These were very popular with the daigou shoppers last year so we are a bit overstocked.

Chlorophyll is "the green pigment that plants rely on to absorb sunlight and derive energy. Its molecular structure is remarkably similar to human haemoglobin; this means it increases and strengthens red blood cells which results in better transportation of oxygen. It is also a powerful antioxidant, and can rid your body of toxins, reduce inflammation, restore pH balance in the body, and potentially lower your chances of developing certain types of cancer." according to http://yourzenlife.com/why-i-drink-chlorophyll-every-morning…

Also available is the Spearmint flavour:

We still have plenty of the Swisse Ultiboost High Strength Cranberry 25,000mg 30 Caps for $4.95 each which is RRP $23.95 (they are $13.39 at Chemist Warehouse).
http://blackshawsroadpharmacy.com.au/index.php?rt=product/pr…

It's $5 flat postage for the Chlorophylls no matter how many you order. Same with the Swisse Cranberry too.
Otherwise it's free click and collect at our store:

    The only truth in the quote is regarding plants.

    Plenty of veggies around here, but no plants.

    What a pity pharmacists who spend 4 or 5yrs studying science & medicine at university to then start selling unscientific snake oil to their customers. Proft before People seems to be the pharmacy motto these days.

      and then moan about the AMA demurring at the suggestion they be given a legal right to diagnose for, then prescribe, the products they are selling ` as we study science too'.

          "because you think its not scientifically valid"
          I don't think it is not, I happen to be constrained by a tertiary education in the biological and behavioral sciences that included discovering and studying exactly what scientific validity' represents and signifies. Have a free clue - anything that starts out with proven to' has already offered enough information to ascertain that it doesn't qualify.

          Thats your opinion.

          Just because you claim to have an education in the biological and behavioural sciences means you can be better than the TGA?

          If its so bad, go to the TGA rather than a bargain site and use your so called expertise to expose this "fraud". if you are truly concerned.

          Like the abuse you say these people are doing with this product. You also are abusing the system here.

          Using your health "logic" I could vote down, posts on , Sugared soft drink products , high carb Pizza's, beer wine and so much more.

          How anyone with biological science background could promote cup cakes (even free) is astounding 😀

      Yeah, frankly that is the truth of the industry. Pharmacies used to be small businesses with owner's licence and reputation at stake.
      Since the PBS price cuts hit, and deep discounters like Chemist Warehouse (now Australia's 5th biggest retailer?) came on the scene, people
      come into pharmacies expecting these products to be stocked. Unfortunately if you want to keep paying rent and hold onto staff most are
      selling products with very little scientific evidence.

        Sorry, way off topic, but IMHO Phamarcists should be going hard to re-position themselves. They should be pushing the Govt to be able to have registered nurses onsite who can issue repeat prescriptions (for things like the pill, blood pressure, etc), sick certs, asthma plans, etc. it'll make them more relevent again.

        I have no problems with complementray medicene per se, but ,many of the claims are outrageous, which professionals like pharmacists know, so pharmacists shouldn't be stocking products with this questionable claims. I appreciate that consumers my want these products, but pharmacists stocking these products give them legitimacy that they don't deserve. I see it as no different to sporting bodies accepting & promoting sports betting industry. It's short term gain, but in the long run it ruins the sport.

        anyway i'll end my rant.

        • Store RepBlackshawsRdPharmacy @ Blackshaws Road Pharmacy on 05/06/2017 - 09:30

          I agree, and in our small pharmacy we are trying to focus on what services we can provide (including BP monitoring, sick certificates, diabetes care etc.) we have a consulting room for a nurse and other allied health professionals to use too.

          Although, it is worth noting that there is definitely a divergence of business models in the industry. The Chemist Warehouse down the road from us probably does about 10 times our turnover selling perfumes, vitamins and other complementary products. One of their biggest stores generates about $40M to $50M per year in revenue. In those types of pharmacies, they have very little incentive to ditch the pseudoscience and refocus on professional services.

    "Vitamin and supplement giant Swisse has asked the federal government to end its direct oversight of advertising rules for Australia's $4 billion complementary medicine market in favour of a system of self-regulation.

    In a submission to the federal budget process, Swisse asked to end oversight of advertising claims by the Therapeutic Goods Administration, saying its controls for pharmaceuticals were not consistent with the public health risks associated with its range of supplements and vitamin products, and that pre-market assessments are burdensome and damage competition."

        • terrys on 05/06/2017 - 07:36

          @supabrudda: In this they are right - "best before" is a signal that the taste, colour or texture [et cet] may have deteriorated in ~ 5% of the product. "Use by" means that 5% will be dodgy and unsuitable for consumption, even as a 'food supplement", the fig leaf this crew use to try and drive a bus through the therapeutic drugs act…

          An example would be Milk powder - which comes with a 'best by" date, and infant formula, which contains added oil based vitamins A, D and E which, being oil based, are subject to rancidity and comes with a specific 'use by' date. A general safe rule of thumb is that a product is generally safe for 6 months after a 'best by', as fact surely dear to the heart of many of the Ozbargain fraternity.

          The one thing in this crew favour is that they do their best to avoid poisoning people, usually by selling products like this over-rated concentrated spinach stock - minus any vitamins and cognate micro-nutrients that could prove problematic in concentrated form.

      In regards to the chlorophyll being useless, there actually is some evidence for benefits and even for harm. :\
