Thank you for your feedback and we are always trying to iterate on our ability to be more transparent with our customers.

What we are attempting to do in the next few weeks is:

1) Adding a feature that includes comparisons in dosages with our service versus standard multi-vitamin pills.

2) And yes to the US only customers. Do you suggest we put it on the home page? That would be easy to do.

I sort of guessed about it being US-only when I saw inches and lbs so perhaps in that same page should be okay :-) I hope I can try it someday!

We are looking to expand into other countries this coming year in particular possibly Canada and Australia. Where are you hoping for us to ship?

There are lots of regulatory limitations in making sure each supplement is allowed for consumption in each country (let alone each state). So we are making sure we have all the precautions met before doing something worldwide.

Why not ship worldwide all at once?

The US is notoriously unregulated. Why bother in countries with strong consumer protection and health claim laws? Ride the wave of corruption while it's still possible. Its not going to go anywhere under Trump.

iHerb ships to over 150 countries, somehow. As well as many online stores that ship almost everywhere.

I am not sure what kind of problem there can be in shipping supplements, which are unregulated by definition.
