Singapore: Pharmacy vs Online
Health supplements in Singapore are commonly purchased through pharmacies, supermarkets, and online platforms.
- Pharmacies allow direct discussion about ingredient overlaps and label interpretation.
- Online platforms provide broader selection and price comparison, but require careful verification of seller credibility and product information consistency.
