Protein Powder And Health Supplements: 7 Online Stores You May Like
This article was originally on GET.com at: Protein Powder And Health Supplements: 7 Online Stores You May Like
The demand for protein powder and health supplements in Singapore continues to rise as the population here becomes more fitness-conscious. Take a walk around the CBD and you'll see dozens of active people running around the scenic Marina Bay area or walking briskly to the gym for their after-work workout. Most of the time these health supplements do not come cheap, especially if they are not readily available in Singapore and have to be imported.
Instead of going to physical stores to get your health supplements, you can save time and even money by buying them online. Here, GET.com lists 7 online stores for protein powder and health supplements that people in Singapore may like.

iHerb is quite a household name here with people who frequently buy supplements.
The appeal of iHerb is goes beyond the fitness community; you can even find general health supplements such as multivitamins, probiotics, health food and products for baby on the site!
It seriously has a boggling amount of products featured and has garnered quite a few great reviews online. Although it is based in the US, supplement prices are considered cheaper than what you find in Singapore.
A great feature it has is the review section, which I find is quite helpful especially if you are trying out a new product for the first time.

It has established a distribution chain in countries like China, Myanmar, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Laos.
While the range of protein powder brands provided is a bit limited compared to their competitors, they have been actively rolling out promotions since they opened their shop earlier this year.
Their retail shop is also located in the central area at Raffles Place MRT, making it an easy stop for busy executives to buy their protein needs!

7. The Fitness Grocer

The Fitness Grocer is made for those who care about their overall nutrition and want to supplement it with functional food rather than just chugging protein.
Think protein chips, delicious protein bars, “muscle brownies”, high protein pancake mix and powdered peanut butter rather than just protein powder.
Personally, I felt that the products are more catered to those who want to substitute their current snacks with something a little healthier and higher in protein rather than go hardcore on the protein shakes.
It also caters to those looking for more creative ways to consume more protein – protein pancakes, anyone?
Delivery
Free delivery with minimum spend of $75 and $7 delivery charge for orders below $40.

Health Supplements Saving Tips
Most health supplements and protein powders have a pretty long shelf life, so if you buy them in bulk, you can save on shipping costs since most sites have a pretty high minimum order to get free shipping.
Another good way to save money on your purchases is by using a rewards credit card when shopping online. This type of credit card lets you earn cashback, points or other rewards on your purchases, which you can later redeem for discounts on other purchases, depending on the card.
Here are our picks of the 2 best cashback cards for online shopping.
One of the best cards for online shopping that doesn't just give you rewards on fashion purchases is UOB One Card. This card lets you earn up to 5% rebate on all your purchases, not just online shopping! Here's how: if you make at least 3 purchases and spend $2000 each month in a quarter (consecutive period of 3 months starting from Jan-March, April-June, July-Sept, Oct-Dec) you can earn up to $300 of cashback, which is equivalent to 5% of your $2000 monthly spending!
