DHAE - getting it shipped from the US to UK

Hi, had a fertility scan yesterday which showed I have low ovarian reserve. It took me by surprise and even the Dr said he wasn't expecting to see it given my history (4 pregnancies, 2 DCs). So, it's down the IVF route we go for baby #3 (I know it's a better position to be in than if it were baby #1).
I can't do anything to improve my low reserve but I was reading on here people's suggestions about taking DHAE and the micronised version in particular to help egg quality. It seems only to be available in the US. If I get a friend to send me some, will it be stopped by customs in the UK? I don't want to waste her time or my money if they won't reach me.
Has anyone had any problems or do vitamins/supplements arrive ok?
Thanks!

Hi Mintie, I've been taking DHEA for the past 6 weeks and I bought it from Biovea.co.uk so there is no need to get if from the USA and suffer the hassle of customs. There was an offer going on for 2 bottles at 31 odd pounds, can't remember. And the delivery was quick too.

I had fertilaid delivered from USA straight from the supplier. Customs wanted a payment (£30) but they let it in
