iHerb is one of the most reliable, cheap, lot of choices online pharmacy! Many supplements also not available locally and if available, is a lot more expensive, I saw some offering same thing, like 3x the price! Crazy!

Omega 3 Fish Oil - NOW

Lutein + Zeaxanthin - Sports Research

any suggestions ?

Just buy directly from the company and use a forwarder to ship to Malaysia. Sometimes could be cheaper than iherb cause iherb do jack up the price. Last time iherb was cheap.

So many forwarder that can ship to Malaysia.

How? The company wont even ship to oversea, only in US.

So ask the company to ship to a forwarder in US and then the forwarder ship to me? I have to go to custom to clear import tax etc?
*
Yes. Forwarder have warehouse in the US. So you ship to the forwarder address, they ship to you in Malaysia. The courier usually settle all the tax and customs for you.

You might need to pay the courier the taxes for the courier to release the item to you.

So many to choose.

Pure thera. Bulk supplement. Do not age. Both bulk supplement and donotage ship to Malaysia.

Use forwarders for those that don't ship directly to Malaysia.

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

QUOTE(Lurker @ Mar 13 2025, 02:04 PM)
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.

Should I swap from Nordic naturals? U recommended this previously

If you got money, stick with Nordic. If you are poor like me go for sports research or calson very finest liquid for even more cost savings. Carlson very finest liquid is very cost economical Vs sports research softgels.

QUOTE(prophetjul @ Jun 23 2025, 05:40 PM)
Do you mean buying from iHerb or direct?
I bought about Rm1k of supplements. Too much?
*
Too much. If you are buying only 1 product like from do not age which can cost few thousands, it's ok la

Yes I bought from do not age but unused forwarder I didn't use do no age own shipping.

I bought one product but three pieces.
Is this Do not age product under iHerb site? Or did you buy direct from their site?
Are you implying that if you buy 1 item costing Usd500, it can pass through customs? No duty?
*
Do not age do not sell on any website. They only sell on their own website. They specialise in longevity supplements. They refuse to sell on other platform so that there will not be any fakes or copy cat.

I try not to buy more than RM500 via iherb or vitacost. For those I am using forwarder like from do not age, I just buy 1 product, it went througj. It cost like 1k+?

First time discovering iHerb. Looking to buy magnesium glycinate to help with calming nerves and sleeping. Lac got sell but I think itโ€™s pricier. Plus I can get more pills on iHerb at the same price as what Lac is selling. Is it really trustworthy? I never buy supplements online and always go to local pharmacy to buy so abit wary about it ๐Ÿ˜…
*
Don't buy from local pharmacy. Expensive, small quantity Vs buying from US directly. I use pure thera magnesium. I try to not have stearate in my supplements.

If you want bulk can consider bulk supplement or peak supps.

Iherb is trustworthy. Use to be cheap. Not anymore.

QUOTE(prophetjul @ Jun 24 2025, 01:04 PM)
How do you do that? Does their site allow you to use your own forwarder?
*
Of course. All shopping site allowance you to use your own forwarder or use their shipping service. Exceptional is vitacost.

I just sign up with buyandship and they give me some address to use. I use UK address as I think donotage is based in UK. Bought during black Friday sales for extra 20% discount, ship it to the buyandship UK address then pay buyandship to ship it to me.

QUOTE(Leto @ Jun 24 2025, 01:36 PM)
when u guys say iherb, you guys mean purchasing from iherb.com?
or is it they have a store in local online platform like lazada or shopee
*
Iherb.com.
Do not buy from shopee or lazada. Those are just people buying from iherb and selling it for 2x the price on iherb to make some profit.
