In the course of managing dad's condition with cancer, supplementation seems inevitable.
As his pancreas is not fully functional, he needs to tak enzymes and probiotics to help in digestion.
His list of supplements include Bromelain, papain, pancreatin, CoQ10, Omega3, pcynogenol, transfer factor, Vitamin C, Liver balance plus, kidney rescue and Essiac tea. IT is A LOT. In the course of my purchasing, i find that the supplements cost a bomb in Singapore. They are cheaper when i order through USA. Check this out for example :-
Papain = S$90 vs USD 12.16 from http://www.iherb.com
Probiotics = S$55 vs USD26 from http://www.amazon.com
The list goes on. The issue maybe shipping. Some health stores in USA do not ship overseas.
i overcome this problem by creating an account with http://www.borderlinx.com.
This service is available to all citibank card holder. For most supplement store online, domestic shipping in USA is free. U just have to pay borderlinx to DHL the stuff over. Overall costs is still a lot cheaper.
Other online supplement store i frequent are :-
