I dont think there is a huge community buying from iherb. Many do source from local pharmacy. Those who are internet shopping savvy buys online.
Pretty much 90% of my friends and relatives still buys from local pharma!

Any good omega 3, probiotics and multi vitamins to suggest?

Sports research omega 3. Carlson very finest liquid fish oil.
Dr ohira probiotics.

no more free shipping and need to pay RM22 for shipping. Only skynet shipping to malaysia

blackmore, swisse, biolife not good?
cheap can get from local pharma.

Expensive per mg.
Very low amount of required omega 3. May seems cheap but if you count per mg, it's more expensive buying your local brand Vs sports research or Carlson.
No IFOS certification. Very important. IFOS tell you if the oil you are taking us rancid, pass the purity test. If you are not tested, manufacturer can just claim anything.

Old but still relevant some more in Australia and New Zealand

are u saying there is no locally registered fish oil supplements that are IFOS certified?

Form my research last time yes. That' is correct. The only one I heard that have IFOS is pristine and that is Ethyl ester form. You want fish oil in triglyceride form (more stable and easier to absorb).

That is one example of why iherb is superior to our local pharmacy.
Cheaper and higher quality fish oil.

is that the one where some MLM fella put the oil on styrofoam to see if it melts it?

No. Nothing to do with that. Ethyl ester are cheaper to produce and able to increase concentration but goes bad faster and less absorbed.

All fish oil companies extract the fish oil in triglyceride form(original form) then change it to Ethyl ester. Majority leave it there as finish product but you want better absorption and longer shelf life need to change it back to triglyceride form. The extra step is costly. That's why not many companies want to do the extra step by converting it back to triglyceride form.

Still can only access on phone app? No website access?

Use VPN or change DNS.

Yes, no more free shipping if exceed certain amount, shipping seems to be RM22 via Skynet only, no more GDEX or DHL (not that I had any problem with Skynet)

From my experience on previous orders, DHL seems to be faster compared to others, but then I'm also not hard pressed on timing, janji hantar! hahahaha

DHL always have issue with pharmacy dept. Don't know why.

It figure out all it need to do is to pay the extra tax now

Maybe coz their broker didn't pay *ahem ahem*

Good to know...hope skynet does it efficiently.

Will be making an order soon...lets see

made an order on 13 mar and arrived on 18 mar

Just checking, Was it inclusive of Shipping or paid extra ?

Thank you.
