Vitacost.com carries NSI brand, which is pharmaceutical grade.

They R overall the cheapest place I've found, in general. Plus, I get lotsa other products there at GREAT prices (Kiss My Face brand soaps, Toms of Maine toothpaste, Long Life Organic Teas, etc.).

PS Remember, LESS of the pharmaceutical grade goes as far as higher doses of non-pharm, so don't compare apples to oranges.

I was wondering how they ship those vits. Is there any special packing for the ones that are easily destroyed by heat? Bcomplex, etc?

My guess would be that the vitamins are stable unless vitamins get CRAZY hot, like if stored in a hot humid place (bathroom cabinet). My shipments are never hot when they arrive - they are shipped via FEDEX.

Hmmmm, maybe I'll give it a try. I was worried about them sitting in the backs of hot trucks, but my guess is the ones in the stores are delivered that way too, so what we be the difference huh?

I order my supps direct from a pharmaceutical grade company and the only supplements that they ship special are the probiotics during the summer months. Just make sure to immediately refridgerate the supps you are supposed to refridgerate and they should be fine.
