Have been looking all of the place (well in beomgyae anyway) but nobody seems to have heard about it. I have heard that it is expensive but any suggestions?

yes,

it is TOO EXPENSIVE/RIDICULOUS in South Korea - one can get it at a GNC but they want to charge you about 80,000 for something that costs about $8 in the U.S. at any coop/natural food market

they had it at a GNC in the basement of the Shinsegae Department Store in Gwangju

the best thing to do would be to have someone from overseas send it to you

South Koreans don't seem to know anything about it - I had to explain it to many knowledgeable people/pharmacists


about milk thistle (as you probably know - it is good for your liver - cleanses it)

well, I have been using it quite a while - first used in Myanmar(Burma) - it is common use for the people there and you can get it easily - they have bad livers from using bad oils - and also from hepatitis, etc. - so one can purchase it CHEAPLY at pharmacies - not a big deal

then when I returned to the U.S. I saw it was easy and cheap to obtain at natural food coops and vitamin stores

but SK was a problem

good luck

Been on the piss a bit too much buddy? LoL! I had a huge bottle of the stuff shipped to me from the states because it worked out much cheaper.
