IIRC, Source Naturals was considered a good brand. I’m looking for high quality without paying for things like Twinlabs pretty bottles. Also, if you know a cheap, reliable suppllier that would be appreciated too. Thanks.

For general nutritional stuff, the Vitamin Shoppe store brand is pretty good. Is that what you’re looking for, or are you also looking for sports supplements?

Oh, forgot to mention–Vitamin Shoppe stuff is cheap, and they usually have a good price on other brands. Check out their [website](http://www.vitaminshoppe.com).

Yea I have always bought the Vitamn Shoppe stuff and was told that while they are good on most things, some of the stuff I was interested in required too delicate a process to trust to them. I found a good source today - [www.iherb.com](http://www.iherb.com) - they’re pretty picky about their brands and you can see what the best selling brands are (and they aren’t usually chosen by price).
