One in Three Supplements Are Fake
I believe I was just ripped off. Purchased a fish oil supplement from Amazon from seller, "Swanson Health Products" which I thought might have been the Amazon storefront for "Swanson Vitamins" which is a legitimate online store. Product looks real but doesn't have the lot number and expiration date printed on the bottom of the bottle like all other products/bottles do from this company. I've called the manufacturer of the product and explained the situation and they urged me not to consume the product saying that it is not safe. I've filed a claim through Amazon to get a refund. It sucks because their are a ton of legitimate Amazon storefronts. The good thing is that I should be able to get my money back.
This counterfeit supplement business seems to be picking up lately. I remember it recently happened at the beginning of 2014....

I think maybe it would be a good idea to keep this thread bumped and have people post any reports of counterfeiting in this thread to keep everyone updated. At least it might help people somewhat to check this thread first before making a purchase.
