Where Can We Buy Reliable & Affordable Supplements, Skincare, Essential Oils, Cosmetics, Organic Stuff...

Hi all,

I wanted to share a reliable and affordable place to buy for your supplements (Nordic Naturals, Sambucol, Garden of Life), food (natural and organic nuts, seeds, flour, herbs - Earth's Best, Gerber, Healthy Times, orgran, Munchkins), personal care (non-toxic and natural - Avalon, California baby, Palmer's, Earth's Best, Seven Generation, Earth Friendly Baby). I am a stay at home mum of 2 girls and have greatly benefited from the savings from buying from this place and wanted to share it with those who are on a tight budget and yet do not want to compromise their health.

A health professional recommended me to iHerb in 2010. This is a US site with a 16 years track record. One of the largest online retailer of supplements and natural products in the world, it carries over 600 brands and over 30,000 products. In addition, they also carry a wide variety of products suitable for sports, diet and weight loss, aromatherapy and even pet supplies.

It also has an excellent shipping and refund process. Just last week, I emailed their customer service to complain about a packet of coconut chips and the very next day, they refunded me the cost of the item to my credit card. They didn't even expect me to return the item. They also do a great job in packing and ensuring that your items are well protected from breakage and leakage. Every single glass bottle is protected in the solid cardboard casing. Bulk herb packets, flour, shampoos or other liquid bottles are all packed separately in individual zip lock bags to contain any possible leaks. Products are of high quality & fresh due to the high turnover. Expiry dates are listed on each and every product page. Not something you find on other such sites.

One of the most important difference from ordering from this online site (compared to other online sites) is cheap delivery. They just started to offer free of charge delivery 5 days ago if you choose the "Global Mail by DHL" shipping option. Besides, the items get delivered right to your doorstep. When you buy from the local stores, you have no idea how long the supplements and food have been sitting on the shelf. Rancid products is a total waste of our money, not to mention harmful to our bodies. I am a frequent customer of iHerb and have always received my items in perfect condition and they never make a single mistake with any of my orders.

If you have not heard of iHerb, I urge you to explore it and share with your friends and family members. I was amazed by how much I saved over the last 2 years. Easily more than 60% off retail prices. Some price comparisons of what I buy from iHerb & the prices in a local healthfood store:

Garden of Life, Primal Defense, Ultra, 90 Veggie Caps

iHerb – US$34.57

Vita*** – S$102.90

Nordic Naturals, Arctic Cod Liver Oil, Strawberry Taste, 8 fl oz (237 ml)

iHerb – US$21.21

Vita*** – S$89.90

Now Foods, Real Food, Certified Organic Raw Walnuts, Unsalted, 12 oz (340 g)

iHerb – US$8.85

Vita*** – S$20.00

Earth Friendly Products, Ultra Dishmate, Free & Clear, 25 fl oz (739 ml)

iHerb – US$3.56

Vita*** – S$8.80

I buy all my supplements for my family, organic food & baking supplies (herbs, sesame seeds, flaxseed, nuts, cereals, snacks, seaweed, flour), toxin-free personal care & household products (fluoride-free toothpaste, sunblocks, bodywash, shampoo, conditioner) organic skincare (aloe vera, serums), essential oils from here now. Many of which I could not afford if I buy locally.

Do register with them via this link to receive any promotion emails which they run occasionally. If you registered via this same link and make a purchase, iHerb will take US$10 off your first purchase if you spend $40 & above (US$5 off if below $40). Make sure you see this coupon code "YEN647" during checkout. Try to consolidate your order to hit US$60. This way you get another 5% off your total purchase. Also, don't forget to select your free sample. Each order is entitled to one. This morning as I logged into my iHerb account, it appears that they have just started to run a promo on FOC delivery for shipping via Global Mail by DHL!

I really hope this info is useful for some mummies. Wanted to end by sharing this 7 mins video on the use of toxic chemicals in our everyday personal care products, from lipstick to baby shampoo:

To health & beauty!

Yes, I also think iHerb is pretty good and there's a promo again.

shipping charge for Global Priority Mail to a flat $4; and are offering a further discount on our DHL Express shipping if your order total is $60 or more!

In addition, you will receive a minimum of 5% extra discount off your total order, after you sign in to your account, if your order is $60 or more.

BTW, the skincare I buy from there is pretty good. Bought eye cream and my facial therapist said the fine lines have lightened a bit. Hehe...

This i the eye cream I've ordered and used and am trying out another one right now.

Use my code VEW578 and get $10 off 1st order of $40 & up, or $5 off on smaller orders.

I've ought several times from there and love this site!!

This is a good article which I want to share with everyone when choosing supplements:

http://www.naturalnews.com/039638_toxins_ingredients_nutritional_supplements.html

"Would you eat iron filings and call it nutrition? The majority of people don't know that most of the cheap vitamins sold today are made with iron filings. "Scrap metal," almost.

The calcium found in cheap vitamins is often just ground-up seashells, and magnesium is often sold as cheap magnesium oxide which may be completely useless to your body's cells. If you're buying mineral supplements, you may be wasting your money unless the minerals are in the right form: Magnesium orotate or malate, for example."

iHerb has free delivery to SG now until 30 June 2013 so it' a god time to try out their products.

Use my code and VEW578 and get a further $10 off 1st order of $40 & up, or $5 off on smaller orders.
