@wester130 To be used sublingually then? I remember reading this form getting converted to thiamine HCl in the stomach.
Also UK is not EU source -
It gets convrted back to normal thiamine?? okay, maybe it's not great
-

-

@CO3 said in Help with EU Sources:
trying this vitamin E: https://www.farmaciasdirect.eu/products/nutralie-vitamin-e-complex-with-tocotrienols-and-tocopherols-60-capsules
has mixed tocopherols, tocotrienols and regular Alpha-D_tocopherol. only concern is that it is mostly the latter. nothing alarming in the additives. just glycerine.
tocovit is too expensive.
@CO3 Sorry i should have linked the post i was referring to. farmaciasdirect is the website i mean, cypro is what im interested, but the problem is that the french pharmacy linked earlier in this thread no longer ship it without prescription.
So my question is: is farmaciasdirect legit?
And if yes how is the shipping? -
I wanna buy Progest-E again. I'm in Spain though and nothing gets through customs.
Does anyone have any experience shipping US to Spain with DHL Express (by far seemingly the safest option)? If it's Progest-E even better. I've had it shipped to other EU countries with DHL Express with no issue.
-
@kukukaka Oh I only ordered this one product. I thought the website is more like a typical supplement website and not an online pharmacy. I do not know if it'd get through shipping. I get cypro from https://www.soin-et-nature.com/fr/18415-periactine-4mg-30-comprimes.html

"This drug will no longer be available to order on our website from July 10, 2024, as from this date, its delivery will be conditional upon presentation of a medical prescription.

@CO3 Is Progest-E = progesterone? Maybe with some added Vitamin E?
If so, you’re kind of lucky living in Spain where Progesterone is available over the counter. Not like in the UK where I live currently.
My local GP refused to prescribe me Progesterone because I didn’t know the code words listed in the DHS Great Book of Drugs. Progesterone is only available for women “of a certain age” with hot flash symptoms and then only in combination with estrogen.
I went on holyday to Spain shortly after and bought a pack of Progesterone pills in the local pharmacy.
They didn’t have vitamin E, but back in the UK I found a hopefully good brand online.
So, for a month now, every day just before bedtime, I’ve been mixing and applying to my gums a pasta of Progesterone, Vitamin E powder, and coconut oil.

@kukukaka Oh, apologies for not checking the link first. Alright, well depending on where you are there should be different options. Since shipping within EU is easy and doesn't usually get checked by customs, any legit website selling cypro with EU-wide shipping should work. It seems to have changed in France and now it's not OTC there anymore.
I stocked up before this date while in a different EU country than France, and now in Spain it's available over the counter. So possibly a Spanish website? Have you tried this? https://www.farmaciasdirect.eu/products/periactin-4-mg-30-tablets

@Ena I might try this. I love Progest-E though.

The pills you bought, did you buy then at a pharmacy physcally? Also, was it bio-identical progesterone?

Is this even true? I've been searching for sources to buy (bioidentical) progesterone for like half an hour and half the sources I get are UK sources. Plus for many years now Progest-E has been sold on a UK website.
-
@CO3 Yes it is true.
I bought bioidentical progesterone at a physical pharmacy in Spain. I just went into the nearest regular farmacia.
Seidigestan - 30 capsules of 100 mg - €5.81
They are also available in 200 mg but are then, for some reason, more expensive per mg.
Unfortunately, the capsules are not separable, so I make a hole and squeeze out a little bit every day. I use one 100 mg capsule over 3 days.

@CO3 onasnatural?
forefronthealth?

-
@Ena how did you find out it's bio-identical? Thanks btw!

@Kafkaz Amazing, thanks!

@CO3 [about progesterone without prescription in Spain]
First of all, my British GP told me that bioidentical progesterone is called Utrogestan.
So, I simply brought a handwritten piece of paper to the Spanish pharmacy stating, in English as well Spanish, that I was looking for bioidentical progesterone similar to Utrogestan.
And they gave me Seidigestan.
Back home I checked on the Seid Lab homepage. They call it “natural progesterone” though, but I have googled a lot and found everywhere that Utrogestan and Seidigestan are similar.
The Spanish Drug Centre simply states the content as “progesterone”. They also state that the capsules are made from sunflower and soy. Sadly.
