UK Specific Supplements & Food
-
It always seems a little harder to find quality supplements in the UK so this thread might help some of us stuck on this island.
Here are a few I've found and been impressed with:
Vitamin E. Full spectrum of mixed tocopherols and tocoretinols in an extra virgin olive oil tablet.
Glycine powder. Nothing added, made in Germany.
Vitamin D + K2 MK4. Super hard to find good MK4 here. This is a thorne brand supplement in MCT oil.
USP Grade Methylene blue. I've not tried this myself as I'm still cautious of MB but this is USP grade and very cheap.

Very nice
I use Premier Research D3, Haidut's K2 , Regency Organics makes good superpure DMSO, Cynoplus & Cynomel through farmaciasdelnino, Hexeal Magensium Chloride, Magnesium Hydroxide can be mixed with carbonated water to create a potant Mg Bicarbonate tonic, Jarrow Formulas theanine, flowers of sulpher, Athrovite Equi Gel Collagen Hydroslate (it's sold for horses but it seems pure & dirt cheap) masa from mexgrocer, Stoats sell flour without mandated additives.
The only good OJ I've found here is sometimes Morrison's fresh squeeze but a lot of the time it's shite, clementine juice from Tesco is always ok. Lots of good finds in Costco, cheeses, french jams, californian dates... Skyr I find to be the least acidic yoghurt, fresh oysters from Waitrose, Sainsbury's organic mink is the best tasting but Tesco's isn't bad, Cocio choccy mink...
Currently looking for a source for reasonably priced, authentic olive oil and pure aspirin.

Oh yeah and Azithromycin, Doxycycline, Acetazolamide and other prescription medicines can be aquired through online pharmacies like DrFox by filling out a quick form, they don't even check with your GP.

Aldi's grana padano is a ridiculous steal, it's incredibly cheap and rather tasty
Innocent orange juice I have found to be the most consistent that I can find in a number of different shops
Non-halal British-sourced beef gelatin I typically buy from ebay
Riverford and other fruit and vegetable delivery companies usually have reasonable prices on organic fruit, I get a couple kilos of good apples for £7
Aspirin I can only find in stores at Sainsbury's, which uses magnesium silicate as filler along with potato starch and lactose, I figure the negative effect are outweighed by the aspirin since I'm not inhaling it but I'd like to find a better sourceGenerally the quality and cost of food in this country is one of the more redeeming features of living here.

@Atlas Tesco also has great grano padano under their own name brand. Their brie is also really nice.
I'd also like to find a cheap source of aspirin without any nonsense added, although to be honest I don't feel any issues with the supermarket stuff.

Lads I advise getting a cheap flight to Eastern Europe and buy boxes of Bayer’s Aspirin there. Nothing in the UK is any good.
As for OJ, I’ve found that in winter batches vary week by week. Waitrose box of clementines/tangerines are on sale often and always ripe, much more reliable. Their freshly squeezed OJ is expensive but sweet most of the time- you can also see the condiments fall to the bottom, which Peat said is a sign of fresh oranges that don’t have Citric acid added.

I've bought Aniprin P, pure 'multi-species' aspirin, from eBay a couple of times now. Ships from America, arrives quickly though, with shipping included it's ~£25-30 iirc. I haven't properly done the maths but think it works out slightly cheaper per gram than buy it from boots or whatever. I mostly get it for convenience and no fillers. I think the boots and Waitrose aspirin have the least additives though. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/193968271785

@SneedyPeat Ive been spending way to much on the Waitrose freshly squeezed orange juice, defo my go to now. Bottle of that and a red bull is peaty crack
-
@jhp "multi species" on the label is hilarious. No customs issues?
-
@Spud_consumer no customs issues, I've ordered three times now
-
The Balance Body and Mind Shop sells a bunch of peaty supplements and progest-e. I buy my progest-e there since it's easier than getting it direct from the states:

Does anyone know a reasonably priced sulphur soap in the UK?
-
anyone found good sources for NDT?
-
you aren't getting that in the UK nor will you be able to import it. More than likely you will have to get somebody say in the US to take the shipment, then ship that to you. That's what i had to do anyways. I bought Haidut's Tyromax once and that did make it through customs(it was crap though IMHO), but most vendors in Europe and the US will not ship NDT to the UK
I agree with the other guy though..the quality of supplements in the UK is pretty much trash sans a few companies here and there. Most of them wont even supply CAS reports when asked for them, despite making claims about third party lab tests..all bullshit and the FSA doesn't care as long as they aren't making drug claims. Because of that i tend to just buy things from outside the UK. Nootropics Depot cannot be beaten on quality anywhere in the world for most supplements(they don't sell NDT though) for everything else i do my homework and shop around, but almost none of it comes from within the UK

That's what i buy. Never had an issue with it and i've been taking it for over 2 years.

What is the best way to get cytomel/cynoplus in UK? Ship from mexico? Does anyone have experience with tiromel?
-
Any recommendations on low excipient magnesium glycinate tablets? I don't want powder because the smell and taste is abominable.
