greygoose, I so wish I agreed. Sadly, there are no end of products on Amazon which are not as they might appear.

This link is, unfortunately, to a USA newspaper's website - but they have an excellent reputation for their consumer affairs coverage:

Ah. I guess I've just been lucky, then. :(

Many of us have been fine, but I am quite sure that care has been a significant factor in my avoiding issues.

I'd also point out that a huge number of products in the supplements, food and associated areas are listed without even the legally required information. Like all standard allergens identified in bold or whatever.

Further, a photo of a label is absolutely NOT acceptable. All information should be in text form for reasons of accessibility - screen readers can't cope with text in images.

Amazon do pay people to write reviews too

And if not Amazon, many marketplace sellers...

Yes. Often they even mix up the products in the review section. 🙄

Thee are many brands of B Complex which contain methylfolate. I usually get my Thorne Basic B from Amazon if the price is right. Last time iherb was cheaper. I wouldn't normally use them but they had a free shipping offer on so it worked out a better deal.

They still have free shipping to the UK if you spend over £29.79:

uk.iherb.com/shipping

Thorne Basic B is £17.82

uk.iherb.com/pr/thorne-rese...

2 bottles = £35.64 plus VAT paid at their end £7.12 - Total £42.77

Use Hermes for shipping and it's free. and because VAT is paid when you order there are no extras to pay when it is delivered.

Currently on AmazonUK at £26.62 per bottle

amazon.co.uk/Thorne-Researc...

This ebay seller is based in the UK but charges £35.35 per bottle

ebay.co.uk/itm/292855170257

So at the moment iherb comes out cheapest if you don't mind waiting a few extra days, mine arrived within a week.

When I used selenium I used Cytoplan as it's a very small tablet with odour (some selenium supplements have an unpleasant odour):

The natural dispensary are great but I believe you need a practitioner to refer you in to be able to use it but once you have an account, you can use it from then on.

in reply toCG12345

Thank you I'll take a look
