Availability of multivitamins in Lahore

Hi all,

I need some help please ..

I know very little about Lahore , hence those who know the city well, please can you tell me how easily the following are available in the shops?

  • Vitamin B tablets/capsules
  • Flax seed or Alsi as known in urdu
  • Omega 3 fish oil capsules

Any good brands of post natal multivitamin?
Also are these above mentioned expensive options?

'Biopreg f' is one multivitamin tablet that I would suggest. Am not sure if it is sold under the same name in Pak though...

Re: Availability of multivitamins in Lahore

All are easily available in Khi so I guess same applies for Lhr.

Re: Availability of multivitamins in Lahore

how much do these cost in Rs ?

Thanks so much for the recommendations ..

Re: Availability of multivitamins in Lahore

There are gnc brand shops in lahore where you can get flax seeds and multivitamins of all kinds. They are pricey though.

Re: Availability of multivitamins in Lahore

CB, I live in Pakistan not Lahore though. If she is getting the vits from a Pakistani based company then they are not really pricey. I dont know the exact amount but i found them very cheap, esp vit Bs. Flaxseed aswell is very cheap and very easily available. Omega 3s on the other hand, the ones i bought were imported(the only i could get my hands on) and were pricey, there might be some cheaper options available. I had to take them for my depression.

Re: Availability of multivitamins in Lahore

I get mine from GNC next to TNM on MM Alam road

Re: Availability of multivitamins in Lahore

Proto, are the GNC vitamins in Pakistan all made specially for the predominantly Muslim market; are they Halal?

Re: Availability of multivitamins in Lahore

I use these only for my kids and the ingredients say no dairy products used :bummer: so I think they dont contain anything doubtful, no ?

Nutrition Now® Rhino Gummy Bear Vitamins™ - NUTRITION NOW - GNC

Nordic Naturals® Children’s&#153 DHA - Strawberry - NORDIC NATURALS - GNC

ok, I am worried now :frowning: HELP !

Re: Availability of multivitamins in Lahore

I didn't mean to worry you. May vitamins in the US contain added gelatin (esp. gummy vitamins) or are derived from unknown/unacceptable sources (often B12). I often have to go out of my way to find either vitamins that are suitable for vegetarians or where the capsule is made from fish gelatin. These tend to be harder to find and more expensive. I was wondering if the ones sold in Pakistan are made from all Halal ingredients even though GNC is a US based company. If they were, that would be awesome. Another thing to buy when visiting Pakistan!

Re: Availability of multivitamins in Lahore

So I just looked the the ingredients for the fish oil and vitamins and both contain gelatin. In the US the gelatin will of course be from non-zabiha sources and may contain gelatin derived from pig unless it is labeled Kosher. You should ask your local GNC (please let us know!). The products may be made locally with Halal gelatin. I buy:

Amazon.com: Nordic Naturals Omega-3 w/ Fish Gel, 60-Count: Health & Personal Care

which is usually more expensive.

Re: Availability of multivitamins in Lahore

I am even doubtful about halal authenticity of centrum :s
anyone has any idea if multivits available in Saudi Arabia and ME are halal certified?

Re: Availability of multivitamins in Lahore

I called them and they had no idea !!! what would you expect from people here in pakistan. he said ’ humayn tau salary milti hai yeh products sell karnay kay liay…aagay apki marzi hai layn ya na layn’ I asked dont you care to know if you are selling haraam stuff ? and he said ’ abb mai amreeka jaanay aur confirm karnay se tau raha’ :smack: Just threw away 4 jars I bought last week. :naak:

any alternatives that are effective and available in lahore ? :bummer:

Re: Availability of multivitamins in Lahore

proto buy the non gummy ones....the tablet forms usuallyd oesnt have gelatin or if you know someone in middle east ask them to bring few for you.
