Health Arena

i am in awwwww with this little but packed with awesome «goodies» store !!! the owners are so amazing and knowledgable on everything and give you their attention and time and advice.
we are so fortunateto have a store like this in our community.
thank you health arena :-))))

I was so surprised that I have never noticed this place. Roni one of the owners I found very helpful gave me space to look around was very knowledgeable about the product they carry. This is my new go to place for oils, vitamins and supplements. Nice organic selection great brands.

First I called the store to find out about a certain product, and the guy had 3 other interactions going on. He gave me the address and when I arrived I wasn’t greeted at all. I walked around and found what I was looking for and asked if I could open the jar that clearly had the word «sample» printed on it. Instead of happily assisting me he stood at the register trying to scold me for wanting to open the jar and told me that I’d be surprised at how many people open products. That’s when I told him that the jar said sample, and unlike «others» I clearly read the word sample on the bottle. He refused to assist me and started a verbal altercation about how I’m not a Christian woman, which I replied to him that if he were a Christian man he would have just assisted me with no problem. I told him that I will not spend my money there at all and he continued arguing with me, telling me it was private property and I’m not allowed to take pictures of his storefront, which obviously needs a makeover! I will tell everyone in Killeen about my experience and put reviews wherever available! This is not acceptable! My true review is –0.

Officially one of the only places I can find within about 30 miles that sells nutritional yeast. After several phone calls to area businesses asking if they sell nutritional yeast, we were directed to Health Arena.
I’m floored more people here have no idea what nutritional yeast is, but was happy when a friendly voice answered the phone at Health Arena knew what I was looking for. I cruised over right away and was greeted by a couple friendly employees who are clearly very passionate about what they do. The store has TONS of products, vitamins, minerals, etc. I obviously only needed nutritional yeast. They had it in powdered or in flake form. Their prices are very competitive to what I’d pay in Southern California where these products are readily available everywhere.
If you are looking for any natural supplements (or nutritional yeast :-D), check them out.

Bought a Organic green tea there. The green tea said one thing on the front but in reality it was only 20% green tea. The rest was a filler of brown rice solids. Considering it specifically says NO FILLERS I thought I would alert the store. To date I have called 18 times. Most go to voice mail… with no voice mail, I will get a fax, or I will get hung up on… this is normally followed by me getting the fax. My guess they are trying to fax and then just hang up on you. This coupled with them not having most the stuff I am looking for, inability to keep things stocked when they do have it (for example in a box, and the lack of help in the store. I can say I will NEVER go there EVER again…

Great store, my family shops there for vitamins and the like. Regarding Joy’s issue with Xylitol and dogs, that issue is up to the owner of the dog to deal with. If an employee went through every possible scenario or warning he/​she could think of, it might take awhile and not be fair to other shoppers. Let the buyer beware.

Hours: M-​Sat 11 – 6. I was so happy to see many familiar natural beauty and food products that are easy to come by in my native Seattle. The owner was there and eager to answer my questions. While you’ll pay a premium for these items, it’s nice to support local businesses and most of these products aren’t available at bigger chains in the area. It’s awesome to have a place in the neighborhood where I can buy items the day I want to use them instead of waiting for shipping. Ill be back!

I am beyond happy that I found this place. It’s basically an oasis tucked away in the middle of Killeen. The owner is incredibly nice & helpful. For such a small space, every corner is utilized. There are supplements, soaps, lotions, books, as well as some bulk foods and specialty products that you can’t find anywhere else here, like coconut butter & flour. I will be shopping here ALL THE TIME! (:

Have shopped at Health Arena for years. Louis is very knowledgeable and helpful. They have always had everything we need and have recommended several less expensive products that were better quality.
Like this shop much better than the chain stores in the area.

For being a very small store, there were a lot of things here to choose from. They carry a lot of protein powders, herbs, alternate forms of pasta, grains, seasonings, vitamins, body products and more!
It is a little crammed and there are things sitting on floors, but that’s understandable since the shop is so small. There are no raw foods here, only packaged foods.
Unfortunately, it was very hot when I was in here. They said the A/​C normally works a little better. Not sure how hot is usually is but it was pretty warm.
The staff seemed friendly and helpful. My only complaint in that area is that they carry xylitol and when I told the clerk that maybe they could consider telling people that it’s toxic to dogs, his response was «Well, we don’t sell products for animals».
I explained that we used to use it in our coffee and the dog accidentally got into it and had anaphylaxis and we ended up with a $ 1400 vet bill and almost had a dead dog. I told him the vet explained that in recent years, they have discovered that the product is deadly in small dogs and can make a large dog sick. He said, «I’ve never heard of that» and then went on to tell me that it’s made from corn now, not birch (implying that it’s safe).
I dropped it and at the end of my transaction, he said, «thanks for letting me know, I’ll let our customers know». I can only assume he said this to patronize me and hope I would return.
I’ll still have to shop here since they appear to be the only decent place in town.
