Does anyone know where one can find good quality vitamins, herbs in Gwangju, Busan, or Daejeon?

I am interested in the various brands one normally finds in health/natural food stores, coops in the U.S. ... or is anyone else successful in ordering online and having them delivered okay?

Thanks for any information.

www.maxpowershop.com

It's in Korean, but it has a lot of supplements etc and many or most are from the US. And shipped from the US as well.

If you go to Costco you can find vitamins. There is no Costco in Busan as of yet, but there is one in Deajeon. I am not sure when exactly the Costco is going to be built in Busan. I have ordered different supplements on-line before. It's a piece of cake. Or, ask someone you know in Seoul or Deajeon to go to Costco and pick something for you and mail it to you.

There are also GNC's around if you know where to look. In Gwangju, there's one in the underground shopping center between Sinsaegae & E-Mart by the bus station.

Most E-Marts and Shinsegaes have a GNC stall, at prices several times what you'd pay at GNC back home.

A few kinds of vitamins, like Centrum, are available at pharmacies at high prices.

There's also a supplement section at Lotte dept. store in Seomyeon, Busan. It's probably expensive, but might have things Emart, homeplus, etc. don't.
