Does anyone have any recomendations on some inexpensive vitamin sites. I am also looking to get some injectable b vitams. Are they legal to order from a foreign pharmacy? Thanks, Jay

Inexpensive vitamins means cheap raw materials. You get what you pay for.

The scarry reality in vitamins is understanding manufacturing to sale ratios.

A pharmaceutical grade high quality formulation will likely be on a 3 to 1 ratio. This means it sells for three times what it costs to make it.

The minimum a product can air on TV for is a 5 to 1 ratio.

Most infomercial products are on an 8 to 1 or 10 to 1 ratio.

GNC averages a 10 to 1 or 12 to 1 mark up.

MLM (multi level marketing) products are usually made on a 20 to 1 ratio.

It always behooves the seller to use cheaper and cheaper ingredients. People have a "concept" of how much they think a vitamin product should cost. Hence, the seller is limited to what he can charge. He knows that he can't enhance his profit be selling the product for more... so he makes his money by buying cheaper.

If a guy can manufacture a product for $2 instead of $4... and he sells it to you for $20... he has probably just doubled his profit after the purchase of air time... all by selling you a crappier product.

This is why image is so important in the marketing of health products. A very few contract manufacturers make 95% of the health products sold in this country. One manufacturer that I know makes more than 3,000 different lines. All of the 3,000 products use cheap ass raw materials... but they are sold with expensive print adds, great catalogs, etc... that all create the "image" of quality.

The problem is the quality is rarely in the capsule. It's in the ad that sells you the product.

Puritan I bought two of everything on this page (all they would allow). They sent me three of some of it. Over fifty bottles of stuff for under forty-five bucks shipped. What do you think?

It's a solid company, know people that have ordered from it before. The catalog prices are good as far as catalog prices go, but shopping around the net is better. That's just a 1-time intro offer (or so it says on the page) per household, so you're not going to be getting prices like that all the time, its just to attract new customers. Still, it'd be worth making multiple orders, like 1 to your house, 1 to your parents, etc.

Look at some of those prices!
Flaxseed Oil Caps (1000mg) - 30 caps - $0.79
Coral Calcium (500mg) - 30 caps - $0.99
Zinc (50mg) - 100 tablets - $0.89

I have never bought anything from Puritan but ran across this deal. Still not bad for all the bros here to give these a try for cheap. And I usually buy most of my stuff @ Beyond a Century. Maybe not the best prices but they are right next (state) door to me. Cheers
