 Posted: 03/12/03 - 11:44 Post subject: Your vitamin/supplement source
Without having to admit what kinds of supplements you take (if you want to admit to beeswax tablets, that's okay), where do you typically shop? Do you have one online store you've found to be best? Or are you a GNC or other mini-mall shoppe patron? Just curious.. I need to really do a price comparison excursion.

htttp://www.proteinfactory.com Excellent customer service (shipping is a little slow though, so order before you run out) and great prices. They do custom mixes for you too.

nutritionexpress.com is mine. By far the cheapest on line and their shipping is flat rate which is excellent.
A place not to far from me beats all of the prices but does not have all what I want.
The one thing I do not like about NE is they have no information on the products.
The best place for that is GNC.com or N101.com but their prices are too high

Nutrition Express Good prices, flat shipping rate, like 4.95.
N101.com Prices are pretty good, shipping is a little slow though.
I have a local place that I go to sometimes too, that beats GNC prices by a lot.

Guys, thanks for the links! I surfed those over and some others too. Then I braced myself for a visit to GNC. Amazingly, I snagged myself some closeout items at 75% off. As I understand, their policy is to mark down as expiration dates approach. I'm guessing in a high traffic store, these mark downs go on the first go round, but here there's not a lot of business, so I was able to find what I wanted on it's third markdown and still 3-months of shelf life left. What the heck, I'll consume it before expiring, so I'm a happy camper.

If there's a Vitamin World in your mall they are well worth the trip. Less hype than GNC and not as much pressure to sell the expensive stuff as to educate you about supplements. They have discount days the first Mon/Tues of every month, 30% off, plus good sales at other times.
