Where does one get reasonably priced supplemental vitamins. My dr. has me on a course of

treatment wherein larger doses of vitamins are required. I generally go to CVS which has a good selection, but are there more reasonably priced sources?

depends on what you want, but you're going to get the best prices online.

I don't know what your present diet and medical condition are, but if you eat meat, you may want to consider going on a diet eating no meat or dairy--that is-- vegan.
If you read a book entitled 'The China Study' you may come to realize that by eating fresh fruit and vegetables you probably will not need vitamins, with the possible exception of B1 and D, depending on how much time you spend outside in the sun.

There are very few doctors who would even consider the possibility of suggesting eliminating meat from our diet.
Because if they did, people would stop getting so many diseases and would even recover from much of what ails them...especially certain cancers, Type I diabetes, osteoporosis, heart disease, etc.
Which would greatly lower doctors' income.

I wish you the best of luck, whatever route you take.

They almost always have the cheapest prices (and, believe me, that's a big factor for us!), they have a huge selection, and they're very, very reliable (orders placed by 1 p.m. -- and sometimes later -- are guaranteed to go out that day).

$10 off your first order of $30 or more. Anyone can use this coupon, BTW.

You can get a 6% rebate if you shop through MrRebates.com. This really works. I got a check for $30 for about a years worth of online shopping.

I have used all three, I always check Amazon first. Often they have the best prices and as a prime member, shipping is free. With a $25 purchase of items from Amazon, I believe, you can also get free shipping.
