| There's a place in Gyeongnidan (google maps: 경리단) near Noksapyeong station that sell it, but I don't think it's cheap. |

Don't buy it at GNC. It's about 3-4x more expensive for a 5LB Jug than the price in the States.
I bought some online from Gmarket for cheap but it tastes terrible. Whatever you do, don't buy "Final Whey" |

Don't buy protein powder here.
A - It's 5x expensive
B - It's diluted. Local brands are cut down with rice flower.
Order from bodybuilding.com You can get a 10lb jug for 40 bucks. Throw in some creatine for weight gain and the shipping cost will even out. |

There are many websites in Korea from which you can buy reasonably priced protein.
http://maxpowershop.net
http://www.speedns.co.kr
http://www.mass119.com/
Anyway, biggest selection:
1. mass119
2. speedns
3. maxpowershop
Payment by bank transfer only: speedns (the paradox is that speedns apart from this flaw is the most well organised website of the three).
Shipping cost is 10,000 won. |

Most of the brands on the websites I have listed above are foreign. The websites I have listed above are more expensive than bodybuilding.com but I think that if you add in the cost of shipping it works out a similar price. I'm not sure about bodybuilding.com but as for the sites listed above you will get your stuff within a week.

I've been using the Weider whey from Costco and it works well for me.
If anyone knows any bad info on this brand then post it here. |

| Weider always works out as expensive but then again, im used to paying UK prices, Ive been buying creatine and protein Optimum Nutrition brand stuff from Mass119 because it works out cheapest, 10lb bag for 90,000 won isnt too bad. Considering I brought some off a korean company when I first arrived, 95,000 won for around 5lbs |
