Why is Canada such a pain in the ass?

I have a condition where my body does not make stomach acid anymore. Everytime I eat a meal, I have to take betaine HCL pills or my body can not digest anything.. Very long explanation, but if I don't take the pills, I slowly become non functional.. It's a awful disorder if you don't take your bills.. You get no nutrition from your food, you don't absorb a lot of the vitamins and minerals etc.. I had 2 university doctors offer me a medical leave from work when I was living with this condition, but not yet diagnoses or treated for it.. that's how shitty it is.

Pills are expensive, and my health plan does not cover them.

Amazon is the cheapest place to buy it from a Canadian supplier.... 58$ dollar bottle of betaine HCL will last me 6 or 7 days.. Thats it... I was spending 2,700$ a year on these pills.. I did this for about 7 years, I didn't have a choice.

I found a company "bulk supplments.com" where I could buy betaine HCL powder in bulk and just cap them myself. It worked out to 27$ for 30 days.. OR 325$ year..

I went to order another 10lbs tonight and when I went to check out, I get the message "this product is not available for delivery to Canada"..

After some googling, I am basically finding out its a circle jerk to force me to buy from Canadian suppliers.. Canadian suppliers are allowed to sell it, but USA suppliers can not ship it to Canada in any quantity..

fucking assholes..

How many MG per serving do you use? I can get these in Walmart in the US, 240 capsules @750mg per capsule for $17

I take 3000mg each meal. That bottle would last me 10 days. Is that 17$ USD?

I really appreciate the offer. I'd need 36 bottles to last a year. I am emailing that bulk supplement place and asking what's up with not shipping to Canada now and see if i can work with them.. If not, I am going to try to get someone in the USA to ship me like 20kg.. I think that's my best option.. If not, I would take you up on your offer if you are willing.

Yikes!!
I have shipped to a store like a UPS outlet that accepts the package and holds it for 2wks. Cost me $12USD. Just search on google for a city near you. I did mine in Buffalo NY. They will not forward though.
