Our Recommended Dietary Supplements

Our Recommended Dietary Supplements

Hello everyone,

 For thirty years I have been lecturing in the field of supplements and treating myself and others with their help. One of my services has always been finding the very best supplements from all over the world. It used to be difficult to obtain them - a lot of hassle with customs and such. How great that today it is simple....  

Disclosure: Since it is a lot of work to go through all the supplements in the world and choose the best ones - we used to buy and sell them for more to justify it. Today we found a simpler way that will not cost you more - we refer you as affiliates of the store and therefore receive a few cents from the store for each purchase you make (and you receive a nice discount as a bonus!).

We will be happy to help personally if you need a product that does not yet appear here

1.So far Iherb has proven itself to be much cheaper and better service then other sources!

2. The selection in Iherb is huge. Huge, and we do the filtering for you. What could be better? We divided the file (very large and growing every day...) into sections so that it would be easy for you to find what you need, and in each section,  For almost every supplement, we found several examples, so you have a choice, and even if something is exactly out of stock, you have a good alternative. I suggest using search for what you are looking for, either by supplement name or by section, and scrolling to find it.

3. [K] = Kosher [V] = Vegeterian [Veg] = Vegan

In any case - if you didn't find something you need? Talk to us! 

Sincerely, 

Chen and Shani Profesorsky Naturopathy and Chinese Medicine
