not sure where you're coming from but there's a decent amount of international food in the grocery store (subway level) of AK Plaza, at Seohyeon Station, in Bundang (yellow line). Also, I got some protein powder from Costco... its basic, but good, and a good price. Just tell a taxi drive "Yangjai e-mah-tuh (E-Mart)" and they'll take you to costco.

One more option:
If you do live close to Mokdong station (line 5) then there is a small sports nutrition shop a few minutes walk away: Leave the station via Exit 3, walk straight down, just before the next big intersection you'll see the store on your right (it's next to a Yumsem Kimbap place.

PS: i echo some of the others: the protein they have at costco (or at least when i went) was below par. I ended up giving half of mine away.

I ordered off iHerb and it took over a week to come. However it was relatively cheap and I'm pretty happy with the choice and the product.

Aah! again, I'd say "Costco" is the answer! Have seen loads of Protein shake there. Just need to take membership.

I've heard that all the Costco brand protein's are cheap...but they 'costco' brands and they are just a basic whey, and they do not taste good or mix very well either.

The powder is TERRIBLE! I had to chug half a bottle of hershy's syrup to make it even worth any time. And they have weight gainer, which is just as bad.

Better off using healthkoreaus.com

As far as healthy and non-processed goes, I've been making Banana and Spinach yogurt smoothies recently. Super simple to make and super delicious. (you don't taste the spinach either).

These are the powders and bars I just bought. The powder is good and I haven't had a bar yet.

The 2main sites are mass119.com and healthkoreaus.com. In terms of price, healthkorea is your best bet if you are just looking for simple products like whey and creatine and If you are not too fussy on brands. If you are looking for specifics in terms of supplements like Chromium, Vandyl, prohormones etc or the not so common brands then mass119 is the place to go

Staying in shape or getting in shape can be a real drag, but I just discovered an online supplement store that will deliver what you need to take care of your protein, amino acids, fish oil, etc. needs.

This website, bodybuilding.com, will send supplements to Korea for a rather expensive cost: $60 - 100 USD

But, if Kimchi and vegetables just aren't putting the essential nutrients in your body, then it's well worth the investment.

Please feel free to share any other convenient or less costly places to shop!

dsob · « **Reply #93 on:** May 23, 2011, 06:27:07 PM »

I got mine at iherb.com. There delivery is cheap and they have a good selection of products. First order, you can get $5 off by using the referral coupon.

thepeoplestrust · « **Reply #94 on:** May 23, 2011, 06:49:52 PM »

These two places are really cheap and ship products over from the US. I've mainly used speedns and the service was great.

The site work best on IE and are in Korean but with a bit of luck you can find your way around. A Korean might be essential if you wish to order!

I've ordered protein powder and multivitamin from iherb for a low price and with around a 5 day wait time. It makes me very happy!

You can also go to Namdaemun market if you need some other supplements. I've seen Deer horn antler powder, acai, gloucasamine, DHEA, vitamins and fish oil. Don't think I'd go near any of those supps except for the fish oil and vitamins though.

I found a site where you can order grocery items to South Korea for the flat rate shipping price of just $4.00, a little more if it's over 3 pounds but even then it's still super cheap compared to other sites.

Check it out: http://www.iherb.com/

They sell all different spices, baking aids, coffee, sweeteners, rice, cereals, almond butter, jams, chips, crackers, soup and gluten free foods. Huge selection of protein powder, protein bars & supplements. They also sell tons of different vitamins, home and beauty products as well. Basically any non perishable grocery item you would find in a Whole Foods type of grocery store back home.

You can use this Discount Code: KUJ012 and get $5.00 off your first order. It works for first time customers only. No minimum purchase.

Don't forget to take a look at their free products and samples before you check out.

Also, if there is anything you want them to start selling on their site you can go to their facebook page and make a suggestion here:

https://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=76133747003&topic=14705

I've made a few suggestions that have actually been met. Popchips being one of them. Also, the Peanut Butter & Co products and the peanut flour. Abby, the lady who operates the iHerb facebook page will inform you via email when they have brought in the item that you've requested.

Anyone looking for the real Sriracha sauce with the rooster label, you can find it at iHerb as well. See here:

How much does your shipping usually come out to? I have in my shopping cart about 9 lbs (2 protein powders/1 bcaa) and it says shipping is $17? Also, can you shop iherb with online banking or do they only take credit card? Because that seems to be the only option during checkout, and I didn't bring my credit cards with me.

Does anyone know of any of these "Diet Doctors" in Gwangju? I'm a little shy about going to a regular diet about my weight because I get enough attention from random old ladies on the street pointing at my belly and giggling :-/
