the country of gluten-free products. When people come in, even if they’ve never eaten “health food” in the past, they usually discover something that makes a real difference in their lives.

I do my best to make Natural Choices a welcoming place. Please contact me personally if there’s anything I can do to improve your experience here!
