Want to stock up on vitamins from iHerb? What you need to know and why it matters right now

The iHerb platform operates transparently: the expiration date of a specific batch from the warehouse is visible before you even add the item to your cart.

• Line in the product description. Right below the product name, there is an expiration date field — in the original it is labeled Best By.
• Shop with confidence a year ahead. If the page shows 07/2030, the warehouse is guaranteed to pack a jar with years to spare, and your parcel definitely won't expire during the 5–10 day transatlantic delivery.

Pay attention to the Serving Size: a label that says 120 Capsules does not mean 120 days of use. If the instructions say to take 2 capsules twice a day (4 per day), that package will last exactly 30 days. Accordingly, if you're buying vitamins for several family members, multiply that consumption by the number of people and the course duration — for example, a preventive course of vitamin D3 typically lasts 3 to 6 months.

To make stocking up on supplements as cost-effective as possible, we offer a special promotional rate for iHerb orders: $12.99 up to 1 kg and $38.90 up to 3 kg. This offer is valid until January 31, 2027, and is available both for self-shopping and when ordering through our specialists, with delivery to a pickup point or parcel locker.

• Reserve weight for packaging. The iHerb interface shows the net weight of items (shipping weight). To stay within the promotional weight limits, leave room for the box and packing materials: for the up-to-1 kg rate — about 200–250 grams; for the up-to-3 kg rate — about 300–350 grams.
• Free purchase assistance. If you don't have a foreign bank payment method, our operators will place the order for you. With promo code GETIHERB the buyout service fee is waived — you only pay for the cost of the items and shipping.
• Item quantity limits. A single parcel may contain up to 20 units of product, with the restriction of no more than 3 identical items and no more than 4 items of the same type.
• Order under a family member's name. If you need to bring in a large batch of similar items, add additional recipients — relatives, friends, or colleagues — in your personal account. You can pay for everything with your own card, distributing items among recipients without the risk of it being treated as a commercial shipment at customs.
• Duty-free threshold of €200. To avoid paying government duties, make sure the declared value of a single parcel does not exceed €200. If your total purchase exceeds this amount, split your cart into several separate parcels at the checkout stage.
• An extra convenience of our service — when placing an order, you can simply send a single link to your entire iHerb cart, and all declarations are filled in for you by an AI assistant. No need to enter the link, name, price, and quantity for each product individually — our internal neural network does it all in seconds!

In sealed factory packaging, products are guaranteed to retain their biological activity throughout the entire stated shelf life:

• Keep the seal intact. The factory protective foil or tight membrane prevents the contents from coming into contact with atmospheric moisture and oxygen. Only open the next container once the previous one is empty.
• Leave the silica gel in place. The small desiccant packet inside an open jar absorbs moisture particles every time you unscrew the lid.
• Choose the right storage spot. A dry, closed cabinet in a room at 22–24 °C is the ideal environment for long-term storage. A space near the stove or a bathroom shelf is fine for a jar you're currently using, but is absolutely unsuitable for stockpiles due to humidity and constant temperature fluctuations.
