Cheaper? 5-htp

What do you think my chances are?

There is a fair chance of it arriving before the 13th. Mine took approx. 2 and a half weeks to arrive from Iherbi.com.
You never know what may happen though, you'll just have to wait and see. :)
 
Hey guys - I have found the cheapest 5-HTP price yet.
Go to www.healthy.co.nz - it's a NZ company called Ideal Health, and I bought a bottle of 60 (yes that's 60, not 30) tablets (50mg) for NZ $53.25 plus NZ $5 postage.
That equates to only around $50 Aus for the whole thing (the NZ dollar is less than Aus), and it arrived in less than a week.
Well worth looking at.
 
Just to update, due to strange reasons that I won't go into, the pills finally arrived on the 17th, and it was all good.
Pity it wasn't early enough to stave off an E-pression, but we all can't be winners hey?
Peace.
 
Strawberry_lovemuffin: I mentioned healthy.co.nz on the first page, and while I have been very happy with their service, you can hardly call them the cheapest source of 5-HTP. Look at **AJ**'s post - he got 8 times the amount of 5-HTP for twice the amount you spent.
 
Well, I'm going to try that vitacost link chupa chopped posted and I'll let y'all know of the progress....
excellent work ppl
:)
[edit]: just emailed them asking about shipping costs so we'll see what happenz...

Something that I thought you might all be interested in knowing about. Since being pregnant I have been reading a board for pregnant ladies and a lot of them actually get 5HTP in Australia through a product with a different name. It caught my attention when they were all having a hard time ordering it off the net then one of the mums pipes up and says I used to work for a company that distributes it in Australia. I am trying to find out where they get it but there is supposidly a supplier in every state of Australia!! I am waiting for an email back of one of the ladies and I will let you know what I discover!! :)
 
Interesting to see the larger cities don't seem to have 5-htp ..
i'm up in cairns nrth QLD and there is 5-HTP readily available ..
BTW, north queensland raves are best.
:P

It is illegal to sell 5-htp in Australia except for Queensland. Thats why you can find it in Queensland but not other states.
Its been mentioned in this thread about it being not being illegal only in Queensland.
 
well, the vitacost site quoted me $64 USD for shipping one bottle of 5htp to Australia. I wasn't sure if they were joking but said no thanks anyway.
looks like iherbi is the way 2 go....
 
I'm about to place an order... it's come down to 3 bottles of 60 caps 100mg from iherbi - $48 + $5 for shipping ---- or clubnatural - 4 bottles of 60 caps 100mg - $50 + $8 shipping
all are $us prices of course... ------ decisions decisions help please!
 
Daimo: Break it down to work out the best value...
iHerbi
Total cost = US$53.00
Total product = 3x 60x 100mg = 18,000mg (180 capsules).
Cost per 100mg (capsule) = US$0.29
ClubNatural
Total cost = US$64.00
Total product = 4x 60x 100mg = 24,000mg (240 capsules).
Cost per 100mg (capsule) = US$0.27
They're almost the same price, but the ClubNatural order is larger, meaning you have to send parcels through customs less often (assuming you use 5-HTP regularly), and you're better off by two whole shiny US-pennies per capsule.

I've just ordered 2 bottles of 120 x 100mg 5-htp ("Now" brand) from iherbi for US$48 + US$5 postage, which is the most cost-efficent. I did notice though to get this that I needed to do a search on the site for 5htp - clicking the hyperlinks on the site only gives you the bestsellers page. There's quite a few more options available here.
So Daimo if you haven't ordered yet this is the best I've seen - 240 100mg for $53 (vs $58 for Club Natural). And we've got the price per cap down to 22c - wh00t. :D
 
what i use:
http://www.americannutrition.com/Natures_Purest/natures_purest.htm
60 caps 5-htp 100mg at $12 = 0.20 cents / cap
180 caps of 300mg ALA at $30 = 0.166 cents / cap
and my fav product from there:
elite antioxidants 60 caps , serving size 2 caps
at only $20
seems expensive? yeah but every serving contain:
CoEnzyme Q-10 30 mg.,
Beta Carotene 25,000 iu.,
Vitamin C (non acidic) 500 mg.
Natural Vitamin E 400 iu.
Selenium 200 mcg.
Grape Seed Extract 100 mg.
Pine Bark Extract 100 mg.
Alpha Lipoic Acid 100 mg
very professional company and highly recommended.
 
I ordered some from americannutrition.com today so we'll see how long it will take.
Oh and bump.
