The Proffesional Supplement Center
Wide variety and more importantly high quality. If you buy cheap and do not get quality you risk wasting all money
I learned this lesson when I started on d3 and my doc kept testing levels Thst would not move and I switched to pharmacudicsl grade supplement and boom it immediately worked. Sure got my attention and I wonder how many supplements were worthless to my body and though they took my money. So frustrating

The most important thing is to get a good quality supplement, so follow what your LLMD suggests or research good brands.
Once you know what you want, vitacost and iherb , as Lymetoo suggests, carry many makes at good prices.

I like Amazon.com. When I've compared prices on large orders of pills, usually Amazon ends up to be cheaper than vitacost and herb, plus if you're a Prime member you get your stuff in 1 or 2 days.
The only annoying thing with Amazon is that they ship in tons of different boxes. An order of 20 bottles of pills might come in a dozen different boxes.

do u worry about getting fakes or defects or improperly stored pills from amazon (not when buying direct from amazon but through them off other people...i think some of the oeple r probaly running the bussiness from their house garage whatever)????

I agree, Azure, and I usually only buy direct from Amazon.
Also, I don't buy the probiotics from Amazon, because I don't know how they store them.
Do either vitacost or iherb state how they store their probiotics?

you can always ask them. i know vitacost customer service is awesome. friendly helpful always (been using them for years)
i get my probiotics from lucky vitamin lately. some probotics they will stick an ice pack with. i pay to add ice and then i 2nd day. they are just one state over from me so it gets here next day and it is not super expensive.
I am completely homebound I cant step a foot outside the door but i have been told that this summer has been wicked crazy hot so i am extra careful with the probiotics.
i am also trying a couple probiotics from swanson which r supposed to be heatstable but they r really just back up.
at luckyvitamin they even have a chat customer serviceso u can usually get answers to ur questions real quick.

Thanks for the answers, Azure. I am so sorry that you are stuck at home like that. May God help you to get better soon.
I've used luckyvitamin in the past, but what I didn't like about them is that they took a long time to get the products to me, and also their "out of stock" notices aren't in real-time. Many times I would order a product, and then I would get an email a week later saying that the product I ordered was out of stock. Why didn't the website tell me at the time that it was out of stock?
That was a year or two ago, so maybe they improved in that area.

You have to compare prices between Vitacost and Amazon. Sometimes, Amazon isn't the cheapest. I do like the Vitacost brand on a lot of supplements and they are usually cheaper than the brand names on Amazon.
I also buy supplements at the Dr. D'Adamo site. Not inexpensive but really work. I use their probiotics and have done extremely well with them.

Does anybody ship faster than Amazon Prime? The only way they could beat it, I would imagine, is if they have warehouses all over the country.

I have had good luck with Swanson's. They have a buy one get one free on some items. I like to read the honest customer reviews before purchasing. Also, they carry NOW products that I use a lot of and often from40-50% off. They have specials that I find out about in their newsletters. Some codes for free shipping etc... I love that they are from my birth state of North Dakota and are located in Fargo where my aunt lives.
