Every single postal package that comes into this country (Australia) is scanned. I imagine that there is more credibility if a package with supplements comes in from a company such as iHerb than from an individual.

I have not had any problem receiving Methycobalamin posted from iHerb but I do only get the one bottle of any particular supplement at any one time. There is import criteria and if ones abides by it then there is usually no problem.

Does scanned means it goes through some kind of x-ray device??

Thanks,

Hello,

I have asked the regulators about this.

Here is my Email to Customs, sent last Friday:

This appears to answer the question. I will let you know what happens when I try to import some.

Since my original post explaning the availability of methylcobalamin imported in to Australia, I personally haven't had any problems importing B12 methylcobalamin or lipioc acid, carnitine, or GLA, but i only order one item at a time and all has come through Aussie customswith no problems, they always do open the packet and check inside all of my orders and leave information on it saying that they done so.
However i have learn't by Aussie, that our Quarentine officers can do random inspections on any imported parcels coming into our country which attracts a $48 dollar quarentine fee, these checks are random and indiscriminate, but can happen.

the other day, a study was published, that used 3 vitamins; half the 5,442 participants took 2.5milligrams folic acid, 50 milligrams b6, 1 milligram of vitamin b12 daily, while the rest took a placibo.no harm came from the vitamins and homocystien levels fell by nearly one-fifth in that group, but there was no appreciable difference in the incidence of heart problems or heart related deaths, compared to the placibo group in the seven years.
they failed to reduce heart problems,? any idea why?
they used inactive cobalamins, and treated the test, homocystien, so they improved the test results, but failed to fix the problems.NOW if they used active b12, methylfolate, b complex et al, they might have actualy had some some healing, as predicted,giving just 3 factors failed to heal the problem, even while improving the test results a bit, especially since all 3 forms, that they gave people are dependent upon the body, to be changed into active forms.
