Carlosm Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I've been buying 'Centrum' multivitamins and 'Mega fish oil' capsules since i got here (10 years now) and have yet to find any cheaper. Yet they are way more expensive than in the UK. Thought about mail order from such as e-bay which i've done with many other things but last time i received my mail order i had to pay 'tax' on it of over 2000 baht. This would make ordering multi vitamins none viable, so, does anyone know any cheaper versions or a better way to get them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAS21 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 We have had quite a lot of vitamins from the UK. We use either of two methods. 1..get a friend to bring them when he visits 2..get a friend to purchase for you, then he posts them to you, usual cost is £5-£7. On the customs deceleration form he just puts medicine. Inside he puts a little note...try these hope it improves your health..good luck. I have never paid any tax and the packages have been open several times. Have you looked at Omega 3 capsules....you can google the differences.

crazydrummerpauly Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 (edited) Hi - here another great supplement fan - been taking multi-vits since the 80's and my hair is still black at 65 - obvious scientific proof ! I'm just a freak really. Another health+appearance obsession: I've been what they now call 'moisturizing' since i started to steal my wife's Nivea for the old face as early as 1968 - ahead of my time or what ! Right, to the topic - I use BIOVEA mail order for everything - pay fast with Paypal - and best of all, they post to Thailand from wherever they are FREE if the invoice total is over 29 quid - and I have never paid Tax on stuff coming into LOS through 2009 / 2010. Maybe it's something to do with their packaging, don't know. Anyway, don't know if live links work in here, but here's BIOVEA if they do >>> http://www.biovea.ne...45))/index.aspx I have no interest in the company, and can honestly recommend their service from my own long-term experience with them. Obviously, if the link fails, just Google : BIOVEA By the way, I've also bought Centrum in LOS and you are right, it IS over-priced.

moe666 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Centrium isn't the best way to get your vitamins. Better off to order and have sent to you individual vitamins that can be taken when approiate. Donot take calcium and magnesium together they will bind together and flush thru youe system. Take vitamin c seperate to get best effect and take all fat soluable vitamins togethere.Zinc will also bind with vit.c and cal. and mag. needs to be taken alone.
