Just curious, you think you are missing something in your diet? Why do you think this? Why not address it through food choices? Again, just curious. |

Yes, many pharmacies sell American vitamins, but they cost a small mint to the tune of 12 t0 20X more than back in the states at Walmart or Walgreens.
Go to Red Door in Itaewon for some One a Day mens or womens as an alternative to paying 120K won for a 90 pill bottle. |

You can also get a 400 count bottle of Kirkland Signature multivitamins at Costco for around 25,000. |

Most pharmacies sell "Centrum A ~ Zinc" for 20,000~30,000won (100 tabs)
or just go to homeplus - where they have the "vitamin section" - with USA companies such as GNC etc
not so hard really? |

| Costco is the chepaest place to buy your vitamins. So go to Costco, and with the money you didn't pay the local pharmacy or Emart, buy yourself a new car. Or go to the Emart or local pahrmacy and just buy the vitamins. |

| you can also get reasonable vitamins at the underground american market in Namdaemun Market. go out Exit 5 and turn right. walk for 3-5 minutes, and it's on the right hand side. there is a green colored arch with stairs leading down. the vitamins are in the main area by the stairs. |

| you can buy them online as well at iherb.com . They have a korean express post option which, i think, is a $10 flat rate for everything. I've used them a few times and it usually takes about a week to get here. |

| Someone in another post mentioned a place at dongdaemun stadium, like in a basement level of one of the major places, such as Doota. |

Just be sure to check the expiration date as many of these markets get items at closeout prices for that reason.
As others have said, Costco is the best place to buy vitamins, unless you want a special type then head to GNC (with plenty of cash). |
