Guest :-) Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I think it's cheaper when you buy more, I was looking at buying at the Blackmores brand for my mother. It's call "Joint Formula".NTUC Pharmacy selling 240 tables for about $120 so should be about the price you paid for.Was talking to the sales person at GNC the other day and she told me some have sodium which is no good for people with High Blood Pressure so the best is check with the doctor first.

Guest Health Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 I realized my clique of 30-40ish year old male and female colleagues are all popping health supplements. I seem to be "under" consuming and everyone had recommendations.I am only take Glucosamin from Guardian. Recently saw the Sheep Placenta, Maduka Honey threads here. I wonder what other supplements BW man take and find effective. Price you spend on it. marysenter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Do consider incorporating a general multivitamin and fish oil capsules into your diet. If you're concerned about external beauty, maybe you could consider Meiji amino collagen or sheep placenta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marineboy Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 IF you eat well....balanced diet. No need any suppliments. However most don't and have bad eating habits.It's really your choice, There is a huge market out there eyeing your wallet :yuk:I am most afraid of getting a stroke ..you life can take a complete swing after it happens as i have witnessed it happenig to others.So make sure you BP is ok.....some exercise n eat in moderation.Glucosamine if your joints are not too well works for me.Some fish oil....to keep the arteries more flexible and not harden up and get clogged. My simple cost effective approach so far.Like my doc would say....you want the end point of your life to be short and not prolonged with illness with medication.Your Lifestyle your choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Online is cheap but you have get them from trusted retailers.

Manbane Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 can try bodybuilding.com. alternatively, there are quite a few local online stores that sell mass gainers too. Just dont buy from GNC unless there is birthday discount. they mark up more than 150% i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guesty Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 For the threadstarter, I did some research on your behalf.Bad news first - Singapore-based online retailers such as Nutritionpark and Nutrifirst do not carry "Serious Mass" by Optimum Nutrition.Good news - bodybuilding.com carries Serious Mass and they do ship this item to Singapore.To answer your question on shipping, bodybuilding.com does ship most items to Singapore except where they are not allowed to do so, eg. the newly reformulated Hydroxycut Hardcore Elite.

Guest Guest Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 but too bad theshipping cost is higher than the product itself, think i need to figure another way... but thanks for the info anyway !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guesty Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 I've ordered from bodybuilding.com a few times before. Yes, the shipping cost is heavy due to the weight of the item (this will be a factor for heavy items like whey protein and mass gainers), but I calculated and realised that even after factoring in the shipping cost, the item can usually be about S$10 to S$20+ cheaper than from GNC even at GNC's sale.Another option may be to sign up with Singpost's Vpost USA service and have your bodybuilding.com product delivered to there. The shipping rate may be more economical.For mass gainer, you need not necessarily take Optimum Nutrition. You may wish to check out Nutrifirst's in-house brand, it is more economical.

rhonl Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 used to buy them online. a few examples are nutrifirst, nutritionpark, nutriforefront etc. go google them up and see which provides the most bang for your buck. if you prefer storefront retailers, im currently buying from holland & barrett. switched from online retailers because h&b is having this 30% supplement discount storewide. stacking it with member discount/vouchers, it becomes pretty cheap and has saved me quite abit of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hey thanks for all of your comments. Actually my friends had been buying his supplement from Malaysia website, it's way cheaper than the ones in the website here. He is working in kl so have no problem, but for me who holding a student pass, I'm afraid I'll get taxed if I just bring the supplement crossing checkpoint. Does anybody know wats the value of goods for a student pass holder to bring across custom and without getting taxed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 another site is iherb.com.their products are more expensive than bodybuilding.com but their international shipping costs are much cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 I saw some items in vitacost cheaper than at iherbs. Still, iherbs is better because it provides free shipping to Singapore via singpost for above US$80 purchase whereas vitacost will charge for international shipping. After factoring in shipping cost, iherbs is still better. BW81, will items ever get lost if via singpost? For a start i am ordering US$20+ where they provide free shippiing within US, and then i tongpang my friend to bring back for me. Can still use your referral code if shipment is within US? I can't chalk up US$80 as i already purchased quite a lot from CVS (tongpang people bring back). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CuriousBoy Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hello all, Just wondering if anyone is taking any men's health supplements e.g. tongka ali, maca or catuaba? Beside the libido boost, are they really effective to boost energy level?Also read that it is good for burning fats and building lean muscles but possible side effects include increased aggressiveness, insomnia and face blush. Suitable for mid-20s guys or too early to start? or are they even safe in the first place? If not safe, any other safe substitutes with similar effects? Appreciate if anyone with experiences can share?  Thanks in advance.

BW81 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 supplements are not medicine but will work if u complement them w diet and exercise. i take EGCG, L-Carnitine, Fish Oil and i think they help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rauls Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Have been taking supplements as of lately, OMEGA-3, MultiVitamins, Kinohitmitsu. Was wondering your opinions on taking health supplements at a young age? And also, are there any vitamins that can like increase metabolism and burn calories? I would love to incorporate them in my diet as I am exercising more now. Thanks <3 Belated Happy New Year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azimuth Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 You seem to be taking quite a bit of supplement already. The best way to increase your metabolism would probably be to modify your exercise to burn more each time even after you are well rested.

marysenter Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 surely, This is one of the best supplements for knee joints. This fatty acid is a part of cartilage and other components of the joints. Glucosamine helps rebuild the bones and prevent cartilage wear and tear. It also prevents inflammation of the joints and adjoining muscles. but you can consider about:Â Vitamin C is an anti-oxidizing agent that helps protect connective tissues like the ligaments, tendons, and skin, not to mention the bones and joints. Vitamin C helps make collagen which is important for the flexibility of muscles and blood vessels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Understood? Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 On 1/11/2021 at 7:49 PM, Guest Health said: What is the one health supplement that you swear by it? When you are teen, better start taking vit c. When you head into 20s and consume too much inflammatory fast food, kick in omega 3. In your 30s multi vitamin should be added at this age of slow body metabolism. In your 40s it will be targetted supplement for heart, hair, cholesterol ...etc. in your 50 prostate health supplement, vit k and D supplement, collagen food, guts supplement, ..etc depending on your need and budget . All this should continue until your doctor say stop if it affect your clinical medications. They are prevention , not cure. Hope it helps. As for what best suited you, go iherb to read buyers review and spend more time doing YouTube research. Every body is different so take supplement as added protection and not for miracles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
