In another thread I was reading, someone posted something about Chlorella. I went to a couple of the local pharmacies and the cheapest I could find was W90,000 for a small bottle. But even crappy vitamins in this little town I live in are W30,000. Can anyone me where to get some for a reasonable price? Vitamins and maybe some Myoplex as well, maybe? Probably in Seoul, I assume. Can anyone help?

"..............Chlorella is primarily protein and amino acids, with plenty of minerals, vitamins, chlorophyll and polyunsaturated fatty acids. There is more nutritional bang for the buck in chlorella and spirulina than any food. It is not a supplement but a whole food.

Chlorella and spirulina are available in the major import markets. I recently bought a bottle of Japanese chlorella for 17000 won..........."

Nam Dae Moon is cheap. Dong Inchon is cheaper.


Can you name some in particular or where they'd be located in Namdeamun? Where in Dong Incheon!??

Costco has it. And they also have inferior Korean chlorella.

Yeah, because, you know, Japan produces 'chlorophyte', which is far superior than the Korean 'green algea'. Rolling Eyes

It actually took me a second to realize that you were not talking about cholera.

I have been visiting this shop for my health food etc. shipping is about W5000 from the states to hear, tax is an additional 2.5% or something like that, but overall, the prices are on par with health food stores within the states as well as their internet counterparts.

Here's some of the Japanese stuff.

and for spirulina

If you are interested in supporting a group that puts a lot of work into stopping the restrictions placed on various entheogens as well trying to keep various healthy herbs etc available to the public here is a great shop to keep in mind. Shipping is bit more, as to be expected. a 2kg(?) box was about W40,000 S/H.

No, I am not a troll, I honestly did buy things from them on multiple occasions and like the style of their business.

They are wasting their money. Chlorella is taken for its high content in chlorophyll (which is believed to be an anti-oxidant (I won't get into whether there are measurable benefits in taking high doses of anti-oxidants). Whether the algae is grown in a vat in Japan or Korea won't have a significant difference on the concentration (they both taste equally awful, anyways). Besides, since the Korean product is cheaper, they can afford to increase the dosage.

PS. Chlorophyte=green algae.
