7 Lights goal is to offer our customers state of the art nutritional supplements made with the highest quality ingredients, finest care, and contain potency levels that we know will work. With disease so prevalent and an estimated 60% of the population taking at least one pharmaceutical drug every day for a medically diagnosed health condition, there is no middle ground for products that don't meet these challenging demands.
Coming from the North? Take South Tamiami Trail South and make a right onto Stickney Point Rd - keep to the left. Make the first left onto Avenue A. We are on the right. For customers looking for an alternative route turn at Gulf Gate Drive into the Fifth Third Bank parking lot to cut through to Avenue A. Take a right towards Stickney Point Rd.

This is a great nutrition shop with everything you could want. Great products and great prices. I do all of my nutrition shopping here. They even have gluten free and special foods products available in the refrigerated section. I couldn't be happier with the owner the staff and the products that I brought here. I recommend it to all my friends.

Just stopped in the location for work (I take surveys for a living and was hired to ask a few questions at the location for a company that was hoping to get their products in the store). I had never been there before and was really excited to find it. I buy supplements regularly and would much rather support a local shop than buying online, so I was actually thrilled to find such an adorable store. I spoke to Bonnie at the front counter and am honestly appalled at her attitude and tone towards me. She berated me for wearing a mask (which I am required to do for my job) and was very aggressive with

We are always happy to patron here! We love the friendly and extremely knowledgable service as well as the amazing variety. Today Padmini and Melanie greeted us. We wandered all the aisles finding our favorite Dr. Brommers soap, supplements, essential oils and gluten free desserts. You simply cannot go wrong in this nutritional wellness mecca. A hidden gem! Definitely come here and support this local business. We will be back for the epic Himalayan salt foot dome. Must have!

Been coming here for 5 years, found this vitamin store by accident when my wife and I were exploring Seista Keys and Sarasota. I've only had one bad experience in the past 5 years. I strongly recommend shopping at this store. They are very wise and know there vitamins and herbs. They will go extra mile to help you understand how the vitamins or herbs that your looking for will help you.

Several years I've been struggling w/Health issues, foods have declined in nutritional values, so I've learned the importance of a great nutritional center. It's been a few years ever since the 1st time I visited SPECIAL NUTRITION. Since then have no reason to go anywhere else to shop for Nutritional supplements. Even big cities, in USA, Europe, South America, can not even compare in price value and service. The monthly 'CHECK UP' or was it 'YOUR NUTRITION NEEDS' where outside lab for $50 bucks, take blood sample in front of you and shows & explains your needs. THIS is amazing service tells you

After trying several health supplement stores in the area, I am so happy to have found this one! The owner Louise and her staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. Her prices are the best I've found and I have saved 50% versus shopping online for the same high quality. Please support this gem as this is the type of small business we need more of.

I went to Special Nutrition when I was planning a trip to a third world country and wanted a natural "remedy" in case of food poisoning of any type. Louise, the owner, was amazingly knowledgeable and helpful. They have many brands that she has vetted -- she knew about the manufacturers, specifics about some of the plants, and the backgrounds of the lower priced supplements -- some which were lines by more expensive brands.
They carry several professional lines, and offer discounts on those. They also have "10% off" days on the first Wed and Thurs of each month. If you

Shocked they don't have 100's of reviews, I've been chasing good nutrition for past 50 yrs of my life & this place is by far the finest family owned & operated store with amazing prices. They carry quality goods they do testing of blood every couple of months fills up fast worth it to know whats needed & whats not. The staff is Knowledgeable had to call one of the staff to learn about an item on his day off, he was pleasant when he called me back. So even on day's off the staff have interest in your health & do best they can to help, service with a smile &

I'm surprised this place doesn't have more reviews. I've frequented it twice, and I must say, I like it better than Professional Supplement Center across town. I didn't expect to find a product by my favorite line of supplements, Pure Encapsulations, to be discounted like it was. That's a professional line of products that never sees a price reduction. The staff was helpful in locating what I needed on the shelves. As a first time customer, I received a goodie bag full of cosmetic, and other product samples. I enjoyed it very much, who does that ? Thanks guys. I would say

I was drowning in a pool of fear based compliance, weighted by ignorance, tethered by prescription drugs. Louise, of Special Nutrition, tossed me a life preserver and offered me some relief in the way of a different approach; one where the side effects are health and healing. That day Louise did something that neither my Doctor nor pharmacist did. She spoke compassionately to me about the purpose of the drug that I had recently been prescribed. Louise described its side effects, its detrimental long term use and explained why it was nearly impossible to ever wean off of this drug
