I'm into supplements, it's what I'm all about. You don't get into the kind of shape i'm in naturaslly..Some days all I eat is supplements and chicken, in fact I just got done taking my daily regimen and I'm full... Are there any restrictions on these type of products? How about HGH?

We overlook Tap o' Noth from the lounge, the highest point in Aberdeenshire. Gee that would be two people I have met from QL.

Me from a tropical (third world) country and living in the sandpit for 7 years...I'm sure I would love a drive down the countryside with all the colors of the rainbow to see. :D

I may be in your neck of the woods sometime late this year, who knows...insha'Allah :)

Your fiance would be correct it has been a little chilly.

In fact we have just had a few hailstones and the sun is now out. Temperature is still only just into double figures. Falkirk to Aberdeen by bike wouldn't be my idea of a decent day trip. Not a lot to see in the granite city. We are on the north side of Aberdeen en-route for Inverness.

Over the weekend without all my suppliments- I felt weak and sluggish and probably would have done a lot better at the negotiating table had I been at full strength.

of course a person can live without supplements, its your personal choice of life. Some people want to take it to improve their life and make some changes others do it naturally :)

By flor1212• 16 May 2012 12:55
flor1212

really a big issue in coming here? Can a person live without these supplements? As somebody said, most of these items are available here BUT even if it not available, does it mean life and death if not taken?

What about importing natural supplements like Green Tea, etc but 500MG capsules, i did get my acai berry tabs but my Green Tea Supplement is missing or held in customs.

Did anyone order Stimulant free Fat Burners and manage to get it.. just curious as i believe mine is confiscated.

i just got my stock of ON Whey protein and Acai Berry pills which i ordered last week, my Green Tea Natural Supplement is missing and delayed by over two weeks, i had ordered separately :( i guess its the customs who are holding it .. i will try to go to Qpost tomorrow and see what they are holding it for .. alteast they can release the rest of the items in the package :(

i just ordered some whey protein off bodybuilding.com and some Acai berry diet pills for the Mrs, i hope it gets through. Problem in Qatar is that the Stock is limited and you dont get the flavors you want and you have to pay double amount than what is actually available.

I am kind of worried now since this post, i hope it gets through.

I agree that banned substances are not allowed in Qatar, but i believe that products like Optimum Nutrition which is sold in the market should not have any issue letting into Qatar if purchased online or elsewhere, unless you import some exotic / Herbal or Ayurveda substance that is banned.

I know there is a Ministry of Health official who inspects such items when in Customs and if he gives the clearance its released, and if its banned, then customs holds it.

By the Way did you order the complete stack as in the photo or what did you order ? And what items were confiscated by customs so readers can beware from your experience not to order next time if you don't mind sharing.

A river runs right through my property- and on the shore I'll make some rice and heat the pan up- Then I horse a fish in real fast, run a fillet knife down each side and throw the fillets it the hot pan with butter while the meat is still alive- I throw the fish back in and they actually try to swim away until they realize their sides are gone..It's alive one minute and were earting it about 2 minutes later..

Now thats fresh

Here's the process

OTC drugs, homeopathic or otherwise are not necessarily legal here.

The only list I've ever seen is from the UAE Dept of Health that gives specifics (google it - it should pop up)

Robaxecet as an example is classified as a narcotic even though it is bought off the shelf in North America. As are poppy seeds - which are sold in grocery stores in North America and Europe.

Better research specific supplements before you come

About the only thing you can't bring are homeopathic meds. If it's over the counter in the US, it's probably OK.

u can bring them here as long as the substances are not banned here in qatar and am sure none of them are. BTW get ur stock of stack as supplements are reallly reallly hard to find here in Qatar. u have a few GNC stores but all u get is Whey protein (not ON, only GNC), creatine n some fat burners like hydroxycut and lipo-6, u get yohimbe, glutamine and CLAs in a few stores but u cant find animal cuts and other stuff easily.

If u can, do get me a 5lb jar of Whey protein from ON ;)
