Thanks for the info, I just looked at iHerb and downloaded the app to my iPhone, it looks genuine and is giving 20% off for the first order so I will order a large batch of supplements plus I can pay in Baht.

 

I tried twice to order a large batch from Amazon UK but the package was turned back at Heathrow Airport so I suppose they can not be shipped by the regular route.

I've ordered 2X from iHerb, and good customer service, and decent pricing.  Products I order, I was unfamiliar with, so now have something to compare with, when I order locally, less expensive.

 

If order from LAXMALL vendor, and suspect item is fake (compared to iHerb product) than I can return, no questions asked.

Great, is it a fact the products from iHerb are made in the USA or at least to USA standards?

Thanks for that.

Yes I do know that iHerb exists, but my post was about WHY Thailand severely restricts the local sale of Melatonin (it appears that, from other posters, even some online suppliers will not handle it to Thailand )

 

I think someone partially answered this by saying that its deemed a "party rape" drug!!

Melatonin ??? Really ??

 

The "drug" I take is a "party drug" sometimes, it is available at every street corner shop in Thailand,  it is called "a load of beer". 😄

Agreed, but after 60 years (not counting childhood) I've enjoyed copious volumes af the amber fluid, but now the quacks have warned me off ANY alcohol on the fear of death (heart, liver etc, the usual suspects ).

 

I'm just weighing up, at 75, is it worth the depravation for (possibly ) a couple more years alive ~ but not "living" !!

That is what I think about sometimes. (69 this year).

 

But then again we never know what is going to happen, if we just suddenly die a couple of years earlier but have had a good time up to then, no problem, but if boozing causes us to have a few years of illness and a very poor quality of life that is another thing.

 

I will think about it tonight as I "sup" a few beers. 😃
