I usually order from iherb and PureFormulas, bc the shipping is free, and they have a lot of Lyme stuff.

I'm not only looking for high quality, but also the best price!

I was ordering from amazon because they are much cheaper and I have free shipping with my prime membership, but I was told that there are scammers out there.

I have prime too, but I don't know if the products are that much cheaper on Amszon. I will have to compare. Margaret

vitacost.com has good prices on some things - can be a good place to get general nutritional supplements and some brands of herbs in capsules/tinctures.

Hey all,

Vitacost used to be a good site in terms of price and quality, but in the last few years, the prices have gone up.

Swanson's and Puritan's Pride are reasonable, but they don't have the "weird" stuff some of us need.

www.vitacost.com is definitely a great option, as well as www.pureformulas.com . A newer site, www.purevites.com looks pretty good too, and has a cool points system that I like a lot.

Suzanne I see you've posted twice today about purevites, is there a chance you work for them? Advertising is not allowed.

I jump around between Pureformulars, VitaCost, LuckyVitamin, and sometimes on Amazon. I look for sales on Doctors Best brand and double up. Starting to use more NOW brand items. No one site has all the supps I use.

For specialty tinctures I've gone to Woodland Essence. And just restarted taking Cryptolepis this time from Infuserve. They have a 15 ox bottle for $91 which beats 4 oz for $40 from woodland.

I also have used iherb and vitacost without a problem. I actually still use Amazon often and everything has seemed genuine and ok. I think if I was using something like a herbal tincture I would order from the company that makes it if possible. I was happy with the Misty Meadows Chronic Tonic, made just a few days before shipping.

I haven't had good success with Lucky Vitamin. They are incredibly inefficient and disorganized.

The others were fine.

I order from Amazon Prime as well. My LLMD had referred me to Jarrow for some of my supplements. I also order supplements from Ben Greenfield Fitness with great results.

You should consider your local pharmacy and healthfood store as well. You will usually find coupons for buy one-get one free and for % of regular price in your Sunday newspaper. The upside to this is that they have knowledgeable people (usually) working there that can be a valuable resource for you as well.

It is also good to buy local and support your local economy :-)
