Ryu - I live in NI too, where do you buy your stuff/train?
Live outside Dungannon Tyrone buy my stuff in Cookstown - a chemists there stocks creatine and protein powders.
Cool, Im in Bangor and we have a supplement shop in town. My girlfriend is from Ballymena where the N.I. Maximuscle branch is, not that I’ll be using Maximuscle again!![/quote]
lol Ballymena is like the hotel california - check in any time you like, but you can never leave - with the one way system and roundabouts.
Which online retailer are we talking about?
pm me if you don’t want to post it please.
Me too please, this thread has made me decide that I just gotta try some Biotest stuff. Actually maybe this thread will make T-Nation/Biotest see that theres a market for them here and sort out some decent arrangements for us to get their products.

I agree entirely. Biotest are completely missing out on a huge market over here that is begging for more quality at a cheaper price. I would love to buy it but 40quid (60-70 dollars) for a tub of grow? No thanks. You can get it a little cheaper but not a whole load. Cost-wise, it’s just not feasable. I buy from MyProtein and get along just fine but if Biotest found a way to produce/export here and keep costs low, I would definitely give it a shot.
They sell supplements in Asda (Wal-Mart) if Wal-Mart in the States sells Biotest, maybe the Biotest guys should speak to someone at Wal-Mart and get them to sell it over here. UK supermarkets have, as far as I can see, the largest range of foods and drinks of any supermarkets in any countries I’ve been to, US included. I’m not sure why this is, but whenever I’ve been in the US I noticed the range of foods is greatly reduced compared to my local Asda or Tesco. I’m talking about huge Supermarkets in the States and not little shops the size of Spar or Circle K.
Asda already sell some brand of whey and creatine not noticed who makes it.

In case no-one’s aware of it, T-Nation is planning on shipping outside the US using USPS, which is way cheaper than FedEx. They announced it some 6-8 weeks ago, and said it would take a while to set up.
I’m not sure it will be worth it for the protein, but it will certainly work out great with the other supps as they’re small, light containers.
Depends on the Customs thing, I order guitar bits from this place in Ohio and they come ok, had Ash Strat bodies worth $500 come through to UK no probs. However a friend ordered an ECU or something similar for his 91 Camaro and they charged his ass import duty on it. What gives !
I would love to know where people are getting Biotest cheaply in the UK as I would love to give Surge and Grow! a go.
Am using HOT-ROX at the moment and it cost me ?43 for the Fat-Loss Phenomenom version (i.e. not max-strength). think that is an ok price, but the same site had Grow! at ?40 for a kilo and that is oo much I’m afraid.
And Surge works out at about ?3+ per serving over here.
Anyone have an alternative to Surge til we can get it for good money?
Well whoever it is that runs the Biotest.co.uk site used to do me a bulk order; whereby if I ordered ?250 of stuff (ex VAT price) then he would not charge me that VAT.
That was about 2 years ago though. In any case, just email them asking about bulk orders, they may still offer a similar service.
Well, I buy my fish oil caps from Holland & Barrett, but everything else seems pretty expensive. (The costs of actually owning a high-street shop I guess?).
USN ireland. Best place ever. Free delivery and 25% off when you order 4 or more products from their website. Its brilliant. Comes to my door in two days. Thats the only stuff i use.
