With so many vitamin and supplement suppliers on the web, it can be a challenge
to figure out which site is the best. Whether you have a particular product in
mind or are just browsing for top-rated picks, there are many websites for all
of your vitamin and supplement needs. Choosing a reliable online retailer with
high-quality supplements, dependable shipping, and affordable prices is
essential.


REVIEWED & APPROVED

Amazon is our top pick, offering access to a massive variety of brands at
competitive prices with quick delivery times. The Vitamin Shoppe is a great
option if you are looking to consult with a dietitian to address your individual
needs and supplement questions.

“When shopping for a supplement, it is important to know what your body needs
and the appropriate amount to meet your individual needs. You should read the
label of supplements to avoid hidden ingredients that promise health benefits
that can't be delivered,” says Jodie Horton, MD, FACOG, clinical assistant
professor at Georgetown University Medical and Chief Wellness Advisor at Love
Wellness. When reviewing the best places to buy supplements, we paid close
attention to the brands available at each retailer, pricing and subscription
models, cost and speed of shipping and returns, customer service, and more.

Here are the top sites to purchase all of your vitamins and supplements.

AMAZON

Amazon

View On Amazon
Pros

 * Quick delivery

 * Ability to subscribe and save

 * Free shipping for Prime members

Cons

 * Have to pay attention to what store the supplements come from within Amazon

When it comes to vitamins, Amazon is a go-to for access to a massive variety of
brands at competitive prices. Plus, if you're a Prime member, you get fast, free
shipping and exclusive deals. It's easy to track your packages online, and
customer service is very responsive if you have any issues with your order. If
you have a particular vitamin that you take regularly, you can sign up for
Subscribe & Save delivery, selecting the quantity and schedule that works for
you so that you never run out.

Many vitamin brands have their own store on Amazon that ensures you're getting
the supplement directly from the manufacturer and not a third-party seller. For
example, if you take a Centrum multivitamin, check out the Centrum Amazon store.

While you should always follow your health care provider's recommendations for
vitamins and supplements, the consumer reviews on Amazon are incredibly helpful
in learning more about other people's experience with products, product
packaging, and other questions.




WALMART


View On Walmart
Pros

If you're looking for a one-stop-shop for all your grocery, household, and

carries well-known brands such as Nordic Naturals, Renew Life, and Navitas
Organics, as well as other high-quality products at affordable prices.

With various packaging options such as best value two-packs, Walmart offers
budget-friendly deals for those looking to stock up and save on their favorite
supplements. The superstore also makes accessing your vitamins easy with NextDay
shipping and free same-day pick-up.

As an added benefit to one-stop shopping, customers can use their Health Savings
Accounts and Flexible Spending Accounts benefits to purchase select items.


WHAT EXPERTS SAY

"When looking for the best website to purchase vitamins, consumers should first
determine that the brand they are searching for is reputable and has positive
data on U.S. Pharmacopeia and Consumer Lab. Next, the consumer should ensure
that the distributor they are buying from is the supplement maker or a licensed
seller, not a third-party entity."—Kristin Kirkpatrick, MS, RDN

trusted brands such as Jarrow Formulas, Garden of Life, Megafood, and New
Chapter.

FINAL VERDICT

Amazon is our top choice for the best places to buy vitamins online because of
its wide variety of brands, affordable prices, and dependable shipping. If you
prefer to order online and pick up in-store, we recommend Walmart.


HOW WE SELECT SUPPLEMENTS

Our team works hard to be transparent about why we recommend certain
supplements; you can read more about our dietary supplement methodology here. 

We support supplements that are evidence-based and rooted in science. We value
certain product attributes that we find to be associated with the highest
quality products. We prioritize products that are third-party tested and
certified by one of three independent, third party certifiers: USP, NSF, or
ConsumerLab.

It's important to note that the FDA does not review dietary supplements for
safety and effectiveness before they go to market. Our team of experts has
created a detailed, science-backed methodology to choose the supplements we
recommend.


WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN AN ONLINE VITAMIN RETAILER


TRANSPARENCY


When it comes to shopping for supplements, prioritize transparency, not just
with individual products but with supplement stores. Shoppers should be able to
inquire about product storage and handling practices with direct answers to
questions. Stores should be transparent about the sourcing of products and be
able to answer questions about a product’s efficacy. 


VITAMIN BRANDS


Choose a reliable website that offers the brand of vitamins that you prefer. If
you're not sure which vitamin brand to purchase, many sites carry a variety of
brands based on which vitamin you're looking to buy. For example, you can search
for a non-GMO, organic vitamin C supplement, then select a brand at a price that
works for your budget. As with all vitamins, always speak with your health care
practitioner before adding a supplement to your routine.


PRICE


Vitamin prices vary from site to site. When shopping for an online vitamin
retailer, select a site that offers the best price. If you're looking for a
one-time purchase, almost any website will work; however, if you're looking to
reorder a vitamin every month, a subscription model may be more affordable.


PRODUCT TURNOVER


Look for a site that has a high turnover of products so that you can rest
assured you're getting the freshest, highest-quality vitamins available.


SHIPPING & PICK-UP


Many sites offer free shipping or in-store pick-up. Consider how soon you need
the vitamin and shipping costs when deciding which website to use. A pick-up
option may be the quickest, most affordable method for some consumers; however,
some may prefer the convenience of delivery directly to your doorstep.


RETURN POLICY


Be sure to check out the website's return policy in case you receive a broken
vitamin bottle or decide you no longer need the product. Some sites offer full
refunds in the mail or in-store, whereas others have limited supplement return
options.


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 * Is it safe to order vitamins online?
   
   If purchasing from well-known establishments, it is generally considered safe
   to order vitamins online. It is wise to first do research when choosing a
   place to purchase vitamins from. As a consumer, it is important to know what
   must appear on a supplement label. According to the FDA, there are five
   statements that are required to appear on a label: the statement of identity
   (name of the dietary supplement), the net quantity of contents statement
   (amount of the dietary supplement), the nutrition labeling, the ingredient
   list, and the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or
   distributor.1 If any of the above is missing, return the vitamin supplement. 

   
 * How can you tell if supplements are fake?
   
   The unfortunate answer to this question is that you might not be able to tell
   if a supplement is fake. In some instances, it may be obvious. For example,
   if you are deficient in a vitamin and after taking the vitamin supplement
   your lab values do not change, you should question the authenticity of the
   supplement. However, other times the answer might not be so clear. If you
   have taken a vitamin before with no side effects and suddenly you experience
   unwanted side effects, it might indicate something counterfeit. In addition,
   if the name and place of the manufacturer are missing from the vitamin
   bottle, it might indicate foul play.

   
 * Do vitamins expire?
   
   Vitamins do not expire in the same way food does. You will not see mold grow
   on vitamins that are kept past the expiration date. However, the potency of
   the vitamin may degrade over time. The FDA does not require supplement
   companies to put an expiration date on their bottles, so any time you see a
   "use by" or "expiration" date it has been added voluntarily.2
   

   
 * At what age should you start taking vitamins?
   
   This varies from person to person. Higher risk groups may need to supplement
   earlier than others. For example, adolescents with heavy menstrual bleeding,3
   young vegans or vegetarians, or children with deficiencies or malabsorption
   issues may benefit from taking supplements from a younger age. For healthy
   individuals that eat an adequate and varied diet, vitamin supplementation may
   never be necessary. As always, work with your healthcare provider to
   determine if and when supplementation is right for you.
