Where to buy vitamins in Chile?

All,

With the uptick in Covid cases, my wife and I were looking at places to buy vitamins. We have not had a lot of luck finding vitamin D3 in the local pharmacies. Do you all recommend a place online or in-person to buy? Would you trust buying from Mercado Libre Costco branded vitamins?

Thanks

D3 has suddenly gotten popular, but took everyone a year or so to figure it out.

Right, and I was looking at Costco online you can buy 600 capsules of 2000 IU strength for 9 dollars. In Chile everything I have found is a lot more expensive.

I buy my vitamins in my local Salcobrand. Never had a problem.

I think the point that's being discussed is that D3 vitamin pills cost USD $0.42 per <SPAM WORD> in Chile and $0.015 per <SPAM WORD> in the USA. So they're available, but they're very expensive here.

oh, quick tip for real forum users, you need to put a space in "p harmacy" due to the spam for little blue pills.

I have lived in South America so long I take the win some/lose some attitude. Some things are cheaper, some more expensive. If someone is coming from the US or Europe I might ask for something but otherwise I just buy local.

Nothing wrong with MercadoLibre given a vendor with good reputation, real quality photos and description of product, and who answers your pre purchase questions. These purchases are in the gray area as Minsal idiots place it in the category of a hormone type drug depending...

Forumites used to recommend iherb.com. Are they out of the picture now?
