Where do you shop for health foods and supplements?

I moved from Canada to the UK last fall and I'm still trying to figure out the best place to shop for stuff like protein powder, apple cider vinegar, mct oil etc.

I shop occasionally at Holland and Barrett, but I find them really expensive. I've also ordered from Goodness Direct a few times.

Does anyone else purchase their supplements online, and if so... which site do you use?

    I don't buy supplements, but have you tried tesco and asda? I'm not sure how the prices compare but I've seen protein powder in tesco and I know you can get apple cider vinegar (350ml) for a £1 in asda.

    I use Zipvit for vitamin type supplements and MyProtein for sports nutrition. :)

    Some people I work with order from MyProtein... they seem to have a pretty big range of products.
    I am very curious about their MCT powder. I've never seen MCTs in powdered form before.

    I wouldn't have thought of Tesco for protein powder but I'll have to check it out next time I'm there.

    I have tried all different websites and ALWAYS go to myprotien.com. They have a fantastic selection and some great pricesto suit all budgets . Their delivery time is second to none and there is always discount codes on line. I never buy off the shelf as they are so expensive. Holland and Barrett is ridiculously expensive.
    Ps. I don't work for myprotien.com ha ha,I just think there products are great.

    Lol! Good to know... :D

    I almost fell over the first time I walked into a Holland and Barrett and saw their prices. I've heard good things about MyProtein... any flavours you'd recommend?

    For protein powders I use The Protein Works or Bulk Powders - both very good value and have a great range and flavours.

    I'm part of a whole foods cooperative (Suma wholefoods) where I can get a lot of food items and specialty products (like ACV) cheap. If you have a group of likeminded friends in your area you can group together to start up a co-op.

    Otherwise, for speciality items I'll buy online from wherever is offering the best deal at that time, e.g. Amazon, Goodness Direct, etc.
