Japanese Vitamins and Supplements in Kazakhstan: What to Order from Japan and How It Works

Japanese vitamins are popular in Kazakhstan for clear reasons: careful dosing in small tablets, detailed labels and the Japanese habit of listing the daily serving down to the milligram. Locally, though, the choice of Japanese brands is usually limited, and packs labelled in Japanese are hard to check. This guide covers which Japanese vitamin and supplement brands you can order from Tokyo to Almaty, Astana, Shymkent and other cities in Kazakhstan, how they differ, and how ordering, delivery and customs work.

One thing up front: everything below is a food supplement, not a medicine. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent any disease. If you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition, talk to your doctor before taking any supplement.

Which Japanese brands are in the catalog

DHC. A Japanese supplement brand whose signature is that courses are counted in days: the pack says "20 days", "60 days" or "90 days", and the daily serving is often one capsule or tablet. That makes it easy to work out how long an order will last.

FANCL. Known for sets by age and gender: each sachet holds several capsules and tablets selected by the maker for a specific group, such as "women 30+" or "men 40+". The maker's daily serving is 1 or 2 sachets, which are easy to carry.

Orihiro. A Japanese maker with many chewable tablets in our catalog, in fruit and yogurt flavours, as well as capsules and powders. The chewable format suits people who find tablets hard to swallow.

Dear-Natura. A supplement line from Asahi Group Foods. The maker spells out the daily serving in detail and produces multi-ingredient multivitamins with amino acids.

Nature Made. A Japanese line of simple single-ingredient and basic supplements: calcium, B vitamins, zinc, iron, multivitamins.

All brands are listed in the Supplements & Vitamins section, and vitamins have their own Vitamins subsection.

How to read a Japanese label

Japanese packs list ingredients and nutrition per daily serving, not per tablet. So first check how many tablets make up a serving (for example 1, 2, 3 or 8), then compare the amount of each vitamin. Every product page on the site has the ingredients and directions translated from the manufacturer's official information, plus the warnings from the pack: who the maker does not recommend the product for and which allergens it contains.

We cover Japanese label terms in more detail in how to read Japanese supplement labels and choosing by age in Japanese vitamins by age.

What to order: 8 products to start with

The descriptions below come from the manufacturers' information and describe composition and directions, not effects on the body.

• DHC Multivitamin, 90-day supply: a multivitamin with B vitamins, vitamins C, D and E, beta-carotene, hesperidin and rutin; one capsule a day. The maker specifically warns pregnant women not to exceed the recommended folic acid intake.
• DHC Vitamin D, 60-day supply: vitamin D3, one tablet a day, swallowed with water without chewing.
• DHC Natural Vitamin C (Acerola), 120 capsules: vitamin C from acerola juice, 300 mg of vitamin C and 10 mg of acerola polyphenols per capsule; the maker recommends 4 capsules a day, so a pack lasts 30 days.

What to look at when choosing

• Format. DHC capsules and tablets are swallowed whole, Orihiro chewables are chewed or dissolved in the mouth, and FANCL comes in sachets per serving. Pick what you will find easy to take every day.
• Course length. Compare not just the pack price but how many days it lasts: a 90-day pack can work out better value than a 20-day course.
• Serving. Vitamin amounts are listed per daily serving, and a serving can be one tablet or several.
• Combining. If you take a multivitamin and a separate vitamin D or C, add up the amounts from both servings and discuss it with your doctor. There is no need to exceed the daily amount the maker specifies.
• Allergens and restrictions. Product pages include the maker's translated warnings: who the product is not recommended for and which ingredients may cause allergies.

How to order from Kazakhstan

1. Add products to the cart and choose Kazakhstan as the destination. The cart splits the order into parcels within the weight Japan Post accepts for Kazakhstan.
2. Sign in or create an account and enter your address with its six-digit postal code.
3. Pay by card via Stripe. You are charged in Japanese yen; you can view prices in tenge with the currency switcher in the header, and your bank sets the final tenge amount.
4. Once the parcel ships, a tracking number appears in your account.

The minimum order counts products only, without shipping; it is currently ¥8,000, and the cart always shows the current minimum.

Delivery times

• Preparing the order: usually 3-5 business days for warehouse items and 7-10 business days for items sourced to order.
• In transit: parcels to Kazakhstan go by Japan Post airmail, for which the post gives a general range of 5-21 days.

Times are not guaranteed: customs clearance also plays a part.

Customs: the EAEU threshold

Kazakhstan follows the rules of the Eurasian Economic Union. A parcel with goods up to €200 and weighing up to 31 kg enters with no charges. Above the threshold, from 1 July 2026 there is 5% duty on the full value (at least €1 per kilogram) plus 16% VAT. Where these apply, the recipient pays them; they are not included in our prices. Amounts are indicative, and Kazakh customs make the final decision on every parcel. More on the shipping to Kazakhstan page.

Returns

Unopened items in their sealed factory packaging can be returned within 14 days of delivery; email info@eurasiajp.com first. Opened supplements cannot be returned for hygiene reasons, so check the ingredients and allergens on the product page before you order.

Frequently asked questions

Are these medicines? No. They are food supplements; they do not replace a varied diet and are not intended to treat or prevent disease. Talk to your doctor before taking them, especially alongside medication or during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

How do I know how long a pack will last? DHC and Dear-Natura often put the course length in the product name ("30 days", "100 days"). Otherwise, divide the number of tablets in the pack by the daily serving shown on the product page.

Is there a translation of the ingredients? Yes. Every product page has the ingredients and directions translated from the manufacturer's official information, including warnings and allergens.

Will there be duty on vitamins? Parcels to Kazakhstan follow the common EAEU threshold: nothing to pay up to €200 and 31 kg per parcel. Above it there is 5% duty (at least €1 per kg) plus 16% VAT; customs set the final amount.
