Where to buy medicines over the counter

Hello!
Which are the best shops to buy over the counter medicines, but not pricey and being sure they're from a trustworthy origin??
I need to buy sublingual B12 Methylcobalamin, methylfolate and gentle iron.
I've been searching online and the costs are either pricey or I'm not sure on their origin.
Any advice on this will be much appreciated.

Wouldnt you just go to your local pharmacy if they're just regular over the counter stuff. Or am I missing something

Over the counter medicines are ones that can are ones that can only be bought - over the pharmacy counter. So they have to be sold under a pharmacist's supervision.

The ones you've listed are nog standard supplements. You can buy them whenever you like.

NB the base ingredients (of the supplements) are all very similar, so you pay according to brand, distribution, format etc etc.

Jarrows or Solgar from Amazon.

Redglitter,
In my post I said:
"not pricey and being sure they're from a trustworthy origin", that means I can't go to any pharmacy, I need advice on the best shop/pharmacy to suit my need of not pricey but of a trustworthy origin.
Hope that can be more clear.

timeistight,
Thanks! That's the kind of answer I'm looking for with my post.
I'll take a look at both Jarrows and Solgar.
Thanks again!
