Where to Buy Supplements in Gran Canaria (Without Losing Your Mind or Wallet)

Looking for omega-3, magnesium, or something fancier like magnesium taurate in Gran Canaria? You’re not alone. Someone recently asked in our Slack group, “Where do you even buy supplements here? Is there an online shop for the Canaries?” And the replies? Pure gold.

If you’ve just landed and the island’s supplement scene feels like a scavenger hunt, here’s your friendly guide to where (and how) to stock up in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

🧪 Start Simple: Pharmacies (Yes, Really)

Let’s not overthink it: most standard supplements are available at your nearest farmacia. You’ll usually find the basics: omega-3, magnesium, multivitamins, vitamin D, and the like.

Prices can vary, but they’re often surprisingly fair. One community member picked up a solid magnesium + multivitamin combo for around €5. Sure, you might find it cheaper online, but when you need something now, a quick walk to the corner pharmacy wins.

🛒 Online Shops That Actually Deliver to the Canary Islands

Now for the trickier bit. A lot of online shops stop shipping the moment they see a Canary Islands postcode. But a few do it right — and they’re well-loved by locals.

1. HSN Store

This one got multiple shout-outs. A solid range, fair pricing, and yes, they ship to Gran Canaria. Just expect a 1–2 week delivery window. Several folks even mentioned seeing HSN parcels on delivery trucks around Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, so it’s definitely a local favourite.

2. Energy Nutrition

This one’s based in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and has a physical store you can visit. The website might not win any design awards, but the shop is legit and stocked with sports nutrition and supplements. Great if you want to see before you buy.

3. Sanus Online

Another online-only option that ships directly to the Canary Islands. It’s not the slickest site, but it works, and that’s what matters when your magnesium levels are low.

4. Gran Farmacia Online

Tailored for Canary Islands delivery, this is a nice in-between option with a mix of classic pharmacy items and more niche wellness picks.

🔍 Want More Choice? Go Hunting

Looking for something a bit more specific, like magnesium glycinate, zinc carnosine or rhodiola? You’ll probably want to explore beyond the basics. Try searching Google Maps in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria using terms like “suplementos” or “complementos alimenticios.”

You might just uncover a hidden gem of a health shop tucked away near your favourite brunch spot.

🧠 Bonus Tip for the Desperate (and Determined)

Miss iHerb? Same. Sadly, they no longer ship directly to the Canaries. But some resourceful folks use mainland Spain as a drop-off point, then forward the package using a third-party courier service. It’s not fast or cheap, but it’s an option if you’re craving hard-to-find goodies.

☀️ Final Scoop

Yes, you can find supplements in Gran Canaria: you just need to know where to look. For day-to-day essentials, your local pharmacy and HSN have you covered. For the good stuff, go local, get curious, and don’t be afraid to poke around a few less-polished websites.

And if you discover a new place that deserves a shout-out? Drop it in Slack and help your fellow supplement hunters stay strong, sane, and well-mineralised.

¡Salud!

    A least half of the appeal of Las Palmas for remote workers and digital nomads is rooted in this community. It’s the best I’ve seen so far in terms of how well it is organised, structured and nurtured. It offers excellent opportunities to meet new people and explore the island.
