Does anyone know of a nutrition store where I may buy muscle building supplements as creatine or glutamine? An online store is useful as well.

Shipping the stuff from US is very expensive. A local GNC would be great.
thanks

Korean websites will do you absolutely no good as you, as a foreigner, are not able to register with your ARC number, which you need to do before you can place an order or pay for it.

Refer to the following thread which discusses this problem exactly. Sign the petition therein as well.

I got a buddy who is opening an online supplement site within the next two months. PM me if you want me to let you know when it is up.
